Hello to all again! Hope you are enjoying my profile and my thoughts. In this unit I was suppose to reflect on my own wellness-spiritual, physical and psychological. Physically I am fit, when the weather was nice I was running 4 miles a day, 4 times a week, but now that its not so nice out I try to get to the gym, attending Zumba classes as of now which are a lot of fun! Now I am suppose to rate from 1-10 my physical wellness, I'd say its a 7. I know I could probably do more physically, but with the winter slump, I don't feel like it as of now. Spiritually I rate my numbers at a 8, I am not a 10 because I am not perfect, but I indeed have spirituality in my life, I am a big believer and I have hope in my everyday life. Last, psychologically I am a 9, I do have self-control, I realize when I need to stop and relax my brain, I try to keep my mind blank when I am able just to give it time to come back to center and unload.
During the winter months, once there is more snow I am hoping to try a few outdoor activities to keep me going physically. I would like to try skiing, never have done that before, also I would like to try cross-country skiing, if your not familiar you wear snow boots that have a tennis racket looking surface that go around your foot, and you walk in them. These are ways during the cold months to improve my physical wellness. Psychologically I feel maybe that I could start some exercises with my brain, such as buying a wellness CD or DVD and meditate. Last spiritually I feel that I improve everyday, I know I could do more devotion to what I believe in, but I do use prayer everyday which makes me feel stronger and more at peace. I feel to reach these goals, I need to first off keep eating the right foods, keep my body slim, because with that, that will keep me more energized and ready to move on to the next thing.
Listening to the relaxation exercise was very interesting, never heard that type of technique before by comparing your body parts to the colors of the rainbow. I found the exercise to be somewhat beneficial, it did relax my body-with each body part it was not only a color but the body parts and colors had meaning and direction in our life. The exercise brought me to center in realizing what the most important fundamentals are during life.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, New years to everyone!

Unit 2: Welcome! Reflection/Exercise
Hello Classmates and Professor! Welcome!!
As you know my name is Nicole Anderson, it was a little difficult for me to figure out this whole blog thing since I have never done it before, so this is new for me! As you see the picture, that is of me and my boyfriend one year ago, my hair is shorter now but I did like it the length that is shown. My boyfriend, Tarrence is very important to me, that is why I decided to place him in my picture!
Some reflection to start off with my welcoming-I wanted to state that I am very proud and happy that I am part of something like this, that I am going to school getting an education to improve my finances and to improve my quality of life. As health and wellness is so important in everyone's lives, and especially in mine, the format in the textbooks and just to be in this class is very interesting and inviting; I hope this for you as well classmates! Thank you professor for having me.
The relaxation exercise was very surprising for me because it really worked. This type of meditation of relaxation really worked for me, some do not, so usually my pass time for relaxation is closing my eyes and focusing on a single object. I really enjoyed listening to the male narrator, he not only gave great informative information about what your internal body is actually doing during exercise, but his voice was nice and calm which did illiterate the relaxation even more. For those of you who have not done it yet, I suggest trying it, I think you will really enjoy it, I do feel more rejuvenated.
