When rating my physical well being I would have to say that I am at about a seven. I feel this way, because I currently do not have any problems but I do a lot of things that put me at risk. I am overweight, I smoke, and I eat pretty much anything if you deep fry it. So saying that I am any better than a seven would be a complete lie.
Psychologically I would rate my well being at about a seven also. I don't handle stress properly, but I know that this is something I need to work on. Also since I do unhealthy things, even while knowing their unhealthy, I figure a seven works.
Spiritually I would have to say I fluctuate between like a seven and a five. Sometimes I start to do well when looking inside myself, and finding inner peace, but I tend to be easily distracted. If one thing sets me off I fall into a downward spiral.
Goals
To help my physical well being I think I need to first start my incorporating more exercise into my life.
I could do things as simple as walking somewhere close instead of taking my car.
To help my psychological well being I need to find my stressors, and realize ways to extinguish their pull on my emotions. One thing that I do think really helps in a stressful situation is to remember to set back and breathe. You need to think first and react later,and not the other way around.
To help my spiritual well being I need to get away from the hustle and bustle and find a quiet place to call my own. I sometimes find this difficult with teenage daughter, but I can do this while she is at school or when she is asleep.
I enjoyed reading your post, you have a good sense of humor! I have two young daughters so I find quiet time a very rare incident and when it does happen I normally want to nap so it is hard to work on my spiritual growth. However, I do find that if I set a time everyday that no matter what I am going to do something to help myself I find that this helps. Even if my daughter is not sleeping I will make it quiet time and I feel like I can get something accomplished.
