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.
