Progress

I have reviewed my unit 3 personal assessment; in the psychological area I scored myself an 8, physically a 9, and spiritually an 8. I feel now that I scored myself too highly at that point. I think I was more at a 7 physically, 5 psychologically, and 5 spiritually. I was not doing anything to improve my spiritual and psychological areas like I am now. Now I would score myself a 9 physically, a 7 spiritually, and a 7 psychologically. I feel these areas have improved but still need more work. These areas have improved because I have been able to relieve my stress and ease my mind through mental practices. By continuing to do these practices, I will continue to improve these scores and my overall fitness.
I have made progress toward my personal goals. I continue to work out five or six times a week to improve my physical health. We also have been attending church every week. Although I cannot get involved in my church until we have been members for six months, we are still actively participating every Sunday. I also have been living more of a stress-free life by practicing meditation and letting many of the stresses of everyday life pass me by.
I plan to continue improving my goals and practicing these activities to live a healthier and more stress-free life.
I have learned a lot and improved my personal health greatly throughout this course. I have been able to become more in touch with my self and have improved my overall well-being. It has been rewarding to see the difference in the amount of stress I have. I used to get bothered by little things that really weren't important, but now I am able to relax my mind through meditation. It was difficult at first to connect with the exercises we did in class and to get much out of them, but after practicing them I was able to relax and learn from them. This will help me to assist others by helping them understand how much better they will feel if they can control their stress. I can explain the importance of practicing these exercises and try to help them improve their overall fitness as well.
