- 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 ratings were much higher a year ago when I was such a positive person about everything in life. But, once I read the book "The Disappearance of the Universe", I became depressed.. not caring about much in life. I think the book is supposed to have the opposite effect but for me, I took it very hard knowing that all we need to do in life is wake up because none of this is real.
So,
Physical wellbeing: Normally a 7 or 8 but since I'm pregnant, I don't feel as good as normal. So, currently it's a 5 or 6.
Spiritual well being at the moment is not good. Maybe 3.
Psychological well being: 4
- Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).
Of course my goal for these would be to raise 2-3 points. I stopped doing as much meditation as I was doing last year and I think this has greatly affected my outlook on life.
- What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
Read more, exercise more, meditate more, eat more raw foods, maintain a garden, read to my children, make a list of what I'm thankful for..
- Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise, click here. Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)
I liked the relaxation exercise. I recognized it as a chakra clearing exercise which I usually find very helpful.
Well first of all congratulation on your pregnancy! I know that being pregnant can definitely be a psychical roller coaster, let alone all of the hormones. The fact that you are aware of these changes is really great because it makes it easier to deal with them, and you know they are just temporary. I am sorry that reading that book made you feel so bad. It often is more than disconcerting when thinking of whole small we are in the universe. There is another way to look at it though, if you accept we are in fact a reality then every action you take connects with people throughout the world, as well. The concept of “paying it forward” can link all people throughout the world in a positive light, I hope that you feel better and wish you the best of luck in your pregnancy
