Unit 3 Blog

Based on my inner and outer reflections on a scale of 1 to 10, I would say that I sit at a 7 overall but continuously working towards a 9( If I reach 10 what would I have to work towards).  My physical well being I rate at a 5 1/2, and that is only because I remember being a 9 while in the military.  Spiritual well being I rate at a 8, my conniption with the Lord and Lady holds firm and keeps me grounded in both mind and soul.  Psychologically I rate at a 9, and that is because the first two aspects of physical well being and spiritual well being keep me grounded and teach me to clear my mind, work my body and strive for overall peace.


I want to increase my physical activity again, so from our blog this week I said I have never taken hot yoga, so I have investigated and found a class here in Olympia WA that teaches hot yoga.  The spring celebration is coming up this week, so I will attend the prayer and blessing ritual for the spring solstice.  I normally practice alone but will attend with others if possible.


I love to read, I think it keep your mind sharp and allows you to shut down or tune out the hectic world around you.  So my goal is to continue reading and expanding my brain, I had a teacher once who said it does not make a difference what you read as long as you read because the mind needs the exercise and the brain needs the journey.


I tried the relaxation exercise from the Crime of the Century, was is beneficial to me I don't know yet I think I have to try it more than once.  I did not encounter any frustration but there was also nothing that stood out to me during the 20 min program either.

  1. What other kinds of physical activity do you do? Do you walk, run, bike? I have never tried hot yoga either but am a little afraid too.

    I do think reading is great for your mind? Have you ever tried doing a craft like cross stitching? I used to do it many years ago and recently started back up and find it very relaxing.

    Good luck reaching your goals!!
