Unit 10

   In reviewing my Unit 3 personal assessment of my psychological, physical and spiritual well being there are some things that have stayed and others that I feel I have increased in knowledge and thus applied a conscious focus on making changes.


  Psychological well being an 9. I have confidence in my opinions, even if they are contrary to the general consensus, I feel that it's important to have new experiences, trusting relationships with others and that I'm concerned about the welfare of others; I feel that I'm capable of giving strong empathy, affection to others & that I have a goal in life. I plan to apply more steps in using the five guiding principles to explore an integral approach to mental health, especially training my mind”. I would say this has remained status though my timing in mediation has increased, and my outlook in daily interactions has become focused on my well-being.


My spiritual well-being I had before was a 7. I feel that I've improved in this and can now say I'm at an level 8 I feel that focusing on looking more deeply and remembering that “Prayer is communication with the Absolute” (Schlitz, Amorok, & Micozzi, 2005) can help increase my rating and my spiritual wholeness.

My physical well being i rated myself a 10. I still feel that. I am still exercising regularly the programs and steps I've improved for myself and have gained.. I spent much needed time evaluating the issues that have held me back, and what I will do to further instill the goals I have put into place.

Spiritually before i had mention I wanted to explore and learn more with other cultures ways. This course has really made me more interested in other cultural spiritual exercises besides the Westernized approaches.

Psychologically- I had stated I wanted to practice the relaxation & meditation exercises, and to better skill of moving my blood from one area to another- as we read in the Schlitz, Amorok, and Micozzi text, this is helpful in more ways than one. “The mind can actually move blood as an aid to surgeons, the mind can alter bodily conditions to make breech conversions more likely, the mind can through meditation and visualization can quicken the results of standard therapy."
I have increased utilize in mind and body techniques. Yes, I do feel that I've implemented my well-being  I have indeed implemented activities for well being in each of the three areas. I am growing in training the mind- though meditation and through physical exercise. I am learning about eastern philosophy.I am embracing the moments of life and making cognitive choices with my time and life.

This has been a wonderful course to be in as it has made me a better person and I hope to implement and continue using these skills everyday in my life.
