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?
2. Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.
3. Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.
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?

In my personal assessment from unit 3 I rated myself  physically 5, psychologically 7 and spiritually 7. I originally felt like I made progress in these areas but needed more development. I rated myself so low physically because I was not exercising at the time. I love to exercise but sometimes life experiences get in the way. I am very active in my everyday life. I ride bikes, I play games with kids, and I walk with my husband. 

I now score myself as 8 spiritually. 8 psychologically and still a 5 physically. Because I have not started going to the gym as of yet. I love the gym and I just do not feel like I am doing enough when I am not going to the gym. Psychologically and spiritually I  have raised the bar but it is still more to do.

I have made progress with my goals. My spiritual goal to study more I do that. Psychologically to do mind exercises and read more I am doing it. Physically to exercise at 6am I have not started as of yet.

My whole experience in this class has been unique. I have learned how to develop myself in ways I did not think about. Visualization for example is a way to ignite focus and diligence and maintain it. I found it very difficult to do the exercise as I do not believe in these types of exercises. I do have my own meditation where I focus on God and his word. This has been very rewarding for me. This class has also improved my ability to work and assist others through understanding that their are different ways to approach clients.

Introduction:
It is important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically for the patients. How can we guide someone on a path we have never been on? It will be a different experience but the same rules will apply. As a Health care professional our experience will speak to our clients through our convictions. If I am convinced I can convince others.
　
I need improvement in all three areas but I would focus on physically. Physically I am not where I want to be. It is challenging to find the time to exercise like I want to. One goal I have for myself is being able to instruct exercise classes. I was there, but my consistency was not. I am currently working on this goal because it is my desire to help others get physically fit and in good health.
　
Assessment:
Assessing my health in each domain is critical to accomplishing my goals. If I do not know where I am how will I know what to do to get to where I want to be? I have assessed myself and I have discovered that I am on the right track, I have made a lot of progressed and I just need to stay consistent. Spiritually I have flourished to the point that my spiritual connection guides my life and brings me health. I would rate myself at an 8 because no matter good you are you can always improve. Psychologically I have leaped in the right direction. I rate myself at a 6. I have more control over my actions. I make intentional decisions to better my life. I am not controlled by my emotions and I have gained control over the chattering mind. I do not just react but I have a subtle mind that moves into calm abiding, knowing where my emotions are and understanding how to proceed. Physically I have a strong desire to exercise and eat right. I rate myself at a 5. I
　
　
　
　
　
　
know what to do and I have made preparations to do so. I just moved so I am looking for
a good gym to join. In the mean time I have a great path to walk and so I do. I said I would start to take me time and exercise 30 minutes 3 times a week. I have started and I feel great.
　
Goal development:
Goals I have set for myself would include physically being able to instruct an exercise class. Psychologically developing my organizational skills to develop organized children. Also to intellectually grow, understanding more and on a greater level. Spiritually to come closer to my maker and being more like him every day.
　
Practices for personal health:
How I plan to achieve my goals. Physically through 30 minutes of working out 3 times a week, Walking and running, lifting weights 2 times a week and joining an exercise class. Spiritually meditating everyday in the word of God and seeking to understand God better through practicing his values showing love to everyone. Psychologically developing my organizational skills through mind exercises reading, and listening to experts on organization.
　
Commitment:
I am committed to accomplishing my goals. In the next six months I will reassess myself by jotting down my goals and posting them. In six months I will look at the progress I have made or lack of progress. Then I will reevaluate each goal and make new ones according to the point I have made it to. Realizing that if I have made progress I should still applaud myself and go on.
