Unit 9 Final Project

Hello for the last time:(
Here is my final project I hope you enjoy it

Introduction

It is important for a health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually, and physically techniques because it is beneficial for human flourishing. A professional needs to practice what they preach. It gives them a deeper understanding of themselves and it makes expectations clear to others what is expected of them. I really believe that wellness is not theory but a way of life. In order to really understand what wellness truly means you must live that life style to the best of your ability. You must have a deep connection with your mind, body, and soul to fully understand how to heel yourself and others. These concepts are necessary to achieve lasting holistic health, which are health, happiness, and wholeness. If we cannot remove the causes of human suffering, we will gain freedom from needless, suffering, we can create a good foundation for human well-being. To achieve this first you must train the mind to a more positive way of thinking.  Research studies show that mental training can transform the mind by reducing emotions like anger, fear, worry, or doubt into positive emotions like love and kindness. The confusion and misunderstanding, can untrain the mind and you became unfocused. If we can learn to train our minds to replace disturbing mental activities with love kindness, this will allow us to develop our consciousness through contemplative practice and your other capacities through a comprehensive program of integral practice. As a result of following these steps you will be more clam, gain discerning wisdom, and have an open heart. When you tie all of these principles together the final goal would be to place all life on a direct and proper path to human flourishing. From integral health we learn how to move with confidence and clarity, which lead to wholeness. This relates to my profession because I can take these tools that I have learned and incorporate them into my daily practices. If I can learn how to follow these principles, I can treat people in a way that is rewarding to the person I’m healing and myself. For myself spiritually is the strongest aspect for because I feel I have achieve all my goals for my spiritually. My psychological health is also pretty stable although sometimes I let my anxiety get the best of me but it under control. The one area I can improve on is the physically. It not that I live an unhealthy life but out of all the area I know I can do better. This area has always been a struggle for me because of my eating habits. It not that I eat junk food all day but I can make better choices about the foods I decide to put in my body. I want to get to a point where I balance my food choices to make healthier food decisions. I know I am always saying you need to also exercise the mind but I sometimes I forget the physically aspect of exercising.

Assessment

This class has made me think a lot about where I stand and rate myself in each of these areas. I would rate my psychological health on a scale from 1-5 with five being the most at a 4. This area I am pretty well rounded for me but I still struggle with anxiety. This is something that I have struggled with for a long time and everyday I found myself learning to cope with this condition. I find that mediation may anxiety level has dropped way down but it is still a struggle everyday for me.

I would rate my spiritually level at a 5. It seems like this is an area that most people struggle with on a daily bases but for me this area comes really easy for me. I have always been a very spiritual person but I also believe that certain people in this world are spiritually connected to a high being and you must help others with spiritually that struggle and I feel like I am one of these people that can help. I get so many people in my life that come to me for spiritual guidance and I am so happy to guild them in the right direction that seems fit for them.

I would rate my physically level at a 3. I know that I am a pretty healthy person but I can defiantly do more physical exercises. Most people tend to forget that you mind also need to physical work out which I have achieved but I still struggle with the physical aspect of working out.

Goal Development

This class has put in perspective all the goals I want to achieve for myself personally and professionally. One goal that I have for my psychological is to not let my anxiety get the best of me. I have to learn that I will never get rid of all my anxiety completely but I have learn how to reflect that negative energy in a different direction that is more beneficial to my health. I know that spiritually is not a big problem for me but I would like to strengthen my spiritually with a goal of helping others find their spiritually. To do this I want to get involve with my church at lease once a week. The last goal  I have for myself  is that I would love to improve on would be the physically aspect of my health. I would like to do more cardio at least twice a week

Practices for Personal Health

I order to help me with my anxiety I want to keep a journal with me at all times and when I have some anxiety coming on I can get those thoughts and feeling out right away so I can move on with my life in a more positive way. I also use mediation as a tool for coping with my anxiety. I mediate all most everyday of my life but I want to try to start and end my day with mediation. I see that when I do this I feel like my anxiety though out my day is less likely to take over. Most of the time I just mediate when I feel some anxiety coming on and it helps but I feel like the damage as already set in with a negative affect.  I have so many thoughts going though my head every minute of the day and I want to use my journal and my mediation as a way to direct my energy in a more positive way.

My church offers a program that helps people that are lost with spiritually find their way so they do not feel lost anymore. I would be a spiritually guilder to many different people and be there for them in any way I can. I want to make these types of connection because it is important for me to have a great foundation when I comes to my career goals. This step would be great practice for what I want to do with my career. On a more personally I would like to attend church more. I feel that when I go to church my week is more fulfilling and more positive even if I’m having a bad week.

 I’m always trying to heel my mind I sometimes forget about the physical aspect of things. I live right by a trail and would want to do some light running at lease twice a week. I also want to start on weight training as well. I have a friend who is a personal train and he will help me with my weight lifting twice a week. I always taught that weight training is not for me but I also realized that if I want to get my body on shape it is an essential part of working out and being healthy. I also want to watch the type of foods I am putting into my body. I have a big problem with carbs and my sugar intake. I want to cut back on these particular types of foods that are high in sugar. I know I can’t cut out all sugar from my diet but I want to make an affect to cut back on my sugar intake. I want to pick two days out of the week not where I’m not allowed to have any sugar at all in my diet.

Commitment

I will assess my progress in the next 6 months by keeps a journal for each area I want to approve on. I know I will not have time everyday to track my progress so I will make a commit to track my goals at lease once a week. This will be a great tool that I use not only for myself but once I start working in this field it is something that I can offer my patients. I think this is the most important step for human flourishing. You can make all these goals for yourself but if you don’t make that commitment you will not get very far.
