Rating my well being

Hello everyone,

Rating my well being on a scale of 1-10 I would rate my physical well being as a 6, spiritual as a 8, and psychosocial as a 7.  I would rate myself this way because physically I am out of shape and could really use an upgrade, spiritually I am happy with my beliefs.  I am not very fond of organized religion so I do not attend church.  Psychosocially I feel I in a pretty good state in my life that I am content.  All of the areas could use work, especially since this is a whole new life style.
I guess my goal would be to be at a 10 in all areas.  I doubt I will ever acheive that but I could always continue trying.  Regular exercise, I could try attending church again but I doubt that I will be happy with it.  I could also try to be kinder to others, this will allow me to be happier with myself.

The meditation we were assigned to listen to had way to much going on in it for me.  There were no times to take a moment when the guy said to. It drove me nuts.  He spoke way to much and allowed no time to reflect on what he was telling us to do.   I think I prefer the meditations that let you take your time with them and gives the beginner time to process the entire meditation.

Unit 2 blog

Hello everyone,

My name is Mindy.  This is my first blog so I am nervous and not exactly sure what to do.  I welcome all of your comments.  Hopefully, I will make my posting clear enough for everyone to understand but if I drift or am unclear please just let me know and I will do my best to clarify. 

I have done some self meditation in the past but never anything that was thought out or structured.  This meditation seems like it would work after several tries, but the first time I tried it I didn't feel a thing.  I was kind of disappointed that I couldn't control it like it wanted me to, I got a little frustrated after a bit.  The smooth tone in the vocals makes it pleasant to listen to.  I believe that a simpler meditation would have been easier for me.  I suppose I am looking for something with less talking and more time to be with my thoughts. 

Thank you,
Mindy
