Hello fellow bloggers,
I enjoyed this exercise because it gave me a chance to review each aspect of my life. Starting with my physical well being. I rate my physical well being a 9. I have always been athletic and strive to keep that going. I currently walk 3 to 5 miles a day and perform strength traing 3 times a week. I am under my BMI and my waist measurement is well below 35 inches. My blood pressure and cholesterol is normal and I not currently taking any medications. I am a non-tobacco user and rarely drink alcohol.
My Spritual Well Being I rate as 6 right now. I use meditation as a way to try and connect more to my spiritual side. I have not being able to take the time to use all the resources to help increase this aspect of my wellness but I am hoping to start to improve this.
My Psychological well being I rate as a 8. I feel I am able to handle my stress level really well for the most part. I take time out to enjoy reading, listening to music and time for recreation as well as personal time which I call "me time" I use this to unwind and replenish my mind.
Three goals one for each area.
Physical Well being: Add flexibility training into my exercise schedule 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes.
Spiritual Well being: Incoporate time for mental reflection of my inner core through relaxation techniques such as meditation and yoga.
Psychological: Improve my memory by increasing my time for reading for enjoyment to 45 minutes a day.
The Crime of the Century exercise was frustrating for me because I would much prefer just reflective time of quiet. I had to do the exercise a couple of times to get to the point where I could relax my mind enough to get into the exercise.

Journey On
Hello to all!
I finished the journey on exercise and while it took me a minute to get my mind to release all other thoughts I finally got there. It was a great way to ease some tension and release some stress. I actually found my energy renewed and I was able to get many things I have been putting off done. I am actually getting ready for a job interview and I am thinking the positive energy flowing through me now will make for a great opportunity. The other great thing about this exercise is that I am cold natured and having that extra blood flow go to my extremities was the perfect touch to this cold and rainy day in England.
I was surprised I was able to get into this exercise I usually perfer to just turn the lights down and light some candles and just meditatate with a nice piece of instrumental music and only my thoughts. I will be giving this relaxation technique method more of chance now. Amazingly I didn't find the guy's voice to annoying and it lasted just the right length of time. If you haven't got a chance to do it yet, I recommend doing it first thing in the morning or right before bedtime and hopefully you will get the same or better results than I did. Well I hope everyone day is going well and here is to many more successful blogs
Cheers
Deb

Reflective Statement
As I take a journey down the road of my life there are experiences that I wish I had a do-over but then again those oops in life is what make us what we are today. I have spent my life travelling the world, having lived over seas for 16 years and now I find my self back again for at least another three years.
My mother past away last year and often find myself thinking that I wished I was home more. Than I think of the opportunity my mom had because I lived in various locations. I can remember her smiling as she got of the plane in Tokoyo Japan and her joy of being in another country. As we travelled and immersed in the culture she had great memories, pictures and souveniers of her time abroad. during the years she also got to vist Germany, Paris and Italy. The look of peace on her face after visiting the
Notre Dame cathedral is a pricless memory that I will always have.
