Crime of the Century

1) A: I would put myself at a nine out of ten for my physical well-being. I chose this number because I have always been eating a healthy diet and exercising everyday. I am a professional athlete so if I were down near a six on my scale I would have some real work to do!

B: I would rank myself lower on the same scale for my spiritual well-being, maybe at a six. I do not really know what to think about religion, I have always thought it was bad that I do not go to church when I believe in a higher power. But to me, I sometimes think that god is not a man nor one man.

C: Because of my doubts about people's true beliefs and my susceptibility to being very gullible, I would rank my psychological well-being at an eight. I am strong in most situations, but not all. I think eight would be a fair number for me.

2)  My current physical goals are tough. I like to train my body a lot, most of the time I overdo it. My current strength goal is to bench press my body weight 8 times. I just set a personal goal for endurance, which was a 5 or lower minute mile. This goal will be really tough to beat, but I am confident. My spiritual goals do not exist, so I will start by attempting to find the face to my "higher power". I think that is really important, especially for optimal well-being and a sense of wholeness. My psychological goals include, maintaining my steady practicing of visualization and imagery. I use these before my races a lot and believe that they work very well. I also am trying to have a positive attitude no matter what. To me, these goals are tough, but rewarding which is what they should be in my eyes.

3) For each of these goals, being at the bicycle track will be a big step. I believe that being around good people reflects in your attitude, and I love to train by doing hard laps all day. I will need to be eating correctly and hitting the weight room a few times a week. Pretty much nothing will change, except I will be trying to find the face of the "higher powers" that I seek. Maybe the face is not important, it is the thoughts, beliefs, etc. I guess I will know when I get there.

4) I loved the relaxation exercise "The Crime of the Century". It helped me relax and after it I had a great workout which I felt full of energy in throughout the whole time. After that I got done some schoolwork and my thought process was just clearer than ever. The words were just flowing onto the paper and I actually had a lot of fun learning. I think it was definitely worth the time, but it took a while for me to start feeling relaxed. So maybe a little frustrating at first.

Reflective Post

As you calm down and think about your fears and dreams

You see in every one, one common thing

You see yourself, conquering your life,

Making it what you want it to be, 

But then what.

You fall down, get hurt, racing is over for the season

Your love is gone, but only temporarily

She will be back, eventually

But what to do until then?

Every time we fall, we have a choice

We can get up, brush the dust off of our shoulders

Or we can lay there, act like the pain will be there for days,

When you know it lasts years.

 

I,

I choose to get up

Until I know I am finished

I will try, I will push my limits

I will grow, stronger, faster, quicker.
