As a nurse, holistic health and well-being is a critical element of my daily interactions and activities. Holistic health refers to the physical, spiritual, cultural, social, and psychological aspects and needs of the patient and care provider. Thus, holistic health encompasses every aspect of human life.

Unit 3 Rainbow Relaxation Exercise
Today I took a journey through my mind that utilized color to elicit relaxtion and energy. By focusing on the 7 different colors of the rainbow, the exercise utilized the vibrance of each color to create relaxing and rejuvenating images. The initial color, red, was used as a tool to ground my body and establish roots for the exercise. This segment of the exercise was not overly difficult but created issues for the further elements. Because I was so focused on setting my feet in the ground with red, the vibrance of that color clouded my thoughts for orange. In addition, although I was trying to focus my thoughts on the color itself, pictures of people and loved ones were all that surrounded my thoughts with the different colors. Thus, this exercise elicited joy, energy, and relaxation from me but not in the intended ways it was established to do so.
