Unit 10 Final Blog. My Thoughts:

1.        Review your unit 3 personal assessment of your psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. Reflect on these areas. How did you score yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 in unit 3? How do you score yourself now? Has the score changed? Why or why not? Looking back on my responses in Unit 3, I scored myself an overall score of about 8. Physical wellbeing received a score of 10.Psychologica wellbeing; I scored myself as “9”. Now, I am experiencing a personal crisis and the midst of this, I have to continue doing classwork; and remind myself that these three areas are important in my life. I notice that my spiritual wellbeing was a 10 at the time Unit 3 was completed and it’s now a “10”. I am depending on my spiritual wellbeing to get me through this personal crisis.

2.        Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain. I have made progress towards all areas. Again, in the area of spiritual wellbeing, I made the most progress. I have more peace inside me when I encounter issues.  My Physical wellbeing temporary slipped, due to my personal crisis. But, I decided to get back in the swing of things. I have had to start from scratch again, walking slowly and stretching. Opposed to my usual walking/run and weight lifting routine. But I feel better now that I have started eating better again. My Psychological wellbeing has diminished a bit. In Unit 3 I scored myself as a “9”. Now, in Unit 10, because I have experienced a loss, I score myself at 6. I am more cautious and weary. I am careful of my feelings. Sometimes they’re under control, other times, they are erratic. Trying to keep my thoughts positive seems to be a challenge. Because of this, I look more to my spiritual wellbeing for help.

3.        Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain. I have implemented the activities I set before for my wellbeing, with some adjustments. I still spend time getting closer to God in my spiritual life. This gives me balance.  Physically I am making more progress. Psychologically I have decided to speak to a Christian counselor. I have also expressed, I would attend some seminar to help me in the areas of spiritual or in

 

the mind. I have completed one seminar about keeping my mind stronger.

4.        Summarize your personal experience throughout this course. Have you developed improved well-being? In this course I had the chance to actually look at my feelings, thoughts and actions. I was able to see where I stood in terms of health in every area of my life. I learned that I have several areas to fix and improve. I found out that I am better in some areas that I would not have thought I would be.  What has been rewarding? What has been rewarding was learning relaxation techniques to help me stay calm and see things in a better perspective.  I can use what I have learned in this class in my daily life. What has been difficult? Difficult was learning to be calm to center myself enough to relax. Even though I knew I had to relax, it's just something I am not used to doing. How will this experience improve your ability to assist others? Now, I can assist others, because I can understand the turmoil some people must go through. I’ll be better able to look at what they are saying and help them, instead of just hearing what they’re saying, I will be able to focus and give some solutions.
