loving kindess, unit 4 exercise

Hello class and prof, this week’s unit 4 is about loving kindness. The exercise this week was very different. I was not very impressed and it was not what I thought it was going to be. I thought the exercise would be similar to what you would get at a massage place. It was not difficult to do but I kept getting distracted easily. If anything I felt irritated with it for some reason. I do not think I would recommend this to others but I am sure that maybe there are people out their that would enjoy this. A mental work out is simply like a physical body work out. Just like our body needs exercise to keep our blood pumping our mind needs exercises and mental challenging games to keep our mind functioning only to benefit us. Mental workouts can reduce negative emotions and replace them with positive ones.

Judging my scale (1-10) of physical well-being, spiritual well-being, and psychological well-bing. 

What do you think of when you hear physical well-being? It can be defined as the health of the body. Rating my physical well-being I would be at a 7. When I think about it, 10 would be extremely healthy, physically. It would be someone who eats the right foods containing the correct amount of nutrition that our body needs to survive and exercising three to five days a  week. I am at a 7 because I can say I do not eat five fruits and veggies every day like I would want to. My schedule is very busy and I believe that once I am out of school with a big girl job I will have more time to focus on getting back to the athletic body I once had. That could be me making up excuses but it is what it is. My goal is to work one day at a time to manage my time in order to be fit and eat healthy. To get to my goal I can try going to bed earlier and waking up early before work to exercise or go grocery shopping. For my spiritual well being. It is defined as the scale of my relationship with God or my spiritual belief or purpose of life. I would rate myself as a 10. For my goal, I would like to maintain and continue staying motivated. I believe every one has a purpose in life and everyone has skills or talents or goals they want. I have a firm religious belief in God and my life on earth. Ways to continue where I am at is to keep spending time with God and staying positive with every thing I do. Psychological well-being is looked at as happiness. I believe it is about happiness and how we look at life and the situations that life brings to us. I would rate myself with this as a 9 because I am a pretty positive person and tend to find the good things in every bad situation and a way around it. The mind is very powerful and how we decide to use depends on how successful and happy we are as a person. I know I am not perfect and I do tend to have my moments where I feel down. My goal is to work on being more easy going with situations. Their are times when my mind tries to get me to think negatively about small things and I would like to work on that. Exercises like yoga and meditation are things that I can do to help calm my mind and not worry about small things. The relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century was not frustrating at all to me. I really enjoyed it and I will probably go back and do it again.
