Unit 10 Final thoughts

In reviewing unit three's personal assessment scores I had a 3-4 in the physical area, a 7-8 in spiritual wellness and 7-8 in the psychological/mental area. At first I didn't think that these scores would have changed from then to now but I have to say that they did a little. In the physical area I am still a 3-4 because I have not began any routine just yet (though coming VERY soon). I just had not made the effort to get up and move-I guess my motivation is just shy of actually doing it. Spiritually I would say that I am a solid 8 instead of the 7-8 range before. I feel good about this area of wellness but believe the growth that comes from life hasn't put me in a level higher than this because it is not time (everything has a season or divine timing). Mentally, I am an 8 also. For me, working on the spiritual strengthens my psychological and right now in life I am feeling calm and in control of what I am supposed to be in control of. I think that these changes occurred from the activities and materials from class which caused a greater sense of awareness.

The goals and activities I set in unit 3 for any of the areas of wellness I have not began yet but do feel like they are within my grasp. Beginning to walk and do yoga daily and meditation and spiritual reading were things that I listed and am still looking forward to doing. In my life I am really busy with work, family and school and it is for these reasons that I have not been able to engage in these activities or meet these goals. I am sure when school is over I will really be able to enjoy these things (hopefully way before).

I do feel like I have developed a better sense of wellbeing since taking this course because it gave me ideas and opened my mind and heart to healing myself and world. The class itself has been rewarding. I really wished that I had had the opportunity to spend more time getting into the class material instead of doing what was due for the week and look forward to reading the books again. The amount of work that we had to do was at time challenging but so unreasonable as I look back and realize that I did it (and it didn't kill me). This experience will improve my ability to help others because it opened my heart even more. I already believed in this integral healing thing but didn't know about it to this extent and it has changed how I take care of myself and how I can help others take care of themselves. Knowing the 3 different areas of focus-psychological, spiritual and physical wellness gives a great definition and guidelines to what needs to be taken care of for human flourishing. I love it!

Wishing everyone goodness and love
