My Health Report Card

This is not something I would consider to be fun... I will try to be as honest in my assessment as possible.

Physical Wellbeing
- I would grade myself at a 2 or 3 in Physical Wellbeing. I have been obese since my daughter was born, and I used food to cope with a difficult couple of years my family has been through. I am also unfit, my daughter was born C-section and I haven't built up that core strength yet.
-My goal physically is to get down to a healthy weigh. I don't have a number, I am more interested in feeling healthy.
-To reach this goal I have hired a personal trainer and made a commitment to go to the gym 3-4 days per week. I change up my workouts often so I don't get bored. Also we are changing our diet in the household to more protein and fiber, less sugar and fat, and I'm trying go more organic.

Psychological Wellbeing
-I would grade myself at a 6 or 7 in psychological wellbeing. I am still healing from traumas and I still get triggered from outside sources, but I am aware of my triggers. I am able to feel my reactions and remain present... I hope that makes sense.
-My goal is to get to a place where I no longer get triggered. I want to forgive those who have traumatized me and be in charge of my own happiness rather than relying on others for it.
-I have been in therapy for two years and feel like I was a 1 when I went into therapy. Also I have a very supportive husband whom I can process things with. I have only recently began to meditate and look inward for solutions rather than blame my emotional states on my environment.

Spiritual Wellbeing
-I would grade myself right at a 5. I have a strong sense of faith that everything will be okay. However, I struggle with church and I find myself questioning why a lot. "Thy will be done" is a hard one for me. I question why when karma seems to be backwards. My faith is strong, but my spirituality isn't, if that makes sense.
-My goal would be to reconnect with God and the Earth, also to reconnect with my spiritual self.
-Honestly my spiritual wellbeing was closer to 10 two years ago and has been slipping and I don't have a plan to bring it back up. I guess that is where I have been interested in meditation. like I'm trying to reconnect with my spiritual self.


I feel like taking this class was a step in this process, also learning to meditate, getting out to the gym, changing my diet, and continuing therapy are also big steps. I have made a commitment to myself to become a healthier person within my body, mind, and spirit. The idea that the power to become healthy and happy lies within me rather than my environment has been very empowering.
