Unit 10!!!

  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? 
Psychological - I originally scored myself a 5, but now I would score myself an 8.  Since we first started I have been about to spend more time with my family. I just got back from the beach with my wife and daughter and it was amazing. I have also started a new job and I am going through the process for the Police Department.  I am less stress than I was before. Yes , I still worry about money and things like that but I have been about to relax more and enjoy much needed time with my family. 

Physical - I originally scored myself a 5 and now I would only score myself a 6. Not much has changed with me physically but I am starting to exercise and eat healthier. 

Spiritual - Back in until 3 I scored myself an 8 and I would still score the same. I know my purpose in life and I know what is important. 
  1. Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.
Psychological-my goal was to " keep fighting and never give up, even when things don't go my way" I think that I have made progress towards my goals. I think that it has started to pay off. 

Spiritual- my goal was to " remember why I am working for, and to never forget the importance of family. I don't think that I will ever forget the importance of family. I think that my goal should have been a little different and I should have worked on trying to help people. 

Physical- my physical goal was not accomplished. I wanted to get into the condition that I was in when I was on active duty. I have been very busy trying to make progress towards my other goals that I did not focus of my physical goals. 

  1. Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.
Psychological- I think that working a different job has allowed me to spend more time at home and with my family which than makes me happier. 

Spiritual- I have been doing exercises such as loving kindness that have helped me with my spiritual wellness. Besides the exercises that we have done in class I have not worked on my spiritual wellness, but I think that my psychological wellness has improved and in return my spiritual wellness has benefited.

Physical-I have started to work out and eat healthy. 
  1. Summarize your personal experience throughout this course. Have you developed improved well-being? What has been rewarding? What has been difficult? How will this experience improve your ability to assist others?
My experience in this class has been successful. I think that a class like this would benefit more if it was not online.  I think that a group discussion in a class would help with the exercises such as love kindness. 
Rewarding- seeing the difference between unit 3 and unit 10 and my wellness. 
Difficult- these exercises were difficult throughout the class.
This experience will allow me to relate to people more and I can assist people with trying to improve their wellness.

  1. I cannot believe this course is already over! I think you have made great strides in improving your health and wellness. Being we are all individuals and unique in our own ways, I believe you will ultimately find what suits you best and works best for you! I agree that having a class that is more interactive such as a class setting could have been more productive when it came to discussing the exercises, but I feel we all individually experienced our classmates experiences with the exercises through reading their blogs. I have really enjoyed reading everyone's blogs! I wish you the best of luck in all you do and all you set out to do!
