Posting early for week 10 :)

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?
         I did not change my score any from unit 3 to unit 10 becuase I feel I have just begun this journey and have only recently started to take it seriously.

Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.
          I am starting to see some progress in kicking my sugar habit...it helps that all the Halloween candy is finally gone :)  I am also noticing some imporvements in how I now am beginning to act with intention vs. react...small changes, but positive ones :)

Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.
        In week three I said I wanted to increase my number of work out days to 15 per month and I am inching closer towards that goal.  I also said I wanted to meditate more often am having slow progress here...having a very hard time clearing my head latley.  Laslty, I said I wanted to volunteer and have yet to do anything about this :(

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 feel that I have finally made that connection of how important overall health is and that there is more to it than just my physical workout. I am now better able to act with intention, though not always. However, when I "react" I am more prone to notice it immediatly and try to make up for my mistakes. I am also learning how to forgive as well as admit when I am wrong. I have always had great difficulty with these, but I am finding that I am happier when I practice these actions. Feeling less bogged down by emotional baggage has helped me to feel better about myself and others and has increased my capacity for loving kindness!

I hope you all have had many positive experinces from this class as well!

  1. Hi Rose,
    It sounds like you have really made some great improvements in your life. Even though some may be small, or the progress to them is slow, at least you are making progress. Making progress is better then not making any at all. I too have a hard time saying that I am wrong about things and forgiveness is hard for me as well. I hope that you are able to obtain your goals. I also hope that you are able to be better at forgiveness and admitting your wrong doings. I wish you the best!
