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!
I think I bit off more than I could chew with this course. I jumped into this course two weeks after it started (I had to get it approved by the dean). That means I'm taking 18 hours of college, have a full time job, my new son was born last week, and just moved over 1000 miles. I need a break. I was going to do the same thing next semester but I had to drop a class. As much as I'd like to continue so that I can graduate sooner, I need to allocate the time to be with my family. I guess that is one thing I learned from the course for sure: the values of being with my family cannot be ignored in exchange for the value of having my degree earlier. Lesson learned.
