As I look back on my personal assessment through this course, I can positively save that my assessment of my psychological, physical and spiritual wellbeing for the most part has improved. There are some areas that I need to continue to work on to get to my goals. I had rated my physical wellness as a 5, I would say it is now a 6. I have been working out a little bit, so I am feeling better physically and can say it has improved since I have gotten back on my elliptical lately. I can also say that my spiritual wellbeing has improved. I rated it in the beginning as a 4 because I had lost touch with the church and god. I would say it’s a 5 now. I have talked to my counselor (pastor) about it and he has agreed to help me with this. I do pray sometimes and this is why I feel that I have improved spiritually. When it comes to my psychological wellbeing I must admit that it has been a personal struggle. I rated it as a 6 and I believe that it is now a 7. This class has taught me so much about my mind and how to control it using meditation techniques. I feel like I have grown in this area and I have reconnect with family and friends. I didn’t join Zumba, but I have been getting out more. I know forgiving was one of my goals, but I am not there yet and I doubt it will be anytime soon, but the fact that I am trying says a lot about me.
This course has changed my life forever. It has given me the tools that I can use throughout my life to help me through some tough times. I got to share and experience the lives of many wonderful people, who gave me great advice and words of wisdom. I think that the positive comments from my fellow classmates were very rewarding and just know that they all have been there at least once in their own lives helps me move on. I think the most difficult thing for me was truly opening up to everyone and letting them into my crazy life. Also believing that this course would help me was difficult for me to believe at first, but you were right Mr. Maule, I am now a believer. I know now that I can use the techniques learned in this class to better assist my patients, by showing them the exercises that I have use to improve my life to help them improve theirs.
This has been an awesome experience and class. I have met so many wonderful people and I wish everyone the best in their careers and in their lives.
That is great that you have grown in the three areas of your life since week 3 of this course. It takes time to make changes so keep up the good work. Some area of our lives will take longer to improve on such as your goal to forgive. I think this particular goal is a lifetime goal. It is something that you will continually work on throughout your life. This is not an easy goal, so give yourself credit for making little steps towards your progress.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you found this course so fulfilling. I too have found this experience to be a great one. This course has re-sparked my interest in health and wellness. I took another health and wellness course to fill another elective next block. I am so excited to start that class!
I can see how a person can be skeptical. We are surrounded by the Western medicine that it takes an open mind to learn about Eastern medicine. I am a believer that the Eastern medicine works. I am glad you are too!
