Optimal well-being

I would rate my physical well-being at 10. I am happy at where I am currently. Since I am a former competitor it is hard to accept that I will not always be super lean. I have come to accept that being healthy and feeling good is the most important thing. I would rate my spirituality about a 7. I have been working on becoming more spiritual. I feel over the past year I have lost some of my spiritual side due to developing my anxiety disorder. I know that if I can connect with that side of me my anxiety will decrease. I would rate my psychological well being at about a 4 or 5. Dealing with anxiety everyday tends to bring me down. I have to learn to not let the negative feelings overtake the good ones. I think most people are pessimistic (including myself). I am working towards becoming more positive.

My goals for physical is to continue to do what I am currently doing: weight training, cardio, yoga, and proper nutrition. I am happy with my biological self . Spirtually I am going to reconnect withe myself through prayer and meditation. Psychologically I am going to meditate and give myself positive thinking and kick out the negative thoughts. I am going to give myself time to perfect all of these areas. I am a perfectionist who wants immediate results. I now realize that things don't happen over night. It takes practice and repetition just like working out does.

Ok so I just did the crime of the century relaxation and im still pretty relaxed. I enjoyed it more than I did my hypnosis Cd's. I want to share a little bit of my experience when I was soing the exercise. I found it amazing the kind of things I would picture in my mind when I would think of the colors. When he said to think of a bright yellow I pictured the sun shining down onto me. It was funny because I actually caught myself squinting because it was so bright. The other color that struck me was the aqua-blue. I was able to achieve seeing that color by thinking of the ocean in Cancun. I don't know if anyone else has been there, but if you get off the mainland it is a really beautiful blue. Violet was the other color that was very intriging for me. I pictured an orchid that was in full bloom. I could smell the flower the color was so vibrant to me. I hope everyone had as good of an experience as I did! Take care!

About me

I wanted to take some time to tell you all a little about me. I currently live in Texas where it is really hot even when you wake up in the morning. I have just recently started to get up early and go outside in the morning when it is about 80 degrees. This is a time that I am going to use for myself, not my kids or my husband. I am going to reconnect with myself and the world. I am going to leave all cares and worries behind me. I am going to clear my mind of all the tasks that I have to accomplish for the day. I have been losing hope for some time now. I am going to reward myself for positive thinking and attitudes (like I do with my kids). Somehow I feel this will help me grow as a better human being. I hope this helps me to reconnect with myself, my spirtuality, and all the beautiful things in nature.

Hi there!

Hi guys!

This is my first time using a blog so I am a little intimidated by it. I am open to any suggestions on how I can maybe make the most out of it. Thx :)

Ok so I did the relaxation technique. I currently do one everyday as it is. Mine is referred to as the safe place. I pick a place in my mind where I am in charge and everything around me is positive and relaxing. The technique in the audio that we listened to was a little bit different. I hadn't ever thought of making suggestions to my body with my mind to control blood flow. It was a very cool feeling when I did it and I got done. I felt very relaxed like I had just had a massage. My brain felt like mush lol. I liked it and I will try it some more when I get really stressed out.
