Hello!
Unit 3 Assessment:
Physical well-being 8 – I am a runner, during the winter
months I run to maintain since I do not care for the cold weather. My goal here
is to run harder and longer in the spring to prepare for the Marine Corps
Marathon in Washington D.C. this coming fall.
Spiritual well-being 6 – I need to devote more time and
focus to this area of my life by setting aside time each day to reading the
Bible and practicing my breath.
Psychological well-being 8 – My physical and spiritual are
not where they could be so I believe this affects this area of my well-being.
Unit 10 Assessment:
Physical well-being 8 – Although spring has yet to arrive I have
already begun training for my third half marathon. I have not rated myself
higher in this area because I know I am capable of more physically. By the beginning
of April a 13 mile run should feel like a 5 mile run so, until then I will keep
the same rating as unit 3.
Spiritual well-being 7 – I have devoted more time to reading
the Bible and meditation so I rated myself a bit higher in this area from last
time.
Psychological well-being 9 – I set goals for myself physically
and spiritually in unit 3 to which I have just about achieved. I feel better psychologically
and have more balance in my life therefore; I added a point from unit 3’s
rating.
This course has given me the tools so that I may be able to grow
in mind, body and spirit. I have been able to improve my well-being through mediation
exercises; even when some of those exercises have proven to be difficult. However,
I believe the greatest gift of all has been learning how to quite the mental
chatter; an experience that I am eager to pass on to others!!

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI think that you have some good ideas as to what will help you further develop spiritually. It seems as though your physical and psychologically well being are at levels that you can be satisfied with but it is still good to have goals for maintainence. You mentioned that reading the bible and meditation can help you towards your goals in spiritual development. Does reading the bible help alter your views of current stressors? I know that prayer does that for me.
Over all, I think this is a great start to your health and wellness plan.
Good Luck to you!
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteYour insight throughout class has been awesome. I really think the utmost benefit I have gotten from this class is also quietting the mental chatter. It would take me hours to fall asleep due to the fact I could not turn my mind off, but with these exercises in class I have really managed to be able to do this and I am eternally grateful. I hope you get to run the marathon in D.C that would be quite an adventure and I wish you the best of luck!

Hello Michelle,
ReplyDeleteIt is aweomse that you are on your third half marathon. I want to one day do a marathon. Running in the winte can be tough for me though because of all the snow. I find that when I am exercising that I am more prone to pay attention to the other aspects of my health like meditating.
Hello Michelle,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on setting up goals for yourself. I can tell you how this class has taught me how to take care of myself the proper way. I have been training for my 10K in April and this will be my first one. I do well when I set goals for myself and work towards it. Good luck in your life and I know you can do it. Stay motivated!!!
Hi Michelle, You are on a wonderful path to fulfilling your goal to participate in the marathon. You are inspirational! I am confident you will continue on the path that you have selected for each of your areas of well-being. Stay strong! Candii
ReplyDeleteThat is great that you have improved and working to better integral health. You are an inspairation to me. Good luck with your marathon.
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteyou are making good progress with your health and wellness goals. I think that the fact that your scores improved in just seven weeks should show you that there is endless potential to what this can do for your life. I agree with you that this course gives you the tools to relax your mind and actually strategize to find solutions to issues.
Good luck to you!
