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?
In unit 3 I gave myself the following scores:
Physical: around a
six or a seven – a little better than average but with room for improvement.
Spiritual: about
the same as physical.
Psychological:
undetermined.
Now I would give myself the following scores:
Physical: same as
then
Spiritual: same as
then
Psychological: an
overall score is still difficult to determine, some days being better than
others, but overall I think it has improved. I now have some tools that are
beginning to even out the differences between the good and bad days
2.
Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area.
Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain. 3. Have you implemented the
activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.
Physical:
I have not yet found a formal (with instruction) location for exercising so my
yoga/pilates is still just what I can get from books/videos but it is going
alright. With the weather finally getting cold, being disciplined about going
for walks may get difficult.
Spiritual:
I found a small group at church to join once they are done with their current
topic.
Psychological:
I found a counseling place nearby that my insurance should cover, so I just
need to make an appointment.
4. 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?
While some parts have been difficult
and frustrating, overall I have enjoyed this class and I think benefited from
it. The most lasting benefit I talked about in this week’s discussion post and
do not care to repeat myself here. The Loving Kindness exercise was one of the
most frustrating exercises at the beginning but it has become key to some of
what I gained and will in time make me better able to help others.
Hi Wren,
ReplyDeleteIt is really difficult assess yourself. I think most of us assessed ourselves with mid to high scores for room for improvement. As I recall in our readings there is always room for improvement.
Your goals you have set for yourself are reachable and seem they would be easy to stick with. Your goals for spiritual and psychological wellness include others which I can see being beneficial to you with sticking wit your goals. Your physical goal for practicing yoga and Pilates is fine to do at home by yourself. I found a bunch of videos on youtube that I like to do myself.
Great job!
Nellie
Hey Wren,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that some parts of this class have proven to be frustrating, they have at the same time been enlightening. I have learned things that will help me, now I just need to make time to implement them. I want to be better, and will be better, but making the time is what is holding me back. I am sitting in a slightly better place mentally, and a bit of a worse place physically, and spiritually the same. I have a time frame of 6 months to be the better that I want with new goals. I like how what you are taking from class the most is the exercise to help others. That is something more people need to follow in. I wish you nothing but the best. Its been great sharing with you. Good luck too you :)
