Where I'm at Now

Things have moved right along during this term.  At times it felt like I saw steady improvements, other times it felt more like I was stuck in the mud.  In the beginning I rated myself as an 8 physically.  The main area of improvement I needed to make was in the nutrition department.  I have really started to make a strong effort to eat cleaner since I made a written goal.  I have become more aware of the stuff I put in my body and will continue to improve my eating habits.  I would maybe move my score up to 8.5.  Spiritually I rated myself a 5.  I have also made improvements in this area.  This is another case of when I put it down in writing, it made me realize and conscious of the improvements I needed to make.  I have indeed made more quiet time for reflection on spiritual matters and have increased my study time with the Bible.  My new evaluation would be a 6.5.  Psychologically speaking, I had given myself a score of 7.  I do not have many problems in this area that are not related to being very busy and not taking time for mental relaxation.  Lately this has improved somewhat.  I have not been doing the exercises as much as I should, but I have taken more down time to clear my head.  My score would again be raised a half a point, to 7.5.  Overall, this course has been a positive experience.  Never before have I paid much attention to these issues of mental and spiritual wellbeing.  The awareness is the biggest thing to me.  Now that I know what to look for, I will make it a point to take the steps to improve my wellness.
