At
the beginning of my creating wellness class, I was asked to rate my wellbeing.
On October 7th I rated myself as follows: Physical wellbeing = 8,
Spiritual wellbeing = 7, and Psychological wellbeing = 8. In my final project on November 18th I rated myself as
follows: Physical welling = 5, Spiritual wellbeing = 7, and Psychological
wellbeing = 6. My scores apparently changed but the decrease in two of my
scores is not due to regression. After learning more about what each area
really consist of, I realized I wasn’t doing quite as well as I thought. I don’t
take this as bad though. It is actually good because I gained knowledge and it
has enabled me to identify specifically what I can do to improve.
My
original goals were to: Physical = become more physically fit, control eating
habits better and make healthier choices; Spiritual = be at peace within and feel a complete connection with my personality,
intellect, will power and emotions; Psychological = finish training my mind and maintain
it where my mental state is at peace at all times. I have not made
progress towards my physical goal. I have not been running now that it is cold
outside. Plus I have been so occupied with work and school, I haven’t made time
to go to the gym. I have been eating better and controlling my portions and choices. I have been working towards my spiritual and psychological goals as well. I have definitely been praying more, meditating more,
having positive self-talk and I have become more aware of my negative emotions.
The creating wellness class was very beneficial. I do feel as
though I have slightly improved my wellbeing. I find the meditation practices
rewarding but most rewarding is the overall knowledge I have gained. Nothing
was really difficult but I just wish the class wasn't so fast paced so I could
have focused more. My experience in this class will definitely improve my
ability to assist others. I plan to share what I have learned with others when
needed. I would love to see other people take my advice and make natural
changes in their life that would foster a greater wellbeing and growth.
Hi Nika,
ReplyDeleteThis class has shown me just as much as it has shown you, and this has also been challenging for me because I thought I was doing alot right without having to change alot, but not true, I need to change alot. These challenges we have ahead are very beneficial and the improvement we have taken from this class will help us and guide us through the future changes we need to take on in order to continue improving ourselves. Great share!

Hi Nika,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog to be very honest and to the point. I liked that and have really enjoying reading your various postings. I too found that this class was fast paced and at times struggled to keep up with all the assignments, postings and blogs. The great thing is we made it to the end so congratulations on that accomplishment. Stay encouraged and keep striving to obtain the goals you have set forth.
