Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?
My Physical wellbeing would be rated as a 6 or 7, I am not exactly in the weight bracket that I would like to be. I am not where I should be for my height. I have had problems losing weight after I had my children, and it has affected my knees and my back tremendously. I have had knee problems for a long time, and they get worse every day. My spiritual wellbeing would be a 9, I would like to get back to being a strong christian. I feel that I have not been as strong spiritually as I used to be, and I tend to fix that. My psychological wellbeing would have to be an 8. I have anxiety and OCD issues. I am not afraid to admit my weaknesses when it comes to the psychological aspect of things. I know that I am emotionally damaged from the tough times that I have been through in my life. However, even though I have these two issues, I know that I can be okay on my own with or without medication for it. I am not sick, I just have an anxiety condition, I have bad nerves from my past, but that doesn't stop me from being who I am, and what I want to accomplish in my life.
Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).
Physical goal- Lose weight to reach my goal weight, and feel good about my outer appearance.
Spiritual goal- Get closer to God and become more in touch with my spirituality.
Psychological- Try to not let everything and everyone upset me when I get in stressful situations.
What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
I can walk everyday to relieve stress and relax a little more instead of cleaning inside of the house all of the time.

REFLECTION ON RELAXATION EXERCISE

This exercise was very interesting, because it actually worked! I think that it relaxed me so much that I almost fell asleep! haha! Taking deep breaths, telling yourself you are feeling heavy, the heaviest you can be. Making your blood flow through your body, through your muscles. Absolutely a great exercise that relates to the mind-body aspect on things. I think that maybe when we get upset and stressed out from our busy day(s), we should take a little time out of our busy day to try this exercise. It's more of a meditation tecnique, and I kind of like it! ;)
Hello Everyone!
My name is Sheena! I want to welcome you to my blog! :D I hope you enjoy all of the great information I will be updating you with!
In the meantime, I will tell you a little about myself!
I am studying at Kaplan University to be a Medical Assistant. I love helping people , I don't think I could be a nurse do to personal reasons, however, a medical assistant is the closest thing I can get to the medical field. I am very excited to graduate, I have 4 classes left ,  my externship, and then I graduate! I am 25 years old, I am happily married with two beautiful daughters. Their ages are 2 and 4. Family is very important to me and I would do anything to help and take care of them. I was born and raised  a Jersey girl, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I love animals, I have a beagle puppy, a Jack russel, 13 chickens, and 3 rabbits.
