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?
As for my physical I had rated it a double zero. Even though I am
nowhere near my goal weight, I have made some changed in my diet and I am doing
the best that I can do at the present moment. I do have fibromyalgia and I had
went to the doctor and he prescribed me Lyrica. It has helped me out tremendously!
I do not feel as much pain and I can do things easier than I could before. I
actually have energy and I can clean, run, jump, play, work, walk, etc without
much pain. I do still feel some and have my bad days; but, I am happy I am
functional now. I was miserable before, now I am a little happier! I do try to
get some kind of exercise everyday; however, I need to do more if I want to get
to my goal weight. I have lost maybe ten pounds of weight, but it is a start!
It is going to be a tough project, but I am looking forward to a new me,
healthier me, and a happier me. So, instead of a double zero for my score, I
will move it up to a one. One step at a time and no looking back. For my
spiritual, I do feel like I am closer, but not as close as I would like to be.
I rated myself a five and even though I feel closer to my spiritual, I think a
five it should stay. I say that because, what I have been taught in this class
is that it takes some time to heal the inner self. I believe I am on the right
path though and look forward to a more spiritual me. I do know my psychological
is better as well. I am not as depressed as I was and I feel more happier and
less sad. I would say that I am lighter and not as heavy in my feelings. I may
feel lighter, but I need to still work on my psychological. I still have low
self-esteem; on the other hand, I am working on it. I had rated myself a one,
so I think it is a two now. One day at a time I say. Even though I may be
taking baby steps, I am getting there.
2.
Review the goals and
activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the
goals? Explain.
I have made some progress towards my goals; although, I still need
a lot of work. I am taking it day by day. One step at a time. I have joined
fitday.com and that helps with my diet and adding in my foods and keeping a
track of what I eat and what I should eat. How much calories I am suppose to
have each day. I still need to add more exercise. I do walk about a half an
hour at least three times a week. If I can up it to five or six day a week,
that would be better. I also need to add some stretches and other exercises. I
need to continue to add more time to my meditation. I have made an appointment
with the nutritionist to talk about what I can do about my weight.
3.
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 have enjoyed this class very much and it was eye opening. It has
helped me get closer to my spiritual, physical and psychological self. Yes, I
have developed an improved well-being. What has been rewarding is being able to
help myself be happier and healing myself along my goals and paths for the
future. Happy to know that I am on my right path in life and it makes me
blissful! What has been difficult it my frustration and not being able to have
peace and quiet on my times I needed to meditate. I am learning to get over
that. This experience will improve my ability to assist others because I have
went on this same path that they are going to go through with my help. They
will trust me and I can share my story.
