Unit 3 Post

Now these are some deep questions of which the answers for me would be more or less on a sliding scale depending on the day and the weather it seems.  So, let me start off with this on how I rate my physical.  Today, it would be at an overall 6, I feel ok, but I am noticing some relapses for a couple of surgeries I underwent a couple of years back as pain and other symptoms are now beginning to recur.  Spiritual, I would currently say a solid 9 as I am steadying myself for retirement and have high hopes for a better future.  Psychological, I would say, 7; though I am extremely concerned with the physical issues resurfacing, I feel as though I will once again overcome them as I have previously and hopeful I don’t have to repeat the same recoveries as I did before.

For my goals, I intend to keep up with the integral forms of physical therapies and am hopeful to keep my pain in a manageable state.  Additionally, I intend to not only reestablish but to maintain a strong emotional connection with my wife and family post retirement and graduation.  Hopefully, by shedding the stress and pressure of my current occupation and enter into civilian life with a third degree, I feel comfortable gaining long term, agreeable employment and rebuild a social network both with family and friends the years of service have severed. 

So, after listening to the audio recording, I became very agitated.  I wanted to relax, but the more I tried, the more the rest of my life invaded like a massive sea swelling over me and keeping me from releasing and letting go.  If, I was able to actually connect with the recording fully, I feel as though it would have been beneficial, but in my current state which is extremely hectic as well as medication induced, I find it almost painful to relax with the exercise.

Thank you for reading my post.
