Unit 9 Final Project


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.
