Unit 10

1. 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 scored a 7 in physical well-being, a 7 in spiritual well-being, and an 8 in psychological well-being. I would say that I have made major improvements in my life scoring a 9 in physical well-being, an 8 in spiritual well-being, and a 9 in psychological well-being. They have changed because I have made adjustments in my life. I started to exercise daily increasing my workouts from 4 days a week to 7 days a week. I finally had my epidural and am no longer in pain except every now and then I get spasms. My spiritual well being is much better because I have focused on being positive and staying that way. I started my work out regiment and have been on track and getting back into shape. My psychological well-being is definitely better because I am more focused on making myself healthier and better for me.

2. Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.

My goal in all areas is to be healthier, feel better about myself, and be happy. I have been logging the things I do in a journal entry. For example, I log the things I eat, my moods, and the things I did that day. In doing so, I can reflect on the things that need improvement so that I can reach my goals.

3. Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.

Yes, I have implemented activities in all areas. For example, I work out seven times a week, eat healthy, meditate at least twice a day, and go to church. I do things that make me happy and comfortable.

4. 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 definitely have improved my well being from this class because I have become a better person as well as a healthier person. I have learned to be more patient and not stress out about everything. It has been rewarding in the fact that I feel good about myself as well as improving my overall health. In the beginning it was difficult in meditating because my mind would tend to wander and I had trouble focusing on my meditation. This experience will improve my ability to assist others because I can tell them the benefits of these exercises and how it could improve their lives.
