I Introduction:
Why is it important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically? What areas do you need to develop to achieve the goals you have for yourself?
My biggest goal is to develop myself spiritually as this is the weakest, yet most important part of my life. My success in the development in the other areas of my life depends on the strength and focus I gain from my spiritual life. I would like to prioritize one hour a day towards this goal.
II Assessment:
How have you assessed your health in each domain? How do you score your wellness spiritually, physically, and psychologically?
I assess my health overall as a 6/7 on a scale of 1-10. This is based on knowing there is much improvement that can be made as it is a never ending journey. I assess my quality of life by how content I am and how I deal with my relationships with people around me, but mostly I use the standard set by Jesus as I am a Christian and His character is what I want reflected in my life.
III Goal development:
List at least one goal you have for yourself in each area, Physical, Psychological (mental health) and Spiritual.
1. Physical: Improve my diet as nutrition is the heart of good mental fitness and physical ability.
2. Psychological: practice mental fitness exercise as part of my daily regiment of health
3. Spend an hour in thoughtful meditation incorporating the mental fitness as part of my quiet time and time spent with God.
IV Practices for personal health:
What strategies can you implement to foster growth in each of the following domains; physical, Psychological, and Spiritual. Provide at least two examples of exercises or practices in each domain. Explain how you will implement each example.
1. Physical- cut obvious unhealthy food out, concentrate on more fresh fruits and vegetables.
2. Psychological-use Subtle Mind exercise and running meditations, read contemplative material to strengthen mental wellness.
3. Spiritual- read material that will uplift the spiritual health and commit to spend time in specific communication with God for spiritual renewal.
V Commitment:
How will you assess your progress or lack of progress in the next six months? What strategies can you use to assist in maintaining your long-term practices for health and wellness?
My health will be assessed by quality of body, BMI, weight and energy. My psychological will be assessed by my stress level and how I am managing the affairs of my life. My spiritual life will be assessed by how well I prioritize spending my time each day in worship and meditation. Also in my dedication of Sabbath which shows my devotion by spending and entire day dedicated to my spiritual life.
My strategy would be to organize my time so each day I can always include these areas of priority. It will include assessing how I spend my time and cutting out things that don’t develop my overall health. As I already run and exercise and eat fairly well these areas won’t include more time, only refining what I already do. Prioritizing my mental fitness and spiritual exercises will be the biggest challenge as I tend to procrastinate and put it off until the end of the day. So putting it first in the day would probably be my best strategy and a way of showing my commitment to the goal.

It is great that you found ways to reach your goals. You are on the right track. I find it hard to keep it up after a few weeks. I realized that support is very helpful when trying to improve. Support helps you keep your goal in sight. I know that you will succeed. It has been great reading your posts and I wish you the best of luck.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a wonderful knowledge about who you are and what you want. Like you I know that there are many areas that need a bit of improvement but through faith and determination, all things are possible. I think you are very wise to change your diet to assist with your physical goals and can definitely relate to that one. I hope that you are able to achieve the spiritual clarity and devotion that you are seeking and have no doubt that you will maintain a happy, healthy, and postive life when you do:)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the class. I really enjoyed reading your post. Your Unit 9 project was very honest and well written. Like you, I believe that enhancing my spiritual life is one of the most important things that I can do. It not only strengthens myself and my relationship with God, but it also strengthens the relationships that I have around me. I liked the ideas that you came up with to help you reach your goals. I could not have suggested better ways to meet your goals. I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Thanks everyone for being apart of my experience in this class. It has really made the class more meaningful and enjoyable to have the feedback. God bless in your future classes and goals!
ReplyDeleteI admire your strength and courage to admit your flaws! That's a big step and I hope you were able to put the spiritual goals at the beginning of your day verses waiting to do it as a last activity before the day is over with. I wish you well on your spiritual journey! Always remember that the journey to sucess is just as important as the end result!
