On the scale of 1-10 (10 being optimal wellbeing) I rate my physical wellbeing a 6 because I'm not in the best shape, but I'm young. I rate my spiritual wellbeing a 3. I don't consider myself very spiritual, but I do believe in some spiritual related things. I rate my psychological wellbeing to be 5, yes 5. Sometimes I have thoughts that I know I shouldn't be having, but I have no idea why. I just figure 5 is a good spot until I have more information about my psychological wellbeing.
I'm sure what kind of goals there are to set for my physical, spiritual, and psychological wellbeing, except for to achieve optimal well being. To improve my physical wellbeing I plan to try not to stress or worry about things as much, eat healthier, and exercise more. To improve my spiritual well being (which I have been intending to do anyway) I plan to go to church regularly, to learn about God. Try to have more faith. To improve my psychological wellbeing, I want to control my thoughts and feelings. Immediately stop thinking bad thoughts, and I want to immediately calm myself down and become cheerful instead of angry.
During the relaxation exercise, it was very hard for me to relax for 20min, listen to "the voice", and not get very sleepy. So, I had to break this exercise down into increments of 5min, which I think may have been less effective. It was beneficial though. The part that I liked the most was the part where we were instructed to say something positive to anyone we wanted to and ourselves. Was a good exercise but kind of frustrating for me to do. Was only 20min its hard for me to spend 20min doing something I'm not too interested in. Especially in the noisy environment I love in.

-{-{ 2012 }-}-
Hi everybody. I watched this documentary called "After Armageddon" yesterday (which I recommend everybody watch, its was very interesting) and it got me to thinking about the events that have been predicted to happen in 2012. I know that most religious people believe that nobody knows what will happen, and some even claim that it doesn't matter to them, because they are "saved". Well, reality check! Just like nobody knows what will happen, nobody knows who is "saved". I consider myself a religious person. That being said, I don't know what will happen in 2010, BUT I still don't want to die! So, I figured it's best to be prepared. So, I was wondering what my classmates thoughts were on the subject.
1) What do you think will happen (not know, think)? Will mankind come to an end or will most of us just be wiped out, along with some of our vital resources (water, medicine, communication, gas, etc) because of a world wide catastrophe.
2) How will the people who think the world is ending will behave? Will they try to save their soul and run the church, will they act normally and just wait it out, or will the flip out and react violently?
3) If it was just a world wide catastrophe and most of mankind was wiped out with little resources remaining, what would be vital for survival? How would some survivors behave with no authority around? Would it be survival of the fittest? Do you think your in a good position to survive right now, or would/should you relocate? What do you think would be the most difficult obstacle to over come?
Hope to get alot of fun comments and thoughts on this one!!

Relaxation Exercise: Unit 2
While listening to "the voice", surprisingly, it did feel like I could control the flow of my blood just by thinking about it. I also noticed that whatever "the voice" said I would feel, I felt, almost immediately. And before instructing us to try to raise our hands he said that we wouldn't be able to because we wouldn't want to. This would make us think that way before we even tried. It like thinking you're going to fail at something before you try it, and thinking that way will, in most situations, produce that outcome. So, I just wish he hadn't have said things like that. But it was fun and relaxing. I think I may edit it and have my fiance try it.
Welcome Everybody
