Introductions:
Health and Wellness is the basics of human life. Many people strive to achieve this complete health and wellness, throughout their lives. For a professional in the health and wellness field the need to practices the areas of psychological, spiritual, and physical. This creates a relationship between professional and client. A relationship of trust, a bond of understanding, and respect.
I believe that I will need to continue on this path for the rest of my life. That each day learning more about me and those around me will create my own happiness and my own peace. Participating in yoga classes, meditation sessions, physical exercises, and nutritional consciousness.
Assessment:
My own health in each of these domains, I would score at a 5 (on a scale of 1 to 10). I say this because I know I need to grow in each of the categories (psychological, spiritual and physical). I feel as though we never really done learning about ourselves, our lives, and our bodies. There is always room for improvement.
Goals:
Physical: To become physically fit and finally lose the weight I have struggled with for the last 10 years.
Psychological: Continue to flourish. To develop into a women who I and my family can be proud of.
Spiritual: To become in touch with my Angels, who are guiding me down this path of wellness. To learn how to see to the signs and messages they provide to me. To pass those messages along to who they belong to.
Practices and Personal Health:
I want to begin running again. I enjoy being alone out in the park with just my thoughts (and my ipod). Seeing my physical accomplishments as each day I run a little longer a little further. Creating a clean eating environment will help to cleanse my body of processed foods and unwanted chemicals. Participating in yoga classes, allows my mind and body to sync together. Stopping and seeing the beauty of the day and how glorious it truly beautiful this Earth is.
Commitment:
Over the next six months I plain on taking it one week at a time. Scheduling time alone for me. Alone meaning, my time at the gym, or my time in the kitchen (baking healthy treats), or my time at the park. Accepting that it is ok for “me” time. Excepting that I am not “super women”, that I cannot do ever all I have placed on my own plate. Sometimes less is more.
Hi Susan!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great positive mind, and you seem to be getting to the point of optimal motivation. I am sorry to hear that you have been struggling with weight management for 10 years, that has got to be a long journey for you. 2 years ago, I was overweight, I didn't see to that until I saw myself in a group picture with friends and I told myself, Oh my gosh!! How did I let myself get to this point? From than, I joined weight watchers, which I feel personally is a great program, I went to the classes with other woman and men and I was taught how to eat-proportions and how to eat in moderation. With no exercise and just eating right, I had lost 20 LBS, its crazy to think of the way we eat, has such a big impact. I than started exercises, doing light jogging-about four months into that I had lost a total of 35 LBS. I was so proud of myself and now its been 2 years and I am still maintaining the same weight-by eating right, watching my portions and jogging.
I hope perhaps my story has inspired you a little, but what ever I feel I have room to give advice or an opinion, I will. I love the direction that you come from with spiritualism, as I too believe in angels and all of the Above. Good luck to you Susan with your journey!!
You are right we never stop learning about ourselves. We grow and change all the time.
ReplyDeleteI like your plan of taking it one week at a time. We didn't become the people we are over night, so it is impossible to change habits over night.
Best wishes.
Your project is very honest and original, great job! I really think it is great that you have not reached your ceiling yet within the integral health approach. I am similar to you that I need to improve upon my physical wellness, that really takes much commitment. Good luck in your progression towards integral health.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your assignment. I particularly liked your physiological goal of developing into someone you and your family are proud of. You have a great outlook and attitude. Taking things one step at a time is taking that step forward. When I find myself having a particularly bad day, I remind myself that I can try again tomorrow.
