At one with the world? Maybe...

To have more you need to become more, is something my mentor has said many times and I am not just speaking of material things here, I am speaking also of the physical, psychological and spiritual. I have always tried to attain the highest level in all I do. So when reflecting on those areas in my life this is what I see. In the physical I would rate myself a 9, I can always improve I also believe that since I am a personal trainer, I need to walk the talk. I walk every morning and workout early with my husband to get in a full workout to start my day and I try to end the day with yoga or tai chi and meditation. I believe I am in the best physical shape in my life. My nutrition is excellent, following a clean eating and carb cycling lifestyle. My psychological well-being, I would rate at an 8. I follow certain body work practices that lend to my psychological as well as my physical fitness. I have a set appointment with the following each month that helps with my mental fitness. Chiropractor, massage therapist, acupuncturist, yogini or tai chi master. I incorporate all of these disciplines to create a sense of well-being in my life and to improve my energy level. My doctor being holistic in nature holds me to these practices. I have been utilizing these practices for the past seven years and they have made a world of difference in all areas of my life. As far as my spiritual, I rate myself at a 7. To me my spirituality is who I am, its learning who I am and who I want to be. It is my connection between me and all those in my life. My passion to help all people keeps me balanced and on track. I believe in keeping a positive and open mind.

My goals in these areas are simple but will help to create a more focused person. In my physical well-being my goal is to train and complete my first triathlon and to tighten my nutrition to better utilize the foods I eat as I train. In my psychological well-being my goal is to take my yoga to a whole new level not only in the physical but also to reach a peaceful place within it. In my spiritual well-being I would like to incorporate some type of community service program to help other people in the areas I excel in. Which is where I would like to end up permanently; helping to transform other people and their lives for the better. 

Activities that I would implement into my life to better assist me with my goals would be to keep myself on a routine adhering to a stricter schedule, to make better use of my time for my physical and psychological goals, I tend to lose track of time when I am working with clients, they fuel my passions. As for my spiritual activities I would love to start journaling and read more books.

This exercise, "The Crime of the Century," reminds me of the seven chakras, the energy centers of the body, each chakra represents a different emotional outlet for our energy. This exercise made me feel more awake and happy and it also relieved my headache. I love this exercise and will perform it again. It was very beneficial.
