Review your unit 3
personal assessment of your psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Reflect on these areas . How did you score yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 in
unit 3? How do you score yourself now? Has the score changed? Why or why not? Through the past 10 weeks I can honestly report that my scores have not
necessarily changed to a dramatic scale.. I sadly did not go from the number 1
to a number 10 in any of these categories. However, today I can proudly report
there have been changes. These changes have taken a conscious effort on my
behalf. I know report my scores as follows: 2/10 in spirituality, 4/10 in
physical wellness, 5/10 in psychological wellness. This is how I score myself
now. The scores did change, but I have a very long way to go. Review the goals
and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward
the goals? Explain.Psychological Goal: I feel
as if I have made the most effort and change in this category. I have made a
conscious effort to evaluate myself from the inside out. I have had more
self-realizations in the past nine weeks than I have had in a very long time. I
realize that physical pain has a profound impact on the mind and the body. If
you have had a chance to review weeks 9 blog posting I gave spoken to my
orthopedist and pathologist about meditation and relaxation exercises over the
past three weeks. I am happy to report that both are working for me and I plan
on keeping this up for months to come. Spirituality, well..this is going to
need some time and a whole lot of research. Have you implemented the activities you chose for your
well-being in each of the three areas? This is still a work in progress, but Rome was not built
overnight. Summarize your
personal experience throughout this course. Have you developed improved
well-being? What has been rewarding? What has been difficult? How will this
experience improve your ability to assist others? I believe that I have begun the first step into
fostering greater development into my life. I have begun to realize that my
life is in need of change and the change is not out of reach. In order for me
to integrate the concepts of integral health into my life I first had to
realize what my life was missing. I am a firm believer that you cannot fix a
potential problem if you do not understand what the problem is. I realize that
my problems in life were veiled by the stress of everyday life. I understand
that I have to make the changes in my life. I would like to remain consistent
in the practices that I have learned in the past weeks in order to foster
growth in my life.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you have identified the changes that need to be made in your life for growth toward integral health. Please share what practice you have learned about and are doing for promoting better health and spirituality. Today I had to go for a medical procedure, that I was anxious about, many the sedation part. Before I left this morning I practice one of the contemplative exercises from class, a journey for healing with imagery, and I felt more calm, relaxed, and faithful for my test.
I hope you find your path, and do not forger your journel.
Be Happy and Whold,
Judy

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you were able to make changes on the three areas listed. I was also able to to make changes. I think that reaching my goals were a bit difficult but with a focused mind I was able to achieve them. I hope you do well next term and keep using what we've learned this term in your daily life.
Hi Sarah
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work and keep your chin up. This growing process is a chalenge for me also but that will make the end goal that much sweeter. Just remember that we can be intentional. We do not have to be slaves to our past. That cannot be changed but the future can. Good luck in all of your future adventures.
