Rating my physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Physically I would rate myself at a 6. I really try my hardest to stay active, and I really am on the weekends, but during the week I find it very difficult to be active after work and before I start my school work. I know, excuses, excuses, but I am mentally exhausted by the time I get home from work, so I just try to keep a balance between rest and work the best I can. I plan on implementing a new work out regimen as soon as I am finished with my degree in July. Making a plan will help me reach this goal I think.
Mentally I would rate myself at a 9. I think I am a very rational and well rounded person and I love intellectual stimulation. I am obsessed with reading and learning new information and am always up for a game. I also meditate often and make sure to have plenty of quiet time to reflect and think about my day. I also have a positive attitude and try not to take life so seriously. I would like to attain another degree after I complete this one, but only after I take a short break from school. Talking to some admissions advisers at different schools to see what Masters programs I might be interested in will start me on the right path of reaching this goal.
Spiritually I would rate myself at a 8. I was raised as a Christian, but I do not consider myself to be religious per se. I am a spiritual person, but do not necessarily practice an organized religion. I would like to learn more about other religions around the world, such as Buddhism in order to understand a different side of my spirituality. I think I will pick up a book about Buddhism and read about it to begin to take in some new ideas.
Why this relaxation exercise is named The Crime of the Century I do not understand, maybe because it is a crime that we do not take the time we deserve to relax and focus on ourselves most of the time. What ever the case this exercise was extremely relaxing for me, so much so that I think I dozed off a time or two while listening to it.
I visited my brother and his family in Georgia this past weekend, here is a picture of the fishing spot my brother and I were at on the Chattahoochee River. Very peaceful and relaxing!
But no fish were caught that day.
