Unit 3: Personal Reflections
     On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate my physical well being at a 5.  My eating habits are pretty good, eating home cooked meals more than take out, and choosing baked snacks over fried.  I don't drink soda or alcohol.  But I am not exercising on a regular basis yet. I am on my feet for my job frerquently through the day; and my commute includes two 10 minute plus a 15 min walk every day. But they don't get my heart rate up.
      My spiritual wellbeing is doing much better, about an 7.  I spend time in scripture daily, and listen to worship music over secular.  I am also active in my church, assisting with various activities. I have a lot more growing to do, but I have imrpoved so much over the past couple years, I believe I have achieved a 7 out of 10.
     As for psychological health, it comes in at 5 or 6.  I have been working on it through my spiritual side, by reciting positive scriptures and listening to encouraging songs.  But I do still too frequently struggle with fears and worries; often doubting my ability to conquer or be successful in a tough spot (even though I have many under my belt, they are quickly forgotten).

       The relaxation exercise sounded sci-fi-ish to me, with the narrator describing different colored beams of light coming from different parts of the body.  My discomfort with this exercise eased when he described a "bright white light" surrounding me.  I immediately thought of Jesus and heaven. Before that, I was unable to completely relax. But afterwards, I became willing to go through this exercise again, at a later time when my family is asleep and not interrupting me.
