For the Unit 3 blog, I am going to reflect on myself physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
Physically I feel that I am at the best level I have ever been at. I hit the weights 5 days a week, eat healthy and have kicked most of my bad habits. However, I will never give myself a rating of 10 because I think that none of us will ever be a 10. All we can do is keep striving for perfection. If any of us ever obtained it, then what would we do? The journey is the fun part.
Psychologically, I would give myself about a 6. However, that is much further than I was a few years ago. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan as an infantryman in the 101st Airborne Division and in 2008, started suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Fortunately, the years have been kind to me and have allowed me to come to grips with many things and begin feeling better every day.
Spiritually, I would like to think I am about a 7. I read my Bible daily, pray often and many times rely on my faith to help me through things. While none of us will ever all agree on the same religion, we can all agree that it is nice to have a religion to practice.
Hi Caleb!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you for your service to us! I could never do what you did over seas and I look up to you greatly for overcoming the consequences of your sacrifice. I hope you continue to heal well! I like what you said about striving for perfection. That is one of the principles or basis for integral health and it is fun to grow! : ) Like you said, thankfully we can continue to grow forever! I am also striving to work on my spirituality and I believe prayer and Bible reading are a huge part of that! Thank you for your post!
