Looking at my own well-being is something that is pretty familiar. I try to be very aware of taking a personal inventory on a regular basis. When I am feeling out of balance I usually can notice right away so this assessment was pretty comfortable for me and somewhat enjoyable as I was looking at each category individually.
Physical- I would give myself a 7, I workout regularly and generally feel pretty good. However, being a night timer, there are days when I feel like a zombie. A goal that I would like to set for myself would be to focus on the importance of getting adequate rest. One way that perhaps I could achieve this is by establishing a bed time ritual. I go to bed most days around 730am, if I could make a practice of using a combination of aroma therapy, relaxing background noise or music, and ensuring no interruptions during my sleeping period.
Spiritual- I give myself a 8. I meditate daily, study, and place much importance on a daily basis on my spiritual well-being. A goal of mine would be to participate in more group activities with those who share my same belief and value system. One way that I could do this is by attending a local buddhist mediation circle on the nights that I am not working.
Psychological- I would score myself a 9. My partner is a Marraige and Family Therapist, and some days it can be frustrating to share my life with someone who is always so in tune with the wellness of others. Some days it is a great asset that I can come home and get an intelligent perspective on any issue I may be facing. My goal would be to journal more, it has been suggested to me many times, and it does help me clear my head.
The Crime of the Century Exercise-
This was pretty much a chakra meditation. It was very clear and easy to follow. It was enjoyable, however I did fall asleep which was also very beneficial for me since I had to go to work later that night.
