On the personal assessment, I scored my well being as, psychological-8, physical-5, and spiritual-9 in the previous unit. Having completed this wonderful course, I now score all areas the same except physical which has dropped down a notch to a 4. The other scores have remained the same because I try to take time out for myself daily as we learned a couple of units back. Although I have a very busy life, I have learned to put somethings aside some days or rearrange errands, housework, or other things that occupy my time. I had become aware of my anxiety levels "peaking" again, so I had to reevaluate and adjust. My physical score has dropped because although I am no couch potato, I have not had the time for much physical activity.
My goals were to become more physically active but instead it has been a start and stop routine mainly because it is to hot to work out and I refuse to pay for a gym membership that I more than likely will not use. I am watching my diet, so that is a plus. My goals spiritually and psychologically are to stay where I am and build on that.
I will implement my physical activity again when this semester is over and my schedule is not as hectic and the weather starts to cool down some.
This course has been a wonderful experience. It was very refreshing and a nice change of pace. I don't remember ever having a professor who gave so much encouragement and who was so enthusiastic about the material. I have started to improve my overall well being by remembering to take time for not only physical needs but mental ones as well. I realize this will be a process that will be ongoing.The most difficult part of the course was the blog set up, but once it was going it was a piece of cake and a good way to reflect on my thoughts. This course will only enhance my ability to help others. I try in some way everday to do some kind deed for another person. I believe that is one of the reasons we are here to help one another. I believe as long as I try to be a blessing to someone, I will always be blessed.
