The Crime of the Century - Unit 3
This exercise was really hard for me to get focused on. Although the narrator's voice is very calm and soothing, I couldn't get myself to focus on the colors and associating it with the different parts of my body. Even though I was doing the breathing my body just wouldn't relax this time. The part of the exercise that I did like was when the narrator was giving phrases to repeat, I can imagine that if I could have gotten my body to relax and focus on the colors it will have a very positive effect on me. I more enjoy techniques that have soothing music with breathing or the sound of the ocean.
Reflection on my Level of Wellness
Based on my reflection and on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate myself as the following:
Physical wellbeing - I would rate myself as a 7, although I do try to exercise at least 3 days a week I would like to get to the point where I am consistent. I enjoy exercising and it always leaves me feeling refreshed and filled with energy.
Spiritual wellbeing - My spirituality is not where I would like it to be and I rate it as a 5. I need to be able to get where I feel that inner peace and connection with God. Being able to be spiritually in tune will help me to reach that level of wholeness.
Psychological wellbeing - My rating for psychological wellbeing is a 7. Once I can get to that place where I want to be in my physical and spiritual life, everything else will fall into place for me.
My goals for my physical wellbeing is to have a routine exercise program where I can at least get a 45 minutes workout 3 - 5 days a week. For my spiritual wellbeing I want to attend church more often and read books that will open my mind and spirit to reunite with my physical body by having a closer walk with God. My psychological goal is to have that awareness of calmness in my mind and body, and being able to make the change that will lead me to becoming a whole person physically, spiritually, and psychologically.

Journey to Relaxation
My journey to relaxation was very welcoming as I have had a hectic week. It felt good to just let myself go and relax. My mind took me to a far off place and my body was in deep relaxation with this meditative recording. Before I knew I had fallen into a deep sleep, and I woke up feeling refreshed and able to take on a new day. This is something I would listen to over again just to get that great feeling of relaxation.
