INTRODUCTION:
It is very important to practice what we preach. This is the
basis for not only integrity, but for believability. Psychologically, we need
to be in balance and calm along with the understanding of letting the bad or
passing ideas just pass. I like the way of letting them come into my head now
and just being aware then letting them go without pondering over them.
Spiritually, we must believe there is a higher being. Not being religious, but
just to believe I or we are just here and there is a higher being or level. We
must believe to help others believe. Then there is the physical. A healthy mind
leads to a healthy body. If a person is morbidly obese, it is hard to tell
someone who is overweight to lose weight or if someone smokes, then who are
they to tell someone else to quit. There has to be believability to what one
says or teaches.
ASSESSMENT:
My assessment of myself has changed. I feel I have a better
understanding psychologically and can deal with stress much better. Here I feel
I may be an 8/10. There is more to improve, but I feel I am in a better place
than I was at the beginning of this course. Physically I am the same. I eat as
I please and when I please. I am not in the best of shape but I see myself as
happy as I am so I don’t feel as though I should change. My rating of
spiritually is also the same. I am not religious and do not push my beliefs
onto anyone but I do believe in a higher being and I feel like heaven may be a real
destination. As far as I know, it could just be when I get to the inner peace I
am striving for.
GOAL DEVELOPMENT: 3
My personal goal physically is to maintain a happy weight and
continue to do things in the great outdoors. I love to camp, fish, and to
mingle with the wildlife in the forests. If I am able to do that, then I can
maintain my goal. Spiritually, I would like to enjoy my faith and believe I can
be better than I think I am. I also would like to help others understand they
can be better people and help one another. Psychologically, I want to gain more
peace and loving-kindness towards my fellow human being. I still get frustrated
and angry at the trivial things and even if I know that it is wrong, it still
happens.
PRACTICES FOR PERSONAL
HEALTH:
Growth in these domains remains a mystery to me. Physically,
I want to maintain what I do. I plan on attempting yoga to stretch and focus. I
really like meditation to relax and understand what has happened and this helps
me refocus on what is important. This will help me psychologically as well as physically,
I think.
COMMITMENT:
How I am doing in the next 6 months will determine how well I
feel. I am planning a hiking trip to the state park which is one of my favorite
places. Here I will believe whether physically I am better and psychologically
I am planning on practicing meditation so I believe that my moods will be
better and more relaxed. This I am looking forward to. Maintaining this will be
easy I feel. The better I feel, the more I will want. This is just as addicting
as anything else.
