I rate myself on a scale of 1-10 like this;
Spiritual 7
physical 5
psychological 8
I feel like I can take more time on each of these in order to increase my rating. I get so busy with school and work that I am exhausted and do not take enough time on myself. Spiritually I can take more time to read my Bible and pray in my quiet place. I will make a goal to do this for at least 15 minutes each day, physically I will make a goal to walk my dog each day. I walk all day at work and literally do not want to exercise anymore when I get home so I will make a small goal for now and I will commit to working out on my exercise equipment I have in my basement for 10 minutes each day. Psychologically, the spiritual and physical will increase my psychological health alone. I also know that school helps me psychologically. I will try relaxing in a quiet place as a daily goal.
The relaxation exercises are kind of strange but interesting. I have done a tense and relax exercise often to relax each muscle and really like it the best.
Heather,
ReplyDeleteI love that you include taking time to read the Bible and pray in your quiet place. I always find when I go to my secret place no matter how reluctant I am to take the time I feel completely rejuvenated, renewed, redeemed, and inspired.
I hope that you make good use of your gym! And I also think that school helps me psychologically too by giving me the positive personal stressors I am able to grow as a person (=
I also enjoy the Mothers of Preschoolers Ministry (MOPS) because I am able to enter a safe and secure judgement free zone with mothers of my peer group.
