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?
These are my scores from unit 3 and why:
Based on my reflection I would rate my physical wellbeing a
6 out of 10. I do this because I have
diabetes and high blood pressure. They
are very well controlled but I am still obese and have a tendency to eat for
the sake of eating. I would rate my
spiritual wellbeing a 5 out of 10. I do
this because we are in between churches at the moment and I am not satisfied
with where I am spiritually. I do not
believe there is a completely right religion.
I believe in God but I think man has skewed some of the writings to his
favor at different points in history. I
also feel that I need to connect more with my inner self and find my
center. Find more of my inner peace. This is related to my stress level. I rate my psychological well-being at a 5 out
of 10 at the moment related to stress with my ex-husband over my middle and
oldest children. I am trying to let
things slide off my back but when it comes to my children I am very protective
and things get to me more than they should.
If it were not for the graduation, I do not think I would be so wound
tight. My husband has been great and
very supportive.
Now, I would rate my physical well being at a 6.5 because I
am having a rough time with my arthritis and the herniated discs in my neck,
but it is controllable but my diabetes and blood pressure well controlled. I am eating better now as well. I have changed
my diet, eating more fruit and veggies.
My spiritual well-being is a 7 out of 10. I am reading the bible more and watching a favored pastor from Houston on
tv. I have gotten a lot out of it. I rate my psychological well being at a 7
after this class I have learned to deal with my issues and meditate to clear my
head and find a better way to deal with things using Dachers teachings.
2.Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in
each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.
I have increased my exercised more taking my dogs for a walk
and my daughter is helping with the dinner plans, which takes the pressure off
of me. I have taken time to meditate and
find my inner self and balance my chi. My spouse and myself have taken more time off
to smell the roses and away from the house fishing, boating, and just have
fun. It has been great.
3.Have you implemented the activities you chose for your
well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.
I have been fishing, boating, walking, playing with the
dogs. I have been playing with the kids
outside and challenge them to a game of dancing games on the wii. My gosh, I haven’t had this much fun in
years. I have been teaching my kids to
cook to be able to care for themselves and carry on some of the family recipes
and spend time together. This has been a
good series of exercises to build my mind , body and spirit.
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?
My personal experience has been a good one. I have learned to delve into my inner self
and find peace and tranquility. The most
rewarding has been It has improved my relationship
with my family and work relations. I am
able to relate much of my teachings to my job and help my patients. I am able to help patients deal with chronic
pain with imagery and meditation. I have
been able to help others with better food choices. It has been a win- win for all.
