Last post!!!

Hello again everyone, this is my last blog!

In the begging of class I rated my level of wellness; physically, psychologically, and spiritually. What I said before is that my physical well being as a 9. physically I am healthy, but there is always need for improvement, such as eating healthier, for my spiritual well-being I rate myself as an 7, I needed some work on this area because I felt restless at times and I took life too seriously. I needed to just stop and enjoy the environment and be grateful for what I have. With my psychological well-being I rate it at an 8 because I do things to make me relax, such as yoga but I do not do it every day to help relax my mind, I often get frantic and stressed. Now I believe that I will still rate my physically well being as a 9, this is because I do eat healthier and exercise, but I feel like I could be doing more. I run every other day and on the days I do not run I do yoga, but I feel like I could be lifting weights or swimming on the days that I do yoga. I would rate my spiritual well being now as an 8, I have now taken the time to relax just about every night and meditate, but I feel like I am at an 8 because I am still getting stressed and often forget to do the exercises. With my psychological well-being I rate it at a 9, this is because I am doing more to help relax my mind and  seeing things more clearer, but because I am often forgetting to do the exercises some days when I feel stressed I still need improvement in my psychological well being. Now the goals I had set for myself in the begging were for my physical health would be to eat more healthier foods (getting more fruits and veggies and less snack food.) I have made progress towards this goal, I am making sure I have a fruit with my breakfast, and I have even made healthier choices when it comes to my meals. Every time I want to grab an unhealthy snack, I instead get some fruit. My goal for spiritual health was to do more silence prayers and find three different things everyday to be grateful for. I am making progress in this goal, I do silent prayers and even attend church, and I am working on finding three things to be grateful for everyday that I have not said before.  For my psychologically wellness my goal was to do yoga everyday and take that time to reflect on my day to relax my mind and body, I am working on this goal, there are some nights that I do not do yoga, I am just to tired at night to do any of my exercises, so I need to work on me getting motivating enough to continue on. I believe that I have developed and improved my well-being; this course has taught me to just relax and pay attention to my spiritual and psychologically well being. I feel like I have become more of relaxed person and that I have less stress in my life. That is what has been rewarding to me is I am able to manage my stress and I have found many different techniques and exercises to help me along my path. The most difficult part of all of this is reminding me to do the exercises when I need to do them the most. This experience will improve my ability to assist others because when I learn to heal my spiritual, psychological and physical well being, I can then implement the exercises I have learned and found helpful to others to help them go down their spiritual path to healing.

The Path is coming to the end!

Hello everyone this is the final blog.

I Introduction:

Why is it important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically? What areas do you need to develop to achieve the goals you have for yourself?

 It is important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically because having a healthy inner life develops a healthy outer life. When we develop our higher consciousness we benefit from it such as, it allows us understand our biology in a way science cannot, when we understand our mind/body it enhances our well being. Also, in order for them to be successful in their field, they have to have an understanding of spiritual, physical and psychological practices and how can they teach or help patients  to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically if the professional has not yet done so.

I would need to develop my psychological aspect. At times I let stress and pressure get to me. I would have to learn how to handle these in order for me to reach my goal. A good way to develop psychologically would be to take the time out of my day and meditate or even to yoga, not only does that relax me but it also will help me physically which in another aspect that I need to develop more, so I can stay healthy and reach my goals.

II Assessment:

  How have you assessed your health in each domain? How do you score your wellness spiritually, physically, and psychologically?

I rate my physical well being as a 9. physically I am healthy, but I do need to start eating healthier, for my spiritual well-being I rate myself as an 7, I need some work on this area because I feel restless and I take life too seriously. I need to just stop enjoy the environment and be grateful for what I have. With my psychological well-being I rate is at an 8 because I do things to make me relax, such as yoga but I do not do it every day to help relax my mind, I often get frantic and stressed.

 

III Goal Development:

List at least one goal you have for yourself in each area, Physical, Psychological (mental health) and Spiritual.

My goals for my physical health would be to eat healthier foods (getting more fruits and veggies and less snack food.) My goal for spiritual health is to do more silence prayers and find three different things everyday to be grateful for. For my psychologically wellness my goal would be to do yoga everyday and take that time to reflect on my day to relax my mind and body.

IV Practice for Personal Health: 

 
What strategies can you implement to foster growth in each of the following domains; Physical, Psychological, and Spiritual. Provide at least two examples of exercises or practices in each domain. Explain how you will implement each example.

Some activities or exercise that I can implement in my life to assist in moving toward each goal would be first to find someone such as a family member who will support me in my goals and help me reach them, because having support in my life will help. Another activity would be doing yoga, once you exercise your mind and body that is when I want to eat healthy and exercise such as running or walking.

V Commitment:

 How will you assess your progress or lack of progress in the next six months? What strategies can you use to assist in maintaining your long-term practices for health and wellness?

I will assess my progress or lack of progress in the next six months by keeping a journal of my goals and the activities I plan on doing to help me reach the goals. The strategies I can use to assist in maintaining my long-term practices for health and wellness is that I could make a calendar of the days I plan on doing these activities and at the end of every month I can re-evaluate my goals and see what I still need to work on or if I have accomplished my goals and make changes accordingly.
