Reflections during a busy holiday week

There's nothing better than a few relaxation exercises during a hectic holiday week! My strongest area of wellbeing would be physical. I'm generally healthy, eat pretty well, and I exercise regularly. If I had to assign a number I would give myself a 7. Still, I do need to make improvements. At one time I loved to run. I was quite competitive. I dedicated time to training. As I've gotten older, I've gotten lazier...or busier. My workout time is more sporadic and I find myself coming up with excuses. Also, although my diet is decent, I find myself eating things I wouldn't have touched a few years ago. I really want to work on these areas. I have a difficult time determining what is involved in spiritual health. During the warm months of the year I spend as much time outdoors as possible. I love to garden, hike, raft on the Delaware river, which is about 2 miles from where I live. I also camp, frequent the ocean, etc. I believe that this connection to nature gives me a spiritual level of 6. Still, I think that as humans, most of us need to feel a connection to God or other superior being. Although I "believe", this connection is where I fall short in my spiritual health. I feel a need to get back to church. I know that a church is just a place, but there is a sense of belonging there that I like. Under normal circumstances I would have rated my self at an 8 or 9 for psychological well being. However, I've had a few experiences over the last 13 months that have put me much lower. If I actually had to assign a number I'd say 3. What can I do about it? I'm not sure. I guess they say that time heals all wounds. I think that meditation can help, but I'm very new at it and not exactly sure what I'm doing. I enjoyed this week's relaxation exercise much more than ones we did previously. I have a hard time with visualization, but for some reason colors came easy to me. It's not easy for me to relax. After 10 minutes I find myself getting anxious to move onto something new. Definitely a problem because I realize how much I need to be still.
