Unit 4

1.Describe your experience. Did you find it beneficial? Difficult? Why or why not? Would you recommend this to others? Why or why not? This exercise really made me feel like I took on my loved one's burdin. While relaxing and practicing my breathing techniques, I was able to take in their suffering and really feel as if I was in their shoes and helping them through their issues. I really found this beneficial and helpful, because iit made you think about other people and their feelings instead of just yours. Because of this I would recommend that everyone thy this exercise atleast once in their life time. 2.What is the concept of "mental workout"? What does the research indicate are the proven benefits of a mental workout? How can you implement mental workouts to foster your psychological health? I believe that the concept of "mental workout" is to help us relax our mind and to make it easier to take in and remember information. Our minds and mental state is always so overwelmed with the stress of everyday life and the loads of information we take in on a daily basis. Research shows that mental workouts help releave stress and relaxes our mental wellness. With this, your not so overwelmed and tired, and your able to help others while helping yourself.

Unit 3

1.Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why? My physical well-being is a 6, the military keeps me in shape but injured at the same time. My spiritual well-being is a 8, my spiritual aspect in life is great, it's what keeps me going throughout my days. My psychological well-being is a 6, my psychological aspect isn't to great. The military mentally ehausted me. 2.Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological). My physical goal is to fix all injuries and get back to my training. My spirituals goals are strong, but there's always room for improvement. My psychological goals are being worked on as we speak. I'm getting help from the military and my church to correct this.

Exercise 2

The journey on relaxation exercise was a bit to relaxing. It put me to sleep like four times, but it also helped me relieve my stress and help with my breathing. When it was time for me to lift my arms, they felt warm and heavy just like he said.
