In the previous units I assessed my psychological wellbeing at 6, spiritual wellbeing at 7 and my physical wellbeing at 8. At this point I would say that everything is about the same. I have made efforts to stick with many of the goals that I set forth for myself previously and some have been met more completely than others.
I had wanted to start praying daily to improve my spiritual wellness and I am happy to say that I have been doing it. Through practicing daily prayer I believe that it has made me more grateful for all the wonderful things in my life because I am making a daily effort to recognize those things and give thanks for them. To improve my psychological wellbeing I had wanted to spend more time with family and friends. This has proved a challenging experience as we entered the final weeks of term and recent changes to my work schedule. However, I do look forward to the upcoming break which will be filled with fun activities with loved ones. For my physical wellbeing I was working toward improving my strength and endurance for an upcoming endurance event and I am happy to report that I am on tract. The event is in a couple weeks and I look forward accomplishing this goal that I have set forth.
Overall I feel that this course has created a new awareness of the strength that our mind holds over all aspects of our lives. Maintaining a balance between the mind, body and spirit is essential to promote integral health and this course has provided me with many tools to improve my wellbeing. I have enjoyed learning about all the research that is being performed linking all aspects of the individual to their health and will continue to research and learn more on this topic. While I have found it challenging to implement many of the exercises that we have learned into my daily routine I do feel that they can still be useful tools to draw upon in the future.
