UNIT 10 - FINAL POST


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.
