unit 10

In unit 3 I scored my physical well-being as a 7, my spiritual well-being as a 8 and my psychological well-being a 7. If I had to score my self now I would not change them. I say this because even though I improved in all three areas I feel that I did not improve enough. I'm not trying to find the find to achieve my optimal wellness but i'm doing it over time. Over time I will give myself a 10 when I feel i have achieve my goal. 


To be honest I have not made progress to all my goals. I am trying but I do not seem to have the time. The only goal I have achieve is not being stress out as often and attempting to eat healthier. Other than that I come home, take care of my children and sleep. Hopefully I can find a quiet place to mediate and exercise. I do go to church but not every Sunday as I hoped. 


The activities I  chose have not been implemented in my life as yet. I did mediate for 20 minutes but then my family interrupted me and i had to tend to them. Sometimes I wish there was more in the the world for me to do what I want but there isn't. I'm trying to make it work but it's hard. I know within a year I will succeed but for now I have to do one thing at a time. I am eating healthier and attempting to go to the gym when I can. I ask the church about the organizations they are involved with and I will join as soon as I can. 


Throughout this course I learned many life lessons. I can now control my stress and my anger. I refuse to be around people with negative energy because they will not help me achieve my goals. I will surround myself around positive influences that will help me succeed. I feel that my well-being did improve and I am proud of that. Without this course I would not have learn to let go of my anger and pain. I am more happy now than I have ever been. Life is looking up for me and this course gave me lots of rewards. Yes it was difficult because sometimes it's hard to forget and forgive someone but I need to if I want to be happy. I am more compassionate and understanding because of this course. I know they will not be afraid of me helping them with anything. They will feel safe and I will show them how to achieve their full optimal wellness. 

unit 9

It is important for health and wellness professionals to have psychological, spiritual and physical qualities because they will have a positive attitude towards their patients. In return the patients will feel compassion and at peace with their doctor. This forms a safe and trusting bond between health and wellness professionals and patients. Both of them will be satisfied and with this bond health professionals can connect with their patients easier. If the patient sense that their doctor have a negative energy, they will not be open to trusting that person or be at peace.  The purpose of having good have psychological, spiritual and physical qualities is to feel a sense of wholeness, no stress just happiness and to pass it on to others.  In order for me to achieve this goal I need to work on my stress levels. I am trying to be at peace everyday but something or someone end up making me upset and stressing me out by the end of the day. I told myself I would mediate to feel at peace but I barely have time. When I have no stress then I will have optimal wellness.

I assessed my well-being a few months ago but it was difficult because everyday my well-being varies.  What I mean by this is that I could be happy in the morning and become stressed at night. Till this day I am going through the same thing. I realize that I do not have a stable wellness but I am working on it because this is not healthy. The only difference about then and now is that I have more confidence in myself and is working on changing my lifestyle. Spiritually I go to church every Sunday and read the bible when I can. Physically I am jogging and eating healthier. I want to be able to live and see my grand children. Psychologically I am meditating in order to release the stress and anger that I with hold inside me. If I had to rate my wellness I would give all three areas a 6. The reason I do this is because I need to work on each areas more. Spiritually I feel I’m not as close to God as I should be so I’m working on way to change that by helping the church and become involved in organizations. Physically I barely exercise and eat as much healthy food as I should and psychologically I don’t have a lot of time to mediate. Within a year I should be able to achieve all of this.

The goal that I have for myself physically is to eat smaller portions of food and have a well balance diet. I’m going to look at the food pyramid and see what my diet should consist of. Not only that but I will attend the gym at least three times a week for four hours. With my family support I know I can achieve this goal. Spiritually I want to feel closer to God so I’m going to attend church functions. If they want me to help with an organization then I will do it. I will feel better about myself because I am helping the community and learning to be a child of God in the process.  Psychologically I need to let go of all the bad energy around me. I will begin to ignore people in my life that have a negative energy. I cannot succeed in life if someone close to me want to see my fail. Also, I will find other ways to release my stress like yoga or going to organizations that will help me.

In order for me to foster growth in each area I need to work on finding wholeness. The exercises I can do are yoga, meditating, and jogging. When I fell happy I can pass on my positive energy to others at my work place. My action at the work place will make the patients feel safe and my co-workers might want to change the ways they treat their patients. What I mean by this is that they will treat their patients with care and not like trash.

In the next six months I know I will progress in these three areas because I am motivated to succeed.  My family will be the reason I commit to this and not back down. I am aiming for a good health not only for me but for my family. At times I might feel like giving up and forgetting all about my wellness but I know I will succeed and be able to motivate others to achieving a healthy well being.

Unit 8

Through out the exercise there are two that I find to be most beneficial; loving kindness practice and subtle mind practice. I learned to control the pain that I have endured in life and let it go. It takes time but I know I can do it. I no longer have anger towards certain people. The people that are close to me, I feel their pain and is able to help them move on while teaching my self to do the same. With this exercise I am able to feel happiness and joy while letting go of the stress and anger. The subtle mind practice enables me to feel calm and peaceful everyday. This exercise makes me focus on my goal without being distracted. For example, when I am doing my homework my children no longer distract me. I am able to focus on the current task that I am doing while blocking out the loud noise. Even at work I am focusing on whats best for the patients, not what they feel they need. I now look at life in a positive way and look forward to what the day will bring.
