I would rate my physical wellbeing
as a 4. I am not in the shape I would like to be in. I am overweight and have
been since my son was born. I have been working on it but not hard enough. I quit smoking, quit drinking soda and have
started working out. In another few months I think my evaluation will change. I
think my spiritual wellbeing and psychological wellbeing are around a 1. I have
little faith and major panic attacks. I need to work on those areas before I
can move on. I think for all three I can
do yoga to get into better shape and to reflect on where I am lacking to help
me gain an understanding. I can also choose to talk to a professional to get
back on track spiritually and psychologically.
The relaxation exercises do not
work for me . I have a hard time focusing and concentrating. I usually get
frustrated and start it over a few times then I finally give up. I think it I
could clear my mind and not be so anxious all the time they would help me
greatly. I have heard wonderful things about them. It is a shame.
It sounds like you are on your way to improving your physical well-being. Like you said yoga can help you in more than one way, I think it can actually help in all three areas. Yoga is a great tool to share with our clients because of its many benefits. I felt the same way about this weeks relaxation exercise, it was way hard for me to follow along with and I finally just ended up listening to it to the end but not doing the exercise. I agree that maybe talking to a professional about your panic attacks is a good idea (as long as you do not go to someone that just wants to give you a pill and not help you really solve the problem). I think it is important as a health professional to be able to recognize when we need to refer our clients out to other professionals.
