Rating of my optimal health is an exercise where we were suppose to rate our spiritual, physical and psychological well being. For my physical well being I gave myself a 5. I am not at the peak of health that I would love to be, but I am taking steps to reach this goal. For me it's about staying focused and positive and I do this by having a support group. My spiritual well being I rated at a 7. My relationship with the man upstairs is great. I am aware of my many blessing that he has given me and I always ask him to continue to watch over me and guide my every step. I continue to strive for that ten by always giving praise and following the path that he has planned out for me. My psychological health I rated at an 8. I am not perfect and neither is anyone else. We make mistakes at times, we get down on ourselves at times and question choices that we make. To be in great mental health means always being aware, taking responsibility and striving to be the Best you.

I enjoyed this weeks relaxation exercise a lot. By opening up and relating the different colors of a rainbow to the different parts of my body gave a sense of feeling whole which was the "whole" point of the exercise. When we got to the region around our chest and heart area, the color of green as I was taking a deep breath I felt the love down in my fingertips. The aqua blue color as we got to our throat region had me imagining the ocean and vast waves and water. With those thoughts came validation of self worth and the fact that I can give and receive love. My favorite color came at the crown of our heads and that was the color of violet. By this point I was feeling whole and understood what it meant to feel grounded, surrounded by white light and love. I enjoyed this very much and feel it is something you can do on a regular basis to keep your mind still and at peace.
