1.
In Unit 3 I rated myself as a level 8 in all
areas of development. Reflecting on the progress that I have made, I would
still rate my physical area as an 8 mainly because I have not been able to
progress as fast as I would have hoped. I can see the benefits beginning to
work, but it is an ongoing process. I know that part of this is due to me
taking on a second job that will allow me to utilize my degree. I need to
adjust to my new schedule and manage my time to add in more exercises.
Spiritually I now rate myself an 8.5. I am growing and developing as I practice
meditation and relaxation exercises. I will continue to improve as I learn.
Psychologically I am at an 8.5 as well. I feel much better about myself. My
self-esteem is beginning to rise. The more that I practice the exercises we
have learned, the more confidence that I am building.

In reviewing the goals and activities from Unit
3 I am making some progress in these areas. The more that I work toward them
and believe that I am making progress, the more I accomplish. I know that once
I reach these goals I will have to continue to condition myself to maintain and
exceed.

I have implemented several of the activities
that I chose for my well-being in each of the areas. I practice several of the meditation
and relaxation exercises from this unit on a daily and weekly basis. I have
added a little yoga into my routine along with more time outside as the weather
is improving.

I feel more knowledgeable about integral health
and wellness upon completion of this course. This has been an eye-opening class
for me personally. I have grown personally, professionally, physically,
spiritually, and psychologically. As a person, I am much more conditioned in
every area that I wanted to be. Everything about this journey has been
rewarding. The research has backed up several claims regarding the benefits of
integral health. In following these practices myself, I am also beginning to
see the results as well. What has been difficult is to find the time to put
everything into a plan. I do my best and know that one day, with persistence
and belief, I will overcome this obstacle. I will use this experience as a
testament to the benefits of integral health. I will implement many of the
activities learned to help others foster their health and wellness. I have
gained resources that I can share with others who are considering this path as
well. Overall, I am completely satisfied with everything that the integral path
to health and wellness has to offer us all.
Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI think it is hard for a lot of people to make time for exercise outside of work, school, and having a family. You seem like a very positive motivated person, therefore I think you will make a great role model to others in the future. I enjoyed reading your weekly posts that were full of knowledge. Good luck in all you do!
It is great that you have increased your spiritual aspect of your life since starting this class. I think that this can be a hard thing to do with a busy life, especially setting deticated time to the side for meditation or other practices. I also feel this class was very helpful and beneficial in learning about integral health and applying it to our professional and personal lives.
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome that you are able to see the growth in yourself. I hope that you are able to get some more physical activity into your schedule. I understand what you mean about making time. My work schedule has been crazy since the flu hit. Im working doubles and its really cut into my workout and school schedule. Thank Goodness it is starting to go back to normal. Much luck to you. Blessed be.

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your final blog post this week, found it to be very inspirational and uplifting. Glade to hear that your self-esteem has been improving, from experience this can be challenging at times and with others in the work field. In addition, I noticed that you feel more confident with the idea of integral health and well -ness, which is very good. This new knowledge will guide you and the people around you in a very positive path. Good Luck in the near future with whatever you do.

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI know how difficult integrating the integral practices can be, but you are right that there is such reward with the finished goals we set for ourselves. I think life is about change and progression, some areas are easier to change than others but with practice and, as you said, persistance, the pay off is huge. Take care and I wish you all the luck in your endevors.
Take care,
