~The Last Ten Weeks....They Have Been Amazing~ Unit 10


Greetings!

            Well, over the course of this term, I have learned a great deal about myself! I learned about my limitations, but most importantly, I learned about my possibilities as an individual being! In the beginning of this course I scored my physical wellbeing as a level 8, my spiritual as a 7, and my psychological as a 9. Now…..thinking about the scores that I gave myself in Unit 3 of this 10 week course truly amazes me, because comparing those scores with that of the unit 9 assessments, well, I scored myself at about a 5 in all three areas (physical, spiritual, and psychological). The scores have most definitely changed and I would say this has occurred because while I learned more about myself, I also learned how much work I have left to do. I certainly wouldn’t say this is a bad thing, but I do think that through this process, it will help me achieve more manageable goals.

            Although, it would have been nice to see progress in the areas of goals that I had set for myself, I think that I have made some progress and will continue to do so as this is a major commitment, and also one that could be life long, therefore, goals may be larger and progress will only be seen over larger periods of time. In addition, I have not implemented the activities that I had chosen in order to increase my wellbeing in all three of these areas, but I do feel that, just as with all things, it will take time. However, I have the drive, the willpower, and the dedication to integrating integral health into my lifestyle and…..changes, well they are about to happen!!!

            Throughout this course I have developed a much deeper sense of self, and have also placed more value on the person that I am and the role that I play in this world; we all make a difference! I would say that I have definitely developed an improved wellbeing! This course has taught me more about the value of life in the last ten weeks than I had known for the last 30 years, and that knowledge is something to be cherished! I would say that the most rewarding part has been learning so much about myself and the renewed value that I have on life and the impact that I can make in this world. Throughout this journey, I would say that the most difficult thing has been incorporating these new habits into my life, but just like with breaking bad/old habits, it all takes time; this is a life changing event and it won’t happen overnight. I think that this experience will help me assist others in a much more dynamic way because it has provided me with insight into the soul and for what it may be searching for; which is true inner healing.

  3. I too feel the same way!!! Yes, you're right we all make a difference in this world. The problem is you have some people who think their difference means more than the next person and that is so wrong. Love one another, accept one another, appreciate one another. Don't worry about your habits...you will break the bad habits just start with incorporating the good ones and gradually ween yourself off of the bad ones. I remember I had a nasty coke zero habit. I actually quit cold turkey and it was hell but I made it. Now I don't even miss it. I drink seltzer water because it has carbonation too it but no more sodas. One bad habit down :0. Several more to go.

    Be blessed and good luck!!!!

  4. Hi Anna. I find it nice to wake up and think of new positive paths for the day and future. I think that is referred to as having hope. I like how you stated your rates in unit 3 and now you consider the rates lower because you have much more to pursue. That is a great philosophy. You sound nice and bubbly. I wish you the best on your adventure.

  5. Hi Anna,
    Great blog and a great outcome! I have also learned that I have more work to do. I think this class has made all of us think about life a little differently.
    Good Luck,
