During Unit 3, the scores I gave myself for each area of wellness were: physical-5, psychological-8, and spiritual-6. However, these scores are no longer accurate for a number of reasons. First of all, I have learned SO much these last few weeks! In Unit 3 I was scoring myself on what I thought physical, mental and spiritual health was. Once I had learned what it really means to be healthy in these areas, I had to adjust the previous scores. A couple of weeks ago when I reassessed and adjusted my wellness scores (taking everything I had learned into account), my wellness levels were: physical-7, psychological-6, and spiritual-4.
Throughout this entire class, I have set multiple health goals and have worked towards continued growth and development in all 3 of these areas. While I still have a way to go in each area, I am happy to say that I have made some progress! My new scores would be: physical-8, psychological-7, and spiritual-6.
I have definitely made progress in my specific goals since Unit 3 as well. I originally set goals to start exercising each morning, practicing yoga to help de-stress and spending at least 1 hour a week developing my spirituality. Since then, I have successfully started running again each day, practicing yoga 3 times a week and have made daily prayer and attending church more of a priority in my life. I especially feel that running and yoga have helped me in all three areas of my wellness. Both of these activities have given me the opportunity to increase my physical health, de-stress and calm my mind, and increase my spirituality, all at the same time.
I personally have loved this entire course and am extremely thankful for everything I have learned. Some people may think of this class simply as a requirement for their degree, however I truly feel like this class was a life-changer! By implementing many of the practices and concepts I have learned, I have drastically improved my quality of life already. I know that this will also help me give the best care to my patients in my future career as a Naturopath. By starting on my path to human flourishing now, I look forward to being able to help so many others begin their journey later on!
Always in health and happiness,

I agree, I really enjoyed this class,too. I have learned a lot from it and I am excited about evolving and learning more on my health and wellness journey. Good luck to you on yours.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there was a lot to learn in this class, and the books are a good source for self improvement. A lot of this people know they should be doing, but implementing a routine and sticking with it is the difficult part. This was an elective for me since I am getting a Business Administration/Management degree, but for those who are in this field it is helpful and reinforces information used in their career. Good luck with everything!
