Unit 10 – Blog Post




·       Review your unit 3 personal assessment of your psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. Reflect on these areas. How did you score yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 in unit 3? How do you score yourself now? Has the score changed? Why or why not?

o   I initially scored myself as five on both psychological and physical.  On spiritual, I would rate myself a seven.  If I were to rate myself today, I would be a five on physical, seven on psychological and eight on spiritual.  I feel as if my psychological and spiritual attributes have grown as a result of this class.  Having achieved some validation on the direction I am headed along with the knowledge and experience I gained, all helped to advance me in these areas.  The physical has not change significantly and still remains an area for improvement.

·       Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.

o   My goal was to ultimately be a ten in each area.  I am making progress in the right direction, but not currently there.

·       Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.

o   I actually remained stagnant in the activities I set for myself; however, I was consistent in the areas where I mentioned I was currently active.  Organization is a challenge for me and I have to admit that I forgot about the activities I set for myself.  I added them to my permanent list of goals and will revisit daily to check my progress.

·      Summarize your personal experience throughout this course. Have you developed improved well-being? What has been rewarding? What has been difficult? How will this experience improve your ability to assist others?

o   I believe that the way to help others is through self-improvement.  It’s like being the change you want to see.  I grew exponentially from this experience.  It was a full circle moment when at the end we realized that we are everything we are looking for. All the healing, all the love, all the light and all the peace, resides within.  The perspective on healing and the path to human flourishing was refreshing and presented from a viewpoint that was new to me.  I also enjoyed how spirituality is merging with science and becoming mainstream.  Overall, it was a wonderful experience and by far, the best class I ever took!  It was like being graded for my willingness to grow and evolve spiritually…a true blessing!

  1. Hello DeLeon, It was very interesting how this course as well as all of my other heath and wellness courses put me in a place of self assessment with the goal of improving my own personal health throughout the course. It was a way to put what we were learning to use right away using ourselves as a client. Personal growth is important and so is improved health. I found that I learned so much more by putting my knowledge to good use tweaking my lifestyle. Good luck reaching your goals and makeing them a lifestyle so that you do not forget them. Enjoy your path.

  2. DeLeon,

    I am so glad you enjoyed this class and was able to learn from it. I want to encourage you to pursue the goals you have set for yourself and to continue on a healthy path to healing. If you do not mind, I would like to give you a few tips that have helped me in the past and presently to stay organized. First, before the week begins I set up a to-do list that I have to accomplish at the end of the week, whether that is homework, errands, or leisure time. Also, having a calendar with me at all times has helped immensely. I always carry one in my purse so that way if an appointment comes up while I am out or something has been canceled I can jot it down right then. I know on most cell phones there is a calendar or notepad that you are able to use.
    I hope this helps and I wish you all the luck for the future.

  3. DeLeon, I too learned so much about living a healthy life, not just physically, but mentally, and spiritually too. I found the Dacher book easy to read and very motivating. In reading your post I especially like your comment on how we are everything we are looking for....it is all within ourselves and not only is it our choice to become the very best in all areas, but it is ours that no one can take from us. This class did feel like a blessing and a regrouping of a sense. Take care and God Bless your journey toward human flourishing:) kelsy

  4. DeLeon,
    I too have not met all my goals, but I am headed in the right direction. We just need to keep pushing forward even though this class has come to an end for us. You are right, all is within us. Good luck to you and keep reaching for your goals!

  5. Hello DeLeon:


    I too believe that the way to help others is through self-improvement. If you have learned how to improve significant areas of your personal life and professional life, you will certainly be able to help others. This entire course has actually been a blessing for me. I have learn so much more about myself and how to improve certain areas of myself and life that I did not know how to improve before taking this course. I'm that you enjoyed how spirituality is merging with science and becoming mainstream. I definitely agree that it was truly a wonderful experience. What we have learned in the course, we can take with us wherever we may go. I enjoyed reading your Blog DeLeon and with you the very best that life has to offer you.

    Be Blessed Always,

    Anthony
