On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my physical well-being at an 2, (1 being the best). I am really active. Besides running after 5 kids every day, I go to gym 5 days out of the week. I do an experienced level spin class 2 of the days, yoga 2 of the days, and I lift and do crew one other day. I have no physical ailments. I am strong, thin, and healthy. I do a pretty good job eating nutritious meals and snacks.
My spiritual well-being.... I would rate that a 2 also. I am a very centered, spiritual woman. I have a strong faith in my Father in heaven and Jesus Christ. I have a clear sense of purpose and belonging. I think my hang-up is that I need to read my scriptures more often and regularly. I am a slacker at that.
Setting Goals !!!
Ok, for my goal in Physical well-being I would just like to remain healthy and I want a movie star good looks. Vain? Yes. Realistic? Anything is possible!
Spiritually, my goal is to get remain spiritually solid, but also add a consistent, daily regime for reading my scriptures.
Psychologically I am a mess with stress. I want my stress gone. The biggest factoring cause of that is school. So, my goal is to finish school soon, Next term is my last term before I graduate with a BS in Nutrition Science. My goal is to endure to the end.
In order to reach my goals: 1. Keep working out daily. 2. Read my scriptures daily. 3. Stay in school. Get good grades. To get good grades I need to read my assignments, do my homework and discussions to get them turned in on time, and stay positive about it. I am almost done!

ReplyDeleteI love your posts! They are so entertaining...not the whole part about being completed stressed out, but the pictures and the positiveness you add to them :-). I don't think you are vain at all for wanting a "Hollywood" body; I would LOVE one as well. I guess as long as we both continue to workout and eat right (I need to work on that part a little more) we may EVENTUALLY get there. I have started going to a Bible study to help me with my scripture reading; I too am bad about not reading them regularly. I have a daily devotional bood, maybe try getting one of those or going to a Bible study; I know, I know, I'm telling you to read more...just what you need on top of all the homework you have! At least you only have 7 more weeks till you graduate!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :-D
Tera,
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Like Natasja said, they are very positive. And the music helps me type faster ; ). You said that you have tried the Rainbow method before, thats pretty neat. I really have not meditated before till last week in this blog assignment. I kind like it. But this last one I started falling asleep towards the end. You have some good goals with the typeof lifestyle you are living. Im glad to see the stay at home moms out there are not all lazy and selfish. What do you plan on doing with you degree after you are done?? Im still trying to figure out what I want to do with mine in Health and Wellness.
Being so stressed out, do you have a planner? or a To Do list? Those help me out when I have a lot on my plate at work/home/school. I suggest writing it all out so that you are not constantly turning them over in your mind.
Overall good post and I look forward to reading next weeks.

Tara,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post. I enjoyed the visuals you included--they really helped drive your points home.
Congratulations on having your your physical and spiritual well being pretty set and I am sorry that your psychological well being is not where you would like it to be. You have a lot going on in your life at the moment so it makes sense that you would feel overwhelmed. Take a deep breath, stay positive and feel confidence in knowing that you will get through it.
