Unit 10 Final Blog

My personal assessment at the beginning of the term was a very straight forward out come.  Looking at my life in the spiritual, physical, and psychological domains, I can rate myself in each category on a 1 to 10 scale with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best.  Earlier in the term I gave myself a rating of 6 physically, but I also gave myself an 8 if the rating was based on appearance solely.  Spiritually I gave myself a rating of 4 and psychologically I gave myself a rating of 8.  Looking at my life now I would still give myself the same ratings as before.   I feel that these ratings have not improved over this short period of time.  I know that with some time and effort these ratings will increase dramatically. 

My goal for my physical, spiritual, and psychological wellness is to maintain where I am at and gradually get better in all areas.  I can’t really set a goal for these areas because I feel a limit cannot be put on these types of things.  I really want to focus on getting my spiritual well being at a better level so that I can be closer to God and be able to live a very good life.  During this term I feel that I have not made great progress in reaching this goal but I have put forth effort to do so.  As I stated before this will take time and a time limit cannot be placed on these types of things. 

The goals that I set to improve my physical, spiritual, and psychological wellness have been a challenge for me.  I have gradually tried to implement these goals into my life but as I previously stated my busy schedule has stopped me from doing so.  Once my load is lightened up I do plan to implement these things and reach my goal. 

Throughout this course I have learned so many things.  I have learned how to open my mind to new things and how to accept different types of people.  The exercises practiced in this course helped me to relax and become stress free.  My favorite exercise was the subtle mind exercise.  I helped me to know that I can be great and do great things.  The subtle mind exercise has helped me to step out and do the things that I think are not a fit for me but I want to do.  This experience will allow me to show others how to open up and teach them the different meditation techniques that will help them to be stress free and to have an open mind.
