During the unit 3 personal assessment of my psychological,
physical, and spiritual well-being, on a scale from 1- 10, I gave myself the
score of 8 on my wellbeing, 9 on my
spiritual wellbeing and a 3 on my psychological wellbeing. At lot has changed
since unit 3. Now, I give myself a score of 9 on my wellbeing, 9 on my
spiritual wellbeing and a 7 on my psychological wellbeing. The improvements in
my score are attributed to the increase of psychological and spiritual exercise
that I have been applying to my life. Though my life did not become easier, I
have been able to manage it a lot better. I spend more time using meditation
exercises and spend quality time with myself praying. I have also started going
to the spa and getting massages. That one addition to my lifestyle has truly
changed my life!
This course has changed my life. There are things
about myself I never thought to reflect on and improve until this course. I
have learned not to be too hard on myself and view everything from a positive
perspective. Like anything in life, when we start out, we are all gun-ho about
it. Then some of us begin to slowly creep back into our more familiar routine.
This, I fear, is one of the difficult things that I must face about this class.
During this course, I was going through a rough time and I feel that that had a
lot to do with my embrace of the practices. Now that I am improving, I cannot
start to slack off.
I talk to my family and friends about the benefits
of the exercises that were presented in this class. I also talk to them about
the importance of taking care of themselves as a whole. Most of them embrace
the exercises, especially when we did it as a group. Therefore, to me, the way
to help others benefit is to share your experiences with the exercises and your
personal outcomes.
Setting small goals and keeping track of the positive changes will continue to motivate you long after class ends. The key is finding what works for your life. If you managed throughout the class you have the drive and determination to do it on your own.

Marinda,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you have improved in your psychological well being. I think that it is important to have an equally balanced system to have everything functioning correctly. I think it is great that you have expressed the importance to others in your life and that they have been so receptive. I think if we demonstrate the benefits than others will see it and want to improve also.
