In Unit 3 I gave myself a score on a 1-10
scale a 4 physically, 7 spiritually and a 5 psychologically. Throughout this course I have made goals for
myself and have been working on these areas so that my rating has improved a
little. Now I would rate myself as a 5
physically because I have made steps to incorporate exercise into my daily life. Spiritually I give myself an 8 because I did
begin attending church again.
Psychologically I give myself a 7 because I have been working hard to
improve my mental health. I have enjoyed
the meditation exercises I began to include in my daily routine and I am taking
steps to start taking a yoga class in the near future.
I have made changes in each of these
areas and I have taken the necessary steps to improve my health and well-being.
Therefore, I feel that I am well on my way to achieving my goals in attaining
integral health and human flourishing if I stick to my plan and not let
anything get in the way. I still have work to do though. However, I have
learned and experienced the importance of maintaining balance in all areas and
believe that will be the motivation I need to continue forward.
Learning that I can control my
migraine headaches through meditation has been most rewarding to me. Incorporating these steps and activities into
my daily life until they become a habit has been difficult; however, I know
that if I just keep being consistent it will all become second nature to
me.
In order to help others, I must first
help myself. I need to experience these
changes and newly learned habits in order to provide assistance to others so
that I know what I am talking about and can have an understanding what the
people I am assisting are going through.
I have to maintain good health and well-being in all areas so that
others will look at me and know that I know what I am talking about and they
will want that for themselves.
