Reflecting on my physical wellbeing, spiritual wellbeing
and psychological wellbeing I realize that I am not anywhere near where I would
like to be in regard to optimal wellbeing. My physical wellbeing is an 8 because
I believe I am in the best shape and health I’ve ever been in my life. My
husband and I are expecting our first child and eating right and working out
have been very important for not only me but my little one. My spiritual
wellbeing is a 5 due to the fact that I was brought up in an Orthodox home and
went to church camp each year to learn about my religion. I believe as I got
older I let life get in the way of my duty to attend church and practice what I
know. While I still have my faith and am a spiritual person, I believe I could
do better. Lastly, I would rate my psychological wellbeing at a 6. I believe
that my mind is in a million different places sometimes. It is hard to focus on
one task when I have 100 other things to do.
My goal is to remain fit and healthy for my baby. This
includes using the elliptical to exercise and eat fruits, vegetables, and other
super foods! My goal is to attend church and get back into the routine in which
I felt that I had a good relationship with my faith and spirituality. My last
goal is to prioritize a little more and make checklists daily to help keep my
mind in order and block out the irrelevant things in life.
I really enjoyed the exercise this week, just as much as last week. Unlike last week I felt myself very relaxed and at peace. Last week my mind wondered a lot and it did this week too but I felt as if I could realize it then control it and remain focused. I also did not fall asleep this week which tells me I was either able to control my mind and stay awake, I have been getting a good amount of sleep, or both! Either way I felt a lot more still this week and in control.
Hi Amanda. Congratulations on your baby to be! Maybe once your baby is born, it will be easier to attend church weekly since I hear it changes people so much and they want to be more involved in things like that. I am in the same boat with you about being scatterbrained and needing to prioritize more. I want to get all my stuff better organized because I feel it will help me to focus better instead of being all over the place mentally.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the exercise worked out for you this week and Congrats on starting a family, This is a great beining for you and it looks like your on the right track. It seems to me that when we become moms we go back to what made us confortable as a child.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your baby! It is a wonderful thing to have a healthy pregnancy and pass on those healthy habits to your child. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI have always worked and haven't got to church as much as I would like. My husband went to Catholic schools, but I have a lot of room for improvement. I am glad you enjoyed the exercise and are getting plenty of rest.
Congrats on your baby, that is so exciting for you and your husband! I don't have any children but my parents are foster parents so at times I feel like I have a ton of children! I would have to say that I am in the same boat with you completely when it comes to your psychological and spiritual wellbeing. I feel like my mind is always in a million different places and sometimes I can't focus to save my life.
