Unit 3

Hi everyone,  Can you believe it, it's time for unit 3 already.. wow how time flies.  Rating myself for optimal well-being overall I would say I am a solid 8.5:)  Physically, I think I am a little better than that, like a 9 to 9.5.  I exercise almost everyday and am a pretty fit person.  Physiologically,  I would say for the most part I rate myself  around a 9.0 I usually can handle stress very well and feel mostly good about myself, now spiritually is where I probably rate myself the lowest I'm not sure why but I think that I would rate myself around a 7.5 at best.  I don't really consider myself a spiritual person although at times I guess I might be. 
My goal to improve myself physically would be to add some more strength training into my workout plan.  I think it's a really good idea so my bones stay strong.  Physiologically, I would want to become more patient with my kids using positive outlets.
Spiritually, I'm not sure I can really improve on this, because it's not really a concern for me.  I do enjoy doing yoga and doing progressive relaxation and that keeps me really centered and to some degree it feels like a spiritual experience.
I would like to start using our weights downstairs in my basement  more often, I also like using the medicine ball to stretch and relax with breath.  Sometimes I listen to music  but not all the time.  I think using the music from this class is a great way to start with meditation, and it makes it nice to de- stress.
I like the music that was played and the fact that he was really focusing on the diaphragmatic breathing.  The rainbow meditation was interesting I like how the different colors were specific to areas of the body.  I also liked that it focused on  being grounded.  I guess the part that was a little annoying is that he wanted me to repeat some of the sayings... Like "I feel Grounded", or "I feel Centered." once I got used to it though it was not annoying anymore:)  Sometimes you just have to let things go and give them a chance you might just find out that you really like it.

Hi everyone, This is my first time really blogging so hope it works out. I found this quote on Facebook by Positive Inspirational Quotes (PIQ) "Remember to move forward and stop looking back, otherwise the good things will pass you by!" Our exercise was to listen to the relaxation link and I did. It was so relaxing that I actually had to listen to it 3 times because I fell asleep twice. I was so relaxed it really felt almost out of body. I am finding I really like to listen to these meditation MP3's. I also like the quote by Audry Hepburn that said "for beautiful eyes look for the good in others, for beautiful lips speak only words of kindness, for poise walk with the knowledge you are never alone." With that I leave you all and look forward to blogging with you.
 Thanks, Rachel
