UNIT 9 PROJECT

I. Introduction
Why is it important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically? What areas do you need to develop to achieve the goals you have for yourself? It is important because when you are hands on in your teachings it motivates those that you are teaching to want to integrate it into their own lives. If the health care professional openly practices these things in their day to day lives it not only benefits them and their families but their patients. If you practice what you preach others are then more open and more likely to receive integral health. The area that I need to implement in my life is the physical. I would like for my mind, body, and spirit to become linked.

:
How will you assess your progress or lack of progress in the next six months? What strategies can you use to assist in maintaining your long-term practices for health and wellness? I think that I will keep a chart to make sure that I am doing these things. I think that if I visualize it then seeing what I am or am not doing motivate me to do better to become a better person. I think that incentives would be a great idea. Maybe a new purse when I achieve my goals or a new pair of shoes. I think that would be a great motivator for me. And once I get into a rhythm then I will then do it out of habit and without force. Then it will become a routine for me.

What strategies can you implement to foster growth in each of the following domains; Physical, Psychological, and Spiritual. Provide at least two examples of exercises or practices in each domain. Explain how you will implement each example. I am a firm believer that there is always room to grow. In any way that I may become a better person I am open and receptive to those changes. In the physical I could have a friend to workout with me to motivate me to implement those changes. Right now it is staring to warm up a little so now I can go in the back yard and play with the boys to make me a little more active. In my psychological I can implement change by meditation and finding my center and distress. When I come home in the evening I go into my room and close the door and enjoy a few moments of peace and quiet before I have to start dinner and help with homework. As far as the spiritual I try to read my bible at least once a day. I said that I was going to try and read it at least twice a day when I wake up and when I go to bed.
:
List at least one goal you have for yourself in each area, Physical, Psychological (mental health) and Spiritual. The goal that I have for myself in the physical is becoming more active and less sedentary. As far as my mental health, I think that I am doing a pretty good job there. I am a thinker and often over process things and I have learned not to stress over the small stuff. I have learned how to calm my mind and my small problems in thinking that there is always someone who’s situation is worse than mine. And in doing so I am learned to be grateful for the good and the bad because the bad is only temporary. Right now I am striving to more spiritual and am well on my way.
How have you assessed your health in each domain? How do you score your wellness spiritually, physically, and psychologically? I would score my spiritual wellness and a 9.5. I would score my physical wellness as a 4, and I would score my psychological wellness as a 7. I am currently working on improving myself for myself. And when I conquer these things I think that I will be on the brink of achieving my optimal wellness.
