Unit 10 Final Post

I can't believe this is the last week of the class it is a bittersweet ending, I am sad because it has been such a great class but happy because it means one more term closer to my finish.
This week I am to talk about how I have changed over the past few week!
In unit 3 here is how I rated myself
This week is all about my well-being and how I rate myself, this is going to get interesting :)! I would rate my physical well-being as 5 because I have really slacked on my exercising the past few months and physically I feel gross lol! My Spiritual well-being I would rate a 3 I really need to change this and pronto. I don't know why I let it get to this point I just have not been very focused on myself for a really long time. My psychological well-being I would rate a 6. I know I could improve this and not let my stress get to me so much however the since I have moved back to Michigan I just have not been happy and I need to work on looking at things in a different way. 


How I rate myself now in week 10 My physical well being I now rate as a 7 I have started working out and feeling better about myself. I am still eating well as I always do, I also have finally went to to a wellness doctor and had a bunch of blood test done and I am finally on my way to getting all of  those issues taken care of and becoming as healthy as I can! 
My spiritual well being I would rate only a 4 I still need work a lot of work but I am getting there. I am starting Purpose Driven Life tonight. My psychological well being I would only rate at a 7 but it is improvement, I feel better about myself and seem to be happier than I was a few weeks ago and I hope to continue to grow in this area. 


I have made many goals and I have started working on all of them, I reached my first short term goal and that was to just start working on them and now my next short term goal is to start seeing difference. I think just the way I feel is motivation enough, I have even gotten my son involved  and he is starting to walk on the treadmill every day and we talk about how he is feeling about himself and what we can do to help things get better for him. He is a preteen boy without a male role model so I just need to make sure his self esteem stays in check and he doesn't fall into the I will just follow the crowed that accepts him because that is never a positive one.  


Overall this class has been awesome and I am so glad I had a chance to take it. I am a happier person now that I have learned to relax and and clear my mind. I realize nothing is that serious and if you can turn negative thoughts into positive ones life is really great!!! 

Unit 9 Final Project Creating Wellness

Hello class we have come to the end of our journey, well for this portion, I hope every one continues on this great path and we all continue to meet our goals and reach integral health. Here is my project about myself (it was hard writing all about me). Hope you all enjoy :)

It is important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically because if they do not have these skills developed than they won’t have the trust from their clients to help them. Going to see a practitioner for help would not be very comforting if they do not show the knowledge or skills themselves; if you do not have the trust of your clients you won’t be able to keep your clients. Also most are in this business because they truly care about people and want to help people and you cannot do that if you have not helped yourself. As a person wanting to work in a field of helping others means I need to develop myself and I need help in all areas psychologically, spiritually, and physically.

             In assessing myself spiritually I would give myself a five. I have really drifted away from this and need to definitely work on this. I do pray every day and not always needing guidance, but just to say thank you. I am not sure going to church every week is what I need or want however it couldn’t hurt. I am a firm believer that no matter if you go to church what is in your heart is in your heart and nothing will change that.

            Psychological I would asses myself at a seven, I know what a great person I am however my self-esteem could really do a lot of work. I can never look at myself and feel great I just see what is wrong and what I need to fix. The good thing is that the outside is the easy part to fix, but the inside needs the most work.

            Physically I asses myself at an 8 I eat a very nutritional diet and almost never eat the bad stuff. I cannot say never because well no one is perfect but I do pretty good at staying away. My exercising could use the most work. I love to exercise and feel so great when I do however I fall in these ruts to where it seem not finding the time to not do it is easier than setting time a side to do it.

            One Goal I have spiritually are to start with reading The Purpose Driven Life and make it through the 40 days without skipping or stopping it. I seem to start it and do so great the first week or two but then life gets busy and I make other people or things more important and I will not longer do that.

             My Psychological goal is to meditate or relaxation exercise every day. I need to relax my body and my brain. I am on the go too much and never have down time and it causes a lot of stress. Again I am always trying to please everyone and do everything I can for everyone and I know I need to learn to say no and take that time for myself.

            Physically my goal is to come up with a reasonable exercise schedule and stick to it. Even if I do something little as long as I am moving every day, getting rid of some my stress with involve running it out. I reached my first goal of buying a treadmill now I need to make sure I get my money’s worth and use it.

            Spiritually I will practice for my personal health will be to read my book and to attend a spiritual even whenever I find one in my area. I may possibly try to go to church a few Sundays a month. Psychological I will practice for my personal health I will practice subtle mind and use what I have learned in my health and wellness classes. Keeping positive thoughts and replacing each negative thought that comes to mind as often as I can until it becomes habit and all my negative thoughts are gone. Physically I will practice for my personal health is running and strength training. These are very important in my everyday life and I will be strong and healthy to live a long enjoyable life

            My commitment is to keep a journal of my starting point today and write in it every day how I feel what my struggles are and how I feel about each part of my life and in six months sit down and look at what my starting point was and where I am at that point and write about my accomplishments and also what my goals are for the next six months. I believe if I do this then I will carry this long term and continue to grow and become the person I want to be. This will be a commitment I will keep forever; no human is perfect so there will always be goals and improvement needed.
