Unit 10 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? 

In Unit 3
Psychological: 6
Physical: 3
Spiritual: 2
Now in Unit 10
Psychological: 8
Physical: 5
Spiritual: 7
The reason’s on why my scored changed would have to be going through the personal challenge of a family loss; especially as close and me and that person was I had to learn many different things about myself and what I really wanted out of life and which paths I needed to take to get there.
1.      Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.
I have met my goal spiritually, because I have learned how to trust more and within learning how to trust more I have improved my relationship significantly. However, I still need to work on my psychological well-being, because there are some things that I struggle to stop and focus my attention. Also, my physical will come soon, I just had to go through a period of mourn so I could get myself back together mentally before physically. I do not think that it is always a positive thing to work out totally stressed. However, I have recently decided to try and join a gym to start back into becoming more physically fit.
  1. Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.
Spiritually, yes, I have, simply because life left me no other choice. Psychologically, I have as well because I had to sit down and focus just to get some of my work done as well as to read and study. What I have learned to do while I am trying to focus that I should at least have some music playing in the background to keep my mind from wondering off; mostly classical music and jazz. Physically, I have not reached my goals yet, however, I am hoping to get into a regime of workouts soon.

3.      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?

I can honestly say that throughout this course I have most definitely learned more about myself and the goals that I would like to accomplish as a person. I have developed my well-being in every area except physically. I have has some personal challenges that I had to endure during this course that had held me back a little, but it will not ultimately deter me from my goal of becoming more physically fit. The most rewarding is how I now have a different sense of understanding for others and how they may feel, which helped my psychological and spiritual well-being. Like I stated earlier the most difficult part was the physical because I went through some personal setbacks, but I can say that will help me in the future to be more empathetic and better understanding of others. The most rewarding part for me would have to be me spiritual, because I had to learn how to trust to get to this level of understanding and it is helping in so many areas of my life and I am extremely glad that I decided to take the chance to let it grow.
