If I were to reflect on my physical well being I would rate where I am a 8. Physically I am healthy and in shape. While I do not eat very well, all my "numbers" when I get my yearly physical done are well within range and sometimes even below. In the future I do need to start working out a little bit more as I age. This will keep me in good physical condition so my body ages well. I should start by taking my dog Pacha for nightly brisk walks. This will benefit the both of us.
Spiritually I would give myself a 4. I do not at this time feel an inner peace and contentment with myself. I have too much going on in my life to feel that peace and calm spiritually. I need to work on eliminating the issues that keep me from feeling that peace and takes away my calmness. I do not feel that I am spiritually connected to anyone or anything.
Psychologically I would rate myself at an 8. I am typically a very happy person. I guess I am one of those people who you hate because they are always smiling. I try to find laughter in most things and work to be happy no matter what. Of course there are those things in life that drag you down but it is a matter of fighting those and trying to overcome them. A goal I could set for myself would be to try even harder to not let things stress me out. My life's situation now is stressing me out from so many different angels so I need to work on narrowing them down and working on each one at a time. I usually try to go canoeing and enjoy the peace and calm surroundings.
I did the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century a little bit ago. Ok so I have decided it is probably not best to do this later in the day when my ADD medication has worn off! I just could not focus on the man's voice. I would try so hard but then I would see something out of the corner of my eye and I would focus on that, then move to something else, and come back to the man's voice missing most of what he had said. Oh well, at least I learned my lesson! :)
After reading your post I feel like I could have written the same words! Isn't it hard to feel peace and calmness when life is hectic? Spiritually my life feels similar to what you are describing! Hopefully this class will help us, right? Good luck and than you for sharing!
