Unit 10 Final Post

          

My psychological assessment was at an 8 but I would say I am at a 7 or 8 now. I think the change is more from growth and frustration combined. I have realized that my psychological thought process is not as well connected to my physical well being as much as I would like it to be. Hence the slight drop. But that also tells me that I am learning more about myself which means growth despite a slightly lower number.

My physical well being was a 5 and still is simply because I have not yet begun to motivate my self to loose weight which I really need and want to do. But, I will because I am ready and willing. In six months my goal is to be at an 8. My husband and I are going to start exercising together.

My spiritual assessment was 8 and is still an 8. I have a strong belief system and I will always have a strong belief system. Some days are not as good as others and this is why I rate it at an 8 although I do not see it getting any higher. I am no saint, nor do I believe I could be any stronger than I am. I believe it is about your own belief and continuing to grow in your belief and there is no ceiling on that growth.

My goals in each area are very similar to each other which make sense considering they all have direct effects on each other. My psychological, physical, and spiritual goals are all based on meditation, yoga, and prayer which are all based on mind/body/soul connections. I am and will continue to grow in these areas. I pray more, I have set up exercise programs for myself and my husband and I have made arrangements to start yoga. Go me.

I think I have both improved and struggled all at the same time in this course. I also think that is a part of growth and the human experience. I have learned that all of surroundings affect my life and not just my own personal surroundings. I have learned to embrace life and all that it has to offer so that I may learn to grow with life and without all that I can gain from it. I think the knowledge of learning about yourself and of life can help me to assist others in learning to be more open to their own growth and their own mind/body connection.
