Hello Professor,
“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?”
In Unit 3 I rated myself pretty
well, 9-Physical, 8-Spiritual, 7/8-Psycological. Looking back on those scores
now, I would have to say that I was a little too ambiguous maybe when referring
to spiritual and psychological. Thinking about it again now I would have to say
that I am a 7- Spiritually, and Psychologically. This is because now I know
what to do and what to look for, I still sometimes get caught in a stressful
environment and act off of emotion instead of thinking and acting clearly,
however I am working on it and getting steadily better with it. I have noticed
that when I have a clear head my day is worlds better than when I’m stressed
out. Visualizing loving kindness is much more effective spiritually now then
when I previously did it, when you really concentrate on those specific
feelings its amazing how you feel during and afterwards. I would have to say
that my score changed because I began to have a better understanding of the
exercises and techniques and how to perform them correctly really noticing how
I feel.
“Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have
you made progress toward the goals? Explain.”
I have made significant progress
with my physical goal, I do cardio multiple times a week, and not to mention my
daily nutrition is so much better than it was. As for Spiritually, I have been
meditating a little more than before, but not as much as I would like, so I
still have to work a little harder for that. Lastly Psychologically, is one of
the harder goals to complete, I am doing better with not letting certain stress
waves get me, but I still occasionally find myself drowning in it. I have to
practice yoga and meditation more so that my mind is clear and ready to coast
over the stress and manage it effectively.
“Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in
each of the three areas? Explain.”
I have implemented all activities
for each area except for yoga, I am still in the process of making the time to
be able to attend a class. While yoga also helps with meditation, that is also
an area that I need to work on more in the mornings. Visualizing my days is
also an activity that I have to preform more readily, I find that when I
perform the visualization exercise before my day it tends to go a lot better consistently
than not.
“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?”
This class has been awesome; I love
learning ways to promote health and happiness. Integral health is definitely
that, I can’t wait to start being able to help my future clients not only
through nutrition and exercise biologically, but internally as well, food for
the mind so to speak. Realizing the feelings that come from the exercises is
rewarding, the difficulty is being able to truly clear your mind so that you
may perform the exercise the way it was intended. I will be able to assist
others during their path to well-being because I know what it takes to get
minimal results and how hard it is, and results speak louder than anything.
