Final Project--Unit 9 :)

I Introduction: Why is it important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically? What areas do you need to develop to achieve the goals you have for yourself?

In order to help others, one must improve their lives. Health and wellness professionals must first know how to deal with their personal issues. With experience the act of helping others becomes second nature. With a balance of spiritual and physical wellness a health care professional can produce healing for others. I need personally to improve in the area of physical awareness. I know I lack in this area. Yet, through Integral Health, I have learned how to flourish, and become a more physical person.
II Assessment:How have you assessed your health in each domain? How do you score your wellness spiritually, physically, and psychologically?

I have assessed my physical well being, I rate it at a 4. I have come to this assessment because I am not physically active on an everyday bases it’s not a joy (yet), it’s a chore!!! So, for that reason, I will rescore my assessment to 3 and a half. Spiritually, I am really on point, I have learned to meditate an focus as well as find a common ground in releasing all stress related issues that may hinder my spiritual growth. I rate my spiritual growth a 9. Psychologically, I am doing fine due to my spiritual growth. I rate my psychological well being at a 9. I have learned to relax and just give life a moment to unfold before I start running mentally like a live wire. I listen to ocean music (sounds). YES! It is music to my mind, body, and soul. I feel renewed!!! I would recommend anyone regardless of their occupation, to take a course in Integral Health.
III Goal development:List at least one goal you have for yourself in each area, Physical, Psychological (mental health) and Spiritual.

I have set goals that I plan to accomplish and apply to my everyday life for the rest of my life. Spiritually, my prayer life ( I need to spend more time in prayer). I have decided to form a morning routine built around stretching, meditating, and prayer.

Physically, I have decided to walk more everyday, at least a mile and half while meditating on positive physical flourishing, and focusing on positive change in my personal life.

Psychologically, I need to just reflect and realize that if I believe in a higher power there should not be any hindrances in my life. Jesus is my source, and the lover of my soul. I must trust in God, and not allow worldly aggravation to hinder my peace of mind. Stay calm and worry free are the blessings of learning to relax and meditate due to Integral Health.

IV Practices for personal health:What strategies can you implement to foster growth in each of the following domains; Physical, Psychological, and Spiritual. Provide at least two examples of exercises or practices in each domain. Explain how you will implement each example.

I can walk more listening to music such as; ocean (relaxation) music as I walk. I can also exercise using a positive focus point, in order to strengthen my will power to become physically strong. Yoga is another physical form of exercise that will help improve my physical well being. I can take this class in the evenings and come home and meditate there after producing a mental and physical balance.

Psychological, I find peace in nature, painting, and writing poems. I find mental peace doing all of these forms of artistic expression. I have learned to meditation, due to the Dacher CD. Life is good!! (LOL) I use the CD on a daily bases. I find myself mentally ready to deal with the world and all of the issues that come along with it.

Spiritually, I plan to find a time throughout the day to stop what I am doing and find a seat and a comfortable position, and begin to connect with God through prayer three times out of the day. I do this all the time, but I never sit and pause and pray. I will start. I will have quiet moments with Christ.V Commitment:How will you assess your progress or lack of progress in the next six months? What strategies can you use to assist in maintaining your long-term practices for health and wellness?

I plan to continue to use my blog and express my Integral Health issues. I shall also discuss my downfalls as well as my accomplishments. Whether physical, spiritual, and/ or psychological for the next 6 months. Through blogging, I think, I can stay focused and further what I have learned in the past 9 weeks. Integral Health is an awesome way to live life. If you can be open minded and ready for positive change.
