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?
On a scale of 1-10, I give myself a 7 for physical well- being (which is 2 levels more than what I gave myself in Unit 3) and a continued 8 for spiritual and mental health. I have found that since I started this course I have been able to motivate myself more to indulge in physical activity. I feel less self-conscious of my appearance and I am enjoying life more since I have been able to let go of my insecurities using meditation and mental imagery and prayer. I am more in-tune with myself.
2. Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.
I feel that I have made extreme progress in the goals that I have set for myself. I have started jogging again and have even increased my endurance by an additional ½ hour which I am proud of myself for. I have even started some weight training as well as increased aerobic time. I am happy with the changes my body is going through and last but not least, incorporating meditation, relaxation therapy, mental imagery, and prayer is keeping me focused in being able to meet these goals. My journey has only just begun and I will continue until I feel whole-heartedly satisfied.
3. Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain
.
Yes, I have changed my eating habits as well as my exercise. I have also implemented prayer and relaxation therapy consisting of aromatherapy and visual imagery which has helped me on my journey.
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?
Throughout this course I have found that I have grown mentally and spiritually more that physically. I have found that my mental state is more at a calm and my well-being is more accepting of diffusing situations that where I felt compromised before. I can stand on my own two feet without feeling I needed to hide behind facades. My difficult moments were trying to achieve loving-kindness, I still struggle with it a little but, I know I will achieve slowly but surely. In conclusion, I will continue working on working on achieving total Integral Health and will continue to incorporate my friends and family into living a more wholesome life full of the achievement of finding themselves and the realization of finding their true self.

JaeC, Way to go! you have made such positive progress, you must be so proud of yourself. You shorted yourself in your summary though giving more applause to your spiritual and mental health, when physically you have improved 2 levels higher. That is huge and isn't it amazing how the physical aspect improves our mental capacity:) Good for you girl, keep it up and you will flourish...lol human flourishing that is, health, happiness, and wholeness! kelsy cofield
ReplyDeleteHi JaeC,
ReplyDeleteI am very proud of your positive attitude, spirit, and growth in advancing in your healing techniques. You have demonstrated superior effort and positivity and it has and will be very beneficial to your healing growth in health and wellness. Best of luck to you and much success!
Hello JaeC
ReplyDeleteThis course has truly been a wonderful and rewarding experience for me. I see that you have given yourself a 7 for your physical well-being. That's great JaeC because you originally gave yourself a 5 back in Unit 3. Like you, since I have started this course, I am able to motivate myself more and indulge in physical activities, especially on the weekends. There is nothing wrong with your appearance so it is nice to hear that feel less self-conscious about it now and have let go of your insecurities.
I did not think that I was going to get into using meditation to help me out at first. As time progress with this course, I really looked for to my special to meditate and feel the peace it brought to me. By all means, continue working on achieving total Integral Health and it will continue to beneficial to you as life goes one. I wish you the best that life has to offer JaeC.
Regards,
Anthony Reid
