Crime of the Century exercise and Self Assessment


Taking inventory of our well-being is very important as it indicates areas of our lives that may be out of balance. In general, I believe that when we don't feel well we can look at these areas and identify at least one area that we have neglected. When we fully understand how each of these impact our overall wellbeing a lack of balance will quickly be recognized and we can implement changes to get back on track. For me personally I would rate my physical, spiritual, psychological wellbeing at an 8 for each. I feel that I am aware of the requirements needed to achieve a high level of wellbeing for each of these categories and make an effort each day to practice wellbeing in each one, although I believe there is always room for improvement.

Goals that I would like to set and actions needed for physical, spiritual, and psychological wellbeing include: 1) maintaining my current level of fitness and eating habits, 2) increasing my spirituality through implementing prayer into my day more frequently, 3) implementing relaxation exercises daily to promote greater psychological wellbeing.
 
The relaxation exercise provided an opportunity to visualize concepts that are central to integral health including the sense of feeling grounded, loved, loving, sense of meaningful purpose, balance, and being connected to others and the environment. This exercise promoted relaxation and over time I imagine that the process of visualizing and utilization of affirmations would promote thoughts or questions within to trigger actions toward achieving a greater sense of these concepts.

  1. Hi Jada,

    I agree, I think there is always room for improvement. Not just with health, but with all things in life. I feel like I am always looking for ways to improve things in my life.

    I think that visualization is a key element. In order to improve on anything and reach our goals, we need to visualize them. If we can't see them, then it's like they don't exist.

  2. Hi,
    I think you have great goals and mindset to acheive them. There is always room for change and improvement, but people have to want it for themselves. I thought the exercise was wonderful. Keep up the good work!

  3. Hello,

    I think that is awesome that you rate yourself and are confident that you are an 8! I most definitely do not have that sort of confidence and I feel that I can always improve on things that I am lacking. That is why I rated myself a 4 or 5 in each of the categories only because I can definitely improve with everything. I think that is amazing that you have a plan to keep your overall wellness is amazing! Great work!
