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!
I am sure that anxiety can bring your spirits down. It is hard to stay positive when you are constantly dealing with an anxiety disorder. Stick with it though. You are doing an amazing job with class which is at least one positive aspect in your life!
