Unit 10 blog

I would have rated myself a 5 out of 10 in the beginning of this course.  There are areas in my life that need changing before I can advise others on health and wellness.  Now that we are approaching the end of our ten week course, I would rate myself as 7 out of 10. I am not where I want to be yet before I advise others but I am working to reach my goals for my personal lifestyle changes.  When I examine myself I see the desires of my heart. I see that I want better and I will always strive for better regardless of what life throws my way.I need to train my brain to retain what important verses is remembering random things that do not do any good but take up space in my brain. My physical health is improving. I will start working on a daily schedule of exercises. I am already making healthier eating choices. Examining myself and ways to make it me a better me, has helped me realize that I like who I am and that loving myself is one of the most important things I can do in life. People should learn how to appreciate their own company. I am thankful for this course because it has allowed me to refocus on what is important in life. To help me stay committed I plan to share my goals with friends and family so that they can help me stay the path. Since I intend to continue blogging I will post updates probably on the first of every month (easy to remember) that will highlight new things that I am doing and reflect on what I am not doing.  I have shown my blog to my husband and he thinks it is a great idea.  My husband and my children love to write so they will also blog. If I don't take care of myself nobody else will. I will document my progression as time goes on so that in six months from now I can go back and review.  I plan to make life changes not short term goals with this. It is not always easy to do when you are a military spouse with four children and going to college but hey, I can do this!

 

 

 

Unit 9

Health and Wellness educators should "practice what they preach".  If they are not applying what they know to their daily lives they will acting hypocritically and their clients will have a hard time taking them seriously.  You have to lead by example.  A person can't advice someone if they do not know what it is like to live in their shoes.    When I examine myself I see the desires of my heart.  I see that I want better and I will always strive for better regardless of what life throws my way.  My spiritual goal is to connect closer with God.  Read my bible daily and pray throughout the day.  My psychological state needs some work.  I need to train my brain to retain what is important verses remembering random things that do not do any good but take up space in my brain.  My physical health is improving.  I will start working on a daily schedule of exercises.  I am already making healthier eating choices.  Examining myself and ways to make it me a better me, has helped me realize that I like who I am and that loving myself is one of the most important things I can do in life.  People should learn how to appreciate their own company.  I am thankful for this course because it has allowed me to refocus on what is important in life.  My health and wellness practices were slipping and needed work.  If I don't take care of myself nobody else will.  It is not always easy to do when you are a military spouse with four children and going to college but hey, I can do this!

           

          

          

  

          

Unit 8

The exercises I have enjoyed the most are Journey on Relaxation and Universal Loving Kindness. Journey on Relaxation is one of my favorite. The narrators’ voice are calming. I have reflected on family members living and past away.  I love being able to reflect and focus my attention on what is important in life.  Connecting with my inner spirit has been a positive change in my life in the right direction.  My life can be crazy like everyone elses, especially with four children in the home yet I am so blessed to have the life that I have.  These exercises have also brought that to my attention and for that I am grateful.
