Unit 3 Blog Post:

1. 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?

          a. Physical well being, I give it a 7.5, it could be better, especially if I were more active.

          b. Spiritual well being, I give this a 9.0, which considering the past two years is remarkable with all of the things that have gone wrong.

          c. Psychological well being, I give this a 8.5, there are times that I see the doubts hanging around the peripheral of my life, but then I focus all my thoughts on the positives, on the things going right in my life, going to Kaplan first and foremost.

      2.  Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).

          a. To get more exercise is the one thing I can do to help both my body and mind.

          b. To attend church regularly, I have started to do this as I write this, performing with the church choir is a tremendous help to me.

          c. Psychological, to take things in their proper perspectives, to not allow myself to feel I am a "victim", to stand up and take control of my future, not let others dictate what I am capable of.

     3. What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?

          a. Getting enough physical exercise, reading the Bible, attending Church, singing in the choir, taking time to achieve a "quieting of the mind", these things will all help achieve my goals.

1. Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise, click here. Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)

          a.  Myself I did not get much out of it, it seemed just breathing exercises to help you relax your body, which I do in similar ways as I get ready to go to sleep, and yes this technique does seem to help.  

Dealing with the stress

Hi Stacia, dealing with stress seems to have become a way of life for me, just trying to calmly deal with a new complication daily has become routine.  I now try my hardest to not let them get me too upset or get to me, as I am slowly but surely becoming much better at finding the answers to the problems they entail.

My first posting of this term, Unit 1

Hi fellow classmates, I was able to find my old blog from a prior class thank goodness, hope you all find it easy to make one.  Its not too bad to do once you get it done, though I find it kind of difficult to believe that anyone would follow my thoughts as I write them down.

One Step Closer:

I am just glad that I passed both of my classes this term.  I just wish I had the funds to take more as I really need to graduate as soon as possible.  I hope to see some of you in future classes, good luck to all of you.  And one final "Thank you" to Prof Nancy whom I will really miss as she took the time and had the patience to walk me through some steps in how to use Word 2010 which will really come in handy in future classes.  I feel much more confident now, especially after being away from a classroom for over 25 years, and almost 35 years since High School. :)

A Really Old Guys Blog: Looking into the future

A Really Old Guys Blog: It is almost sad that I for one have just gotten the hang of this Blogging I think, and now it is time to end the class. I sure hope circumstances let me continue on with my schooling as this is my best path to a brighter future. I am by no means a perfect writer, and never will be, but I am trying my best to produce a good paper. All thanks are due to Nancy, a Professor I will assuredly miss.

Help I got this week.

I have really gotten a lot of help this week from the Prof.  Revising my peers paragraphs was fun though I hope I did not lead them astray.
