Hello Professor and Class,
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?
After careful revision of my assessment in Unit 3 my optimal wellbeing was at a 6. The reason I choose 6 was because I was just getting back on track with my physical fitness regime, but now I rate myself with the score of a 9 because now I jog at least 5 days of the week as well as incorporating different physical activities such as yoga and playing soccer and back then I only incorporate jogging for at least three days per week because of my work schedules and the duties that I have to perform for my family.
For my spiritual wellbeing I rate myself at an 8. Every day as I am awake I begin my day with reading the Bible and prayer, and throughout the day I tried as much as I possibly can to keep my mind spiritually uplifted by listening to uplifting music, and memorizing scriptures, but now I rate myself at a 9 because my spirituality improve with each passing day. Now I am more thankful, forgiving as well as offer my skills, time, and resources to those in need.
For my psychological wellbeing I rate myself at a 5. I was learning more about myself each day in dealing with stressful situations, and most times I would get irritable whenever I couldn’t figure something out, and reluctant in asking for help when needed because I am often fearful of others rejection. But now I am at a 9, as it gets better with time. Whenever I encounter stressful situations I restrict unhealthy mental habits like worrying, and fear, as well as meditating, praying, and enjoying nature.
Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.
I have definitely made the necessary steps toward my goals, because now I have more love for myself as it wasn’t there before and I believe that through all the obstacles that life throws at me I will overcome them and become victorious.
Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.
I have implemented the activities I chose for my well-being in each of the three areas:
v Spiritually – I am more involve with activities such as mindful meditation, journal writing, and practicing yoga on my days off from work or when I have some leisure time.
v Physically – I join a soccer club and we have practice 4 days of the weeks, and the other days when I’m not at practice I’m at the organization within my community that facilitates more physical activities for others.
v Psychologically – I do things that bring the greatest joy to me such as cooking for the homeless, and volunteering my resources and time to those in need, as well as surrounding myself with positive sounds of inspiration.
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?
Personally my experience during this course was overwhelming, even though I may have to repeat this class. The most rewarding asset that I’ve gained from the class was the meditative practices because they have provided me with a new and profound perspective of myself and the relationship that I will encounter with others. But now I know that obstacles will arise during my journey in achieving my goals and I’ve purposed within my heart that this too shall pass. For me to effectively provide assistance to others all my attributes have to be intact, and now my spiritual, physical, and psychological levels have improved significantly. Therefore only when I am up to standards will I foster care to myself and others.
Thanks Professor for a job well-done.
