In my personal assessment for unit three, I rated my psychological wellness at an eight, my
physical wellness at an eight, and my spiritual well-being at a five. During this course I did experience a bit of
growth in all areas. Utilizing the
practices in the text caused my spiritual well-being to increase by one, and my
psychological and physical to increase by ½.
The goal I set for myself in physical
well-being has not quite been met since I
am currently not doing any strength training but the frequency of exercise and duration has
increased. For my psychological well-being
I set a goal to practice new types of
meditation and this
goal has been met. As for the spiritual
aspect I wasn’t quite sure how to develop this area. Personally I feel the loving kindness practice
has the helped me. I feel that implementing these goals have improved my well-being. They have made me more aware and conscious of my actions or lack thereof.
Overall this course has
been a great personal experience. Not
only have I learned about integral health but I have learned a lot about
myself. The most difficult aspect of knowing
all of the information was holding myself accountable for the decisions I make that affect my
well-being. Now comes the time where I must
practice what I preach so that when I assist others I will be speaking from personal
experience and regular practice. It is
very rewarding to see my growth and I am eager to continue.
