Going Forward

Hi everyone.  In my initial reflections, I rated my physical well-being as a 6 on a scale of 1-10.  I would have to say that at this point, I am doing a little better but I still need to get my exercise in.  I would only say that I rate gained one point.  I will also need to get those meal times down to something workable. 

In the spiritual well-being, I have implemented the steps of the serenity prayer and that is to not worry about the things that I cannot change.  I have eliminated a lot of pressures in my life and also have continued to reduce the noise in my home.  I have done these things but know that I still have room for improvement so I will rate this one as I did before.  I rate this category as an 8.

In the psychological well-being, I have made an improvement by interacting and reaching out to people more often.  I have started volunteering in other areas of outreach in my church and I now work around people instead of just the home and find that I am instrumental in helping to brighten someone’s day.  In my exhorting, I am often encouraging someone to pay more attention to their total being. I would say that at this point I am at a rate of 8 

I have found many of the exercises to be most helpful.  The human suffering exercise was most difficult for me.  I guess because I try not to look someone’s life in the realm of their suffering.  I don’t quite ignore it, but choose not to focus on the negative in order to improve the positive.
