For some unknown reason, my initial post for section 3 is gone!  I will address the question again so that you can have the assignment. 

On a scale of one to ten, my physical well-being is an 8 or 9, I am physically active, but struggle with healthy eating.  My spiritual well-being is lower at a 5 since I also struggle with finding personal time to relax and reflect on myself.  Psychologically, I am good at about a 9.  I am a very positive person and always look at the bright side of things.

A goal for my physical well being is to eat healthy at least four days a week and drink more water to stay hydrated.  A goal for my spiritual well being is to take at least five minutes each day for myself to reflect on me and get rid of some unneccessary stress.  A psychological goal would be to learn how to retrain my brain to remain calmer when angered before reacting.

The relaxation exercise was neat.  I did feel the energy being transferred from one part of my body to the next.  It was very invigorating for me, I am very stressed these days and it helped to calm me and allow me to rest better.  I almost fell asleep at the kitchen table sitting up in a chair.  Very relaxing!

Sorry my first blog post is gone, don't know what I did or what happened to it.
Thank you Professor for understanding

This week I am planning on finding balance between my job, family, school, and personal time!  If I do nothing else, I will definitely achieve the personal time with myself. 

Desperately in need of a vacation!!!!

Refreshed!

Anyone else get the relaxation that I did from this exercise?  The hectic schedule that everyone keeps in today's society makes us sick.  We should all take time to relax even if it is for a ten minute period.

I really needed the relaxation exercise.  It has been a crazy week for me.  My children take up a lot of my time and I really enjoy being with them, but all parents need their own time.  This relaxation exercise was one I learned last quarter.  It always makes me feel refreshed!
