Review Unit 3

1. My personal assessment of my psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being in unit 3 was lower I scored myself spiritual wellness as a 8, it is now up to a 9 because of the things I have learned in this course. My score in my physical wellness was a 5, it is now a 8 because I am going to a chiropractor and exercise three time a week for ten minutes, I am working my way up to thirty minutes, which is what is required according to the American College of Sports Medicine, (ACSM, 2006) guidelines. I have set a realistic goal for myself and I am taking baby steps. My score for psychological was a 7, and now it is a 9 because of the work I have done and all the things I have learned in the last few weeks of this class.

2. After reviewing the goals and activities I set for myself in each domain, I have made progress toward those goals. I now have the spiritual tools to help me build a new life, before everything in life looked like a nail, and the only tool I knew how to use was a hammer; therefore, I banged my way through life. Today, I feel as though I have a spiritual tool kit in front of me stoked with what every tool I need, be it physical or mental and I am grateful for that.

3. I have implemented these activities for my well-being in each area through looking inward with meditation and prayer, choosing healthy eating patterns and diet and exercise programs, I hired a personal trainer. I will be conscious of areas of myself that need adjusting and be accepting of new challenges that can expand me physically, psychologically and spiritually.

4. My personal experience throughout this course has been tried and proven; I did not think I would make it through this course, but what an accomplishment for me. What has been rewarding for me is the wisdom that leads me to integral health and human flourishing. What was difficult was the accelerated pace of everything, posting on the DB, exercises, projects, and managing my time, OMG……This experience has improved my ability to help others by means of meditation, showing loving-kindness, a witnessed mind and taking skillful actions to help them grow and flourish physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
