The final assesment

Hello Everyone

As a health and wellness professional, we need to have to have developed psychologically, spiritually, and physically. We can’t teach someone how to reach this, without have reached it yourself. If we can’t reach it our self’s, how can we teach others. I am still working on all three. I have a lot of work to do, but I am determined to get it done.

                I score myself very low. I need to start working out, I have a workout plan in place, I just need to get up and do it. For the psychologically and spiritually, I have no clue to where to even start. I have a lot of work to do, but I am starting to make a plan in place. I want to reach a level of complete health and wellness.

                For the physical part of this, I want to start work out 5 days a week, I would like to do insanity. At least for one month, then do other workouts. I feel like if I start the insanity then I can jump start working out. I did it before, it’s a fun workout, but hard. For the psychological part, I want to find a relaxation tape that works on relaxing my body, and start doing that 3 days a week, to try to relieve my stress level. I have a lot of personal stuff going on, that I need to control and stop letting them control me. For the spiritual part, to be honest I have no idea what to do. I don’t know where to even start.

                The only way to be able to reach this is to just do it. I have a problem with psyching myself out. I can do it later, oh I don’t feel good, and I am too tired. I can come up with a thousand reasons, but then I remember how good I feel when I am working out. I feel like I am on top of the world, like no matter what comes at me I can take on the world.

                I am going to take pictures of myself, every other week. I am also going to start a journal that way I can track my progress. I feel like this is very important to make sure you track yourself. When you write things out, you can see what your progress is, and even where you are lacking at. Knowing what I want to reach is the only way I know to do it.

Reviewing

Hello everyone

I hope everyone has had a great weekend.

When looking at all of the exercise that we have done. I think the two that I can reflex on are Loving-kindness and visualization. Loving-kindness is like opening your heart, and letting people in. Also visualization was one that I really liked. I can't remember if we talked about forgiveness over the blogs, but I really like that one. It has to be my favorite because forgiveness true forgiveness is hard to come by and hard to do but we all need to.

Practice what you teach

Hello everyone

I hope everyone has had a great day, and a happy thanksgiving.

In order for someone to actually listen to you about fitness and nutrition. If you are not leading a healthy lifestyle how can you get somebody else to. You can't teach something that you don't even practice. You can't tell someone that they need to loose weight so they are healthier, when you are bigger then they are. I mean you can but people wont really take you seriously.  You can't teach what you don't practice. Everyday I try to grow with my life in all aspects. I am slowly getting there.

Mediation Practice

Hello Everyone

Universal Loving-kindness

It was kind of weird when I was doing this exercise, I felt a relief. To the people that have hurt me or has disappointed me. I don't what you are suppose to feel when you do these types of thing. I know that I need to practice on forgiving people and hoping for them to be well in life. I should want the same things with my self.

Integral Assessment

I didn't get much out of this one. I didn't completely understand this one. I know that I got a lot to work on.

Subtle Mind

Hello Everyone

I hope everyone is having a great week.

I like the love and kindness one a lot better. I had a hard time with the subtle mind. It was more annoying. I just wanted to turn it off. I felt very frustrated al the way through the exercise.

Loving Kindness

Hello Everyone

I didn't get much of this. I started to, I started this exercise and with the waves felt relax, and very loved. Then my mind started to go off on other things. I just need to learn to let my head relax, and quite thinking about the things I need to do. I think it would work fine for others, I just have a hard time letting go. I did notice that with this one I let go more then I have in the past. So maybe I am going to start to be able to do this.

Pysical, Spiritual, and Psychology wellbeing

Hello Everyone

To start off I hope every one's week is going great!! Mine has been good, getting a lot of things done.

1.) When talking about my physical well being I would rate myself at a 4, this because I am not very physical fit. When talking about my spiritual well being  would rate myself at a 3, I don't feel connected to myself. When talking about physchological well being at a 6, this is my best because I can usually handle things very well.

2.) My goal is to start walking or jogging for 3 to 4 days a week for 45 minutes. I need to start doing this because this helps with everything, how I feel how I act. Everything!!

3.) I just got to make myself do it. There is no other way that I am going to do it unless I push myself.

4.) Like I have said in the past relaxation tapes don't work for me. What does work is turning my music up with a glass of wine in the tub, or dancing around like no one is looking. That is how I can relax.

Good luck for the week!!!!

Sally
