My Journey Throughout this Course


How I have believe I have improved during this course since beginning of this course has brought me to a understanding of the connection between mind, body and spirit; and the ways to reach happiness, wellness and overall optimal health in my life.  As I look at unit 3 I obviously did not do this blog correctly but I believe I can return mentally back to where I was in the beginning of this course I could correctly assess my psychological, physical and spirituality.  I would say in physical wellbeing I would have given myself around a 3, spiritually an 8 and psychologically probably a 4.  I my physical wellbeing has definitely improved to at least a 7, I base this on the weight loss of 18 pounds, and how much my blood pressure has lowered.  Spiritually I believe my score has stayed around an 8 because I believe to reach my optimal health in this area I need to get back into going to church for the fellowship I can have something I used to experience when I used to go.  Psychologically speaking I believe I have improved and I would give myself around a six, I still am dealing with some depression issues and not feeling totally connected in my mind; but with medication, counseling and prayer along with meditation and exercise I definitely see this area continuing to improve.

My Goals in psychological area is to clear my mind of unnecessary chatter, and to find a total overall sense of peace.  My goal spiritually has not improved because I wanted to start going back to church for more fellowship.  But I have continued on with my Bible reading.  Physically I have lost 18 pounds and have got my blood pressure down.  But I still need to implement exercise at least 3x a week into my life at least beginning with 10 to 20 minutes a day.  So I definitely have areas in which I can improve on; so as I continue on with my total wellness in mind, body and spirit I believe I can reach happiness, wholeness in mind, body and spirit.

My personal experience in this course has made me more aware of the connection of mind, body and spirit; as well as the steps that I can implement in my life to achieve optimal wholeness and happiness in my life.  So this has helped me develop the sense of “self” that somewhere I have lost.  And I now no that this is possible to reach the happiness in my life that I have seemed to have lost.  The only thing I felt that was difficult at times is getting myself into the state of mind to meditate and bring myself to a sense of overall peace.  I believe what I have learned throughout this course will assist others by learning th practice what I preach, and help them find happiness in mind, body and spirit.  Also I can teach them what them what they may be able to do to achieve this in their lives.
