Self Reflect Project

I Introduction:
Achieving health and wellness spiritually and physically is the ultimate responsibility of any professional when teaching others about wellness and health. Without the self-training and understanding of what health and wellness is about, it is hard to pass on the teachings to others. In my own personal life I need to focus on meditation and calming the mind. The day to day life can become overwhelming mentally, physically and spiritually and without the skill of knowing how to calm the mind it can lead to other health related problems that can occur due to mental stress.

II Assessment:
Health and wellness has always been important to me in life. However, like anything else in life there is a growing process in any area. Spiritually, physically and psychologically I feel I have a long ways to go. If I had to score myself at this time, I would score myself a 6 or 7 from a scale of 1-10. Overall, I believe I have passed the halfway line to knowing what I need to do in my life to have balance, peace and happiness through spiritual, physical and psychological training but have not reached the ultimate goal I should be at.

III Goal development:
The one thing I don’t have problems in life is setting goals. I believe without goals you have no future. Physically, I set a goal to improve my overall muscle tone of my body and focus on strength training to improve myself so it can help me not only physically but with dealing with others in my job and completing physical activities around the home and with my children. Psychologically, I struggle with this area due to hormone challenges. Hormone problems are directly connected with mental health and my day to day struggle with calming my mind challenges me to address sensitive issues with a clear and straight mind. Spiritually, my goal is to grow closer to what God wants me to be in life and the path he wants me to stay on. This spiritual path will also help me mentally and I believe when I accomplish that goal it will help me accomplish my psychological goal as well.

IV Practices for personal health:
Achieving my goals is pretty simple if you have a plan. Sticking to the plan is something that needs to be done to achieve each goal. Physically, I can only grow if I plan a routine exercise program that I stick to weekly and progress as the weeks go by. Psychologically, I need to take time out to calm the mind and meditate on a weekly basis and work my way to a daily routine. Spiritually, I attend church weekly on Sunday but need to take it to another level by joining a worship group or group study to have a better understanding of the things I don’t know in life.

V Commitment:
Assessing my progress for the next six months is very important. The one way I plan to track my progress is by writing things down. I keep a monthly calendar on my wall and in my purse. Every week I write down what I need to do and what I accomplished. This easy step might seem time consuming for some but not having something to look back on only makes it hard to see where you were and where you are now and what changes and accomplishments you have accomplished or progressed in.
