Unit 10 question 4

In summerizing my personal experience through out the semester I would have to say that this has been my favorit and most helpful class that I have attended during my schooling at Kaplan. I have very much developed my overall well-being. I am much more focused on the moment instead of just going through the motions with any one thing. The one thing that was probably the most difficult when I first started it was quieting the mind. It is much easier for me now because my practing has turned it to a natural thing daily. In certain situations I have to remind myself to focus on the moment but I am getting much better. My ability after taking this class will improve my ability in assisting other by being able to share my experiences with them and to teach them the techniques that I have learned. Thanks Professor!

Unit 10 question 3

I have implemented theses activities in my well being, by practicing each day. With meditation to help the stress each one of the areas have been touched. Mt psychological, Physical and Spiritual have all been effected by meditation, and I wish to continue the progress and continue with new and old activities.

Unit 10 question 2

In reviewing the goals and activities that I set for myself in each area, I have definetly made progress toward these goals by , 1 opening myself up to new and exciting things, to letting go of old negative issues, to learning to relax the mind and calming the noises. Also to practice staying focused on the moment.

Unit 10 Spiritual Well-being

My spiritual well being has increased from a 7 to an 8. This class has made me realize that there are no limits to my spiritual well being, it is hard to measure on a scale from 1-10. I do plan on continuing to practice the skills that I have learned this semester, and furthering my skills in spirituality.

Unit 10 Physical

In completing this course I have improved my physical level of health and well being by being able to let go of the negative and focus on positive aspects of life. Also by letting go of any ill feelings I have for anyone else. The loving kindness exercises were very benefical for me. In unit three my physical well being was a 6, I belive it is a 7 at this point.

Unit 10 Psychological level

In unit three, I rated my psychological well being as 8. In completing this course I have found that it has opened different avenues to my abilities. In doing the different exercises I have found ways to relieve tension and stress and I have developed a deeper level of appreciation and love for things. As far as my current psychological, it has improved in a much deeper and satisfying way, but it is still a 8, I have much much more to larn.

Unit 9 Project--Introduction- It is important for health and wellness professionals to develope psychologically, spititually and physically becasue as a practitioner if an individual does not practice integral health in their own life they cannot possibly guide their patients to a life of integral health. To achieve integral health, one must develope and balance the psychological, sprititual, and physical aspects of life, this would be even more so for the practitioner. In my personal life, I must constantly work on all three areas of my life to achieve the balance within. Assessment-Physical well being- on a scale of 1-10, I would rate my current physical well being at 8. I am continuing to work on my immune system as Luekemia is still within. My lymphocytes levels are continuing to drop at a steady pace. I am feeling wonderful, better than I have in years, more energy and stamina. Spiritual well being-On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my current physical well being at 8. I have never been this spiritually balanced, and how wonderful it feels to be focused and making good decisions and not reacting without thinking about the situation first. Psychological well being-On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my psychological level at an 8. I am not where I want to be in my professional career, and that creates a little anxiety. But in another 6 to 8 months I will achieve that goal. I am sure at that point the anxiety I feel now will dissipate. Goal Development- Quality of life -remain unaffected by Leukemia Physical goal-remainpain free and full of energy Spiritual goal-continue to discover within. Psychological goal-reduce negative thoughts and also reduce strssors in life. Goal setting can be very general or specific. It is best to have a goal that is specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and timely, or SMART. It is easier to see progress and stick with the goal that is set. Stragies that I can implement to foster growth in each of the following domains, Physical, Psychological, and Spititual are staying focused on my physical, psychological and spititual growth. Continuing to practice my meditation exercises and being able to calm the mind and focus on the paht I want to go down and never loosing sight of all my goals, short and long term. I will continue to assess my progress in the next six months by journaling, which will assist me in maintaing my long term practices for health and wellness. I will periodically look back to see where I have been, and constantly stay focused on where I am going.
