Where I'm at

Things are going okay for me these days.  I will admit I hit a major wall Sunday night after Christmas and my health went down the tubes.  Just know getting back to where I need to be.  Other than this week, by physical wellbeing would be rated very high, probably an 8.  Working out is actually the only real hobby I have time for these days, and I love all aspects of training, so this part is a breeze for me.  Nutrition is a bit lacking, I can always improve the diet.   This would be where my physical goals would be centered, to maintain a cleaner diet. Spiritually speaking, I have been a bit lax lately.  I would rate myself around a 5.  Between hectic schedules and life getting in the way, I know I haven't been as attentive as I need to be.  I still attend all the worship services for the most part, but I need to set apart more quiet time for some interaction with Him.  Psychological wellbeing is good, probably a 7.  I am sure the stress of this time contributed to my sickness, but it has served as a wakeup call to be more aware and careful with this aspect.  Taking a relaxation break to clear the  head would be something to make a habit.. 
The relaxation exercise started off rocky.  I'm really stuffy, so the deep breathing sent me into a coughing fit.  After settling, I have to admit the exercise nearly put me to sleep.  I was just barely hanging on.  I did exit the exercise feeling quite refreshed.  As a side note; I had a chance to put last week's relaxation exercise to work while I was sick.  Laying on the couch with a fever I began to remember the exercise and went all over my body feeling each part get heavy and relaxed and then I pictured each breath I took blowing out the "sick germs."  It was a little goofy but it worked!  I think these exercises will be able to be adapted to a unique situation if needed.
