In unit 3 I scored myself on physical well-being as a 5,
spiritually as a 9 and psychological well-being as an 8. When I score myself
now I find my spiritual and psychological well-being has stayed the same
however my physical well-being has gone up to about a 7. I say this because I
have introduced more physical activity to my daily routines than I used to do.
Now my spiritual and psychological has sustained because on a spiritual level I
want to learn more about other cultures and practices which will make my score
higher in time giving me something to achieve as well as my psychological
well-being.
The goals I made for myself in unit 3 for my physical
wellbeing was to jog around my town for a half an hour a day after dinner time
as well as adding some sit ups in the morning each day after eating breakfast.
Spiritual goals were to continue to meditate daily as well
as pray but do it a bit more often such as once every other day while listening
to my pan flute.
Psychological wellbeing goals was how I needed to work on is
how to love and honor myself as I am my own worst critique and I do not give
myself enough credit as I find if I do I would be taking time away from helping
someone else and I feel this is the one thing I need to work on. My goal will
be everyday to tell myself something nice to myself and learn to cope with
others that also express their kind words to me.
I have added jogging into my daily routine, I pray every
night and meditate three times a week, and I write down every day something
nice about myself and I have found that I am so much more well balanced as a
person since I have done so. I am very proud of myself and the accomplishments
I have done and will continue to do. So yes I have made progress towards my
goals and I have implemented the activities I said I would in each three areas
and I am now adding more goals which include doing yoga three times a week,
looking up different cultures and learning about them while keeping an open
mind, and continue to do mental exercises as well as write in my journal about positive
things within myself.
My personal experience about this course is how wonderful it
is and how I think this course should be added in high school for every youth
to really find themselves and balance out their psychological, spiritual, and
physical well-being. I think this world would be a better place if we did
because it helps show you no matter what you go through you can continue to be
a wonderful human being you just have to train your mind.
The rewarding part has been being balanced and being pain
free for 8 week’s of this course and I cannot express my gratitude for this.
The difficult part of this course was seeing the good in myself when before all
I saw was flaws and mistakes and hatred towards myself and it took me a few weeks
of this course to understand I can be a wonderful person and that I must love
myself before I can love others.
This experience has improved my ability to assist others
because I have hands on experience as to what a person needs to do to overcome
themselves since sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Knowing this I can now
assist others that may feel the same way as well as showing them techniques
they can do on their own to help them as it has for me.
Hi Donna
ReplyDeleteThe rewards that we get from our hard works are sometimes gone unseen from our own selves. We tend to be harder on ourselves which for many is not a bad thing. Always keep this same feeling you can never go wrong. Best of luck to you.
Hello Donna,
ReplyDeleteI too can relate to how you feel and your frustrations of feeling negative or looking at what we do in this light. Telling ourselves I should've, could've, would've and this in return makes us feel even worse than we did before. I wish I could motivate myself to change my physical goals. This is hard for me to do for the fact that I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and am in constant pain. I noticed that you said you were able to be pain free from things you learned in this course. What has helped you the most in improving your pain levels and frame of mind?
Donna,
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome you have increased your physical well being. This sometimes is very hard for individuals to change because it involves altering lifestyle.Donna it is so great to hear how your inner healing has helped your physical wellbeing. I love that you have been pain free so long. You sound like a beautiful person. I too think this in our high school would benefit our nation. Good luck to you as you move forward I applaud all your progress.
