I.               Introduction :

IT is important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically to be able to help a person heal in all areas.  They should be psychologically developed so they can enrich other people’s lives with understanding positive ideals in life. They should be spiritually developed to help some people realize they can heal and they can rely on a higher power, or simply other help then they can provide. A professional should also be spiritually developed for times when people they help, reach a time in their lives when they may eventually die. They should be physically developed, not in the sense of being a fitness guru, but in a way they are able to motivate someone else to become physically fit. Also, they will need the stamina to be able; to handle the issues of another person. A body that’s exercise will be able to withstand more than the body that’s not prepared. Physically fit people have little stress.

 

The areas I need to develop to complete my goals are exercise. I work out, but I have a reoccurring injury, that’s becoming persistent and wants to limit my activity. I still attempt to so more, so I do not become complacent and give in to injuries. Without much exercise I experience more stress.

I am always working to develop myself more spiritually. I believe God exists. Other people have their idea of who god is and what. In order to be certain I feel you should have a relationship with God, to do that, I must develop more spiritually. When I am seeking to be better spiritually, I experience stress, no worries and am able to feel for people more.

 

II.                  Assessment:

Assessing myself in these domains I find that I can certainly improve in several areas. I also realized that I was stronger in some areas; I thought I had no knowledge of. I am able to understand spiritual concerns some people may have and at times I find I am able to help them with solutions. I find that the areas in terms of letting people find out for themselves the results in issues, I seem to want to offer more help than they are ready to accept at that time. I score myself out of a 10, around a 5. I can do better.

 

III.                Goal development:

Well, Physically I want to be at a lower weight. Not because I want to be super skinny, but because I feel better when I do not carry so much weight. My body is less sore and less weak. Psychologically I have a goal of having a more appositive attitude toward things in life. I start off having the right attitude and then something or someone make me mad and then there goes my positive ness. If I can learn to maintain that good disposition, even though I am upset, I can improve more. Spiritually I would say the same things as I said above in Numeral II. I would like to become closer and deeper in a spiritual walk, where I don’t rely on just this life to sustain me, but my spiritual life in God.

 

 

IV.                Practices for personal health:

To foster growth physically I have created for myself a workout schedule to gradually get myself back up to a level that I can be satisfied with. My schedule starts with a walk around the neighborhood for about 10 minutes, and then I do some different types of exercise on the weight machine in the garage. Psychologically, I have said I will start to attending some seminars given about the mind and maybe developing a better mental health. The hospital near me, gives seminars at times. Maybe, I can gain more insight from these and get more understanding. Spiritually, there are seminars that are given by people at church. There are some I am interested in attending about the connection between dreams. I believe we get messages from God in our dreams, which can help us develop spiritually.

 

V.                  Commitment:

Assessing progress in the six months can be seen by how people say I help them. They will either be pleased or unhappy. I think other people are better judges of other progress. I will be watching my attitudes in things to see how much I have progressed. Hopefully, I will impress myself, by learning to add spiritual issues, physical exercise to the world’s view of how I should help people. In six months I hope to have a better grasp of everything in this book we have read in this class.
