Unit 10 I can't believe this is the last week of class


Back in Unit 3 of this course we did a reflection score based on a self-assessment of what we needed to work on for our blog and I gave myself these scores.   A-physical well being (my score was a 5), B-spiritual well-being (my score was an 8), C-psychological well-being (my score was a 5) and I still feel that these scores are an accurate assessment of my development thus far.

I feel as though I have started to make progress on the goals I have set for myself in unit 3 and these are some of the things I have set in motion to reach those goals.  Physical-have already started walking daily to help with this goal. I have also started taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator and parking my care in the furthest spot away from the entrance (it’s a least a 10 minute walk to the hospital from my parking space).  Spirit- like I said going to back to church regularly since my schedule changed this past month has really helped strengthen my faith and I am also using meditation and the loving kindness exercise daily to help my spiritual growth.  It is nice to start the day with a positive outlook and end the day with a relaxing attitude.  Psychological- I’m still going to re-evaluate my stance at the end of the year.

I would have to say that my experiences in this class have been for the most part a positive growth in my own personal development.  It gave me a new perceptive to view the world in and I have to say that I’m happier now with my new outlook.  The meditation that I use daily has really affected my stress levels to where I’m not as frustrated at work or with my family as I used to be.  It is helping me become a more positive person.  It has made me realize that life is way too short to be angry and upset all the time.  Look for joy and love a guess what you will find it.  I can't believe this is the last week of class, I had fun with this class and it taught me a lot about myself (not all of it pleasant but honest) and I wish everyone in class the best for their future endeavors.
