My physical well-being at the current time is not very good. I would rate it at about a 5 because although I exercise and try to eat healthy, I still have some health problems. I have some joint and spine pain that my health care providers are still figuring out. Other than that, I think that my physical well-being would be pretty good. My spiritual well-being is a 10. I do not feel that I have any issues at the current time in that area. My psychological well-being is a tricky one. Although I am able to say that I have a healthy mind, circumstances and stressors can affect my psychological well-being. Over all I would say it is at about an 8; I cannot say that it is perfect because I currently work at a very highly stressful job. This wipes me out so much at times, I have a lack of emotion toward other things that I should for a short period of time. I do worry about the long-term effects of stress on psychological and physical well-being; however, I do not plan on working at the job I have forever. It is a step toward doing what I know I would really enjoy.
Below are a list of my goals in each area of health and some ways to achieve those goals:
Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).
Physical Goal- resolve issue with joint pain through physical therapy and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Spiritual-Keep sight of beliefs and values
Psychological-reduce over all stress through relaxation techniques such as meditation and physical exercise.
Hello Tiffany it is nice to meet you. I am still trying to figure out how to follow people but I think I have figured it our finally. I am sorry to hear about your joint and back issues, you are so young to start having issues like that. I hope you are able to figure out what is going on soon and that thearpies help you to maintain a pain free life. Your goals sound wonderful and it looks like you are already on track with them. I had a hard time with finding a spiritual goal but I am working on this and hope to learn more on how I can have a better spiritual wellness. It is funny that you say you had to remind yourself to relax a couple times throughout the relaxtion exercise. It is so frustrating when your body wants to relax but the mind does not want to or vis versa. But you are taking the first steps to learning how to relax and you deserve it, especially with the stressful job you have. I like that your goal is to become a nurtrionist for children. I have learned first hand how important nurtrion is for a child and because of this my son continues to grow and thrive. I also believe that because of my son's good nurition status we have less hospital stays even when he is sick. Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to reading more about you.
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to meet you. I have been on such roller coaster over the last month, that I never posted my blog for unit 3. I finally figured out how to input a new post, at least I think I did. Back in 2004, I had lower lumbar surgery after trying everything under the sun for 2 years. No one could figure out what was going on. It was the best thing I could have done for myself; no regrets. I do know how challenging back and hip pain can be, but I'm good to go now. I love your aspirational spirit and I wish you much success. Learning how to heal your inner self will more than reward the outer self. The combination of diet, exercise, meditation and just relaxing does wonders for the psyche. My spirit foundation has worked miracles for me so I'm a huge fan of prayer; it works. Continue to strive!
