Unit 10 last blog

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.
