1) I would rate my physical wellness to be around a 5. I've had a lot of issues this pregnancy, and I spend most days just wanting to lounge and sleep because I don't have the energy to devote to anything else, and I have to take care of my two year old by myself most weekdays. I find myself occasionally wishing I could get my midwife to just admit me to the hospital for this last 12 weeks so I could get some rest and (mostly) uninterrupted me time. Despite this, I would rate both my spiritual and mental wellness to be closer to an 8. Yes, the constant illness and pain wear, but I'm usually able to look forward and know I'm already doing the best I can, and it's not permanent.
2) My goals for all three areas of focus would be to just hang in there a little longer. Remember the rewards at the end of the journey, take my meds on schedule to help with the symptoms, and remember that it's ok to take time for myself in between the demands of daily life.
3) I need to go back to taking naps when my son takes his, asking my husband to help out where he can, and just taking a deep breath when things start to get to be too much. This too shall pass.
4) For whatever reason, I always forget that I have trouble doing these meditation exercises. Primarily because I typically use such exercises to fight insomnia, I usually find myself falling asleep. This time, I didn't even realize it, but I fell asleep in the first few minutes and missed the rest of the exercise lol.
