Developing psychological, spiritual, and physical health is the key to a wholesome and happy life. Health and wellness professionals should consider this lifestyle first and foremost for themselves because once they have acquired this lifestyle; it becomes very easy to share it with your clients. When you have maintained a fulfilled health, you can really show your clients the true strength you have and that can be quite influential on them.
As far as my physical, spiritual, and psychological I think I am well on the right track to creating a very healthy Sarah. My physical well being was already well on its way to being fulfilled but as for my psychological and spiritual health, that has taken some work.
One goal I have for myself physically is to be able to run 10 miles. I am starting this December 1st and will start out very gradually with only a few miles at a time. I would like to be able to run this by February 1st. I am giving myself 2 months because it is a very difficult thing for me but I will definitely be so proud of myself once I have accomplished it. Psychologically, I reached my goal. I was able to deal with a confrontation and not respond to the confrontation. Of course, I was struck in the face, but I dealt with it like an adult and therefore, the long term outcome is much more positive. I have been able to bring my psychological level to a better health and really am satisfied with the way I have been lately. My spiritual goal is to be happier. For some reason, happiness lacks in me quite often. I do not know what it comes from but I do know that meditation and prayer has really helped open up my eyes a little bit more and with the help of that, it is making things a lot healthier.
Over the next six months, I will keep track based on my schedule. I have a schedule being kept that will help me maintain a workout schedule, as well as finding time to fulfill my psychological and spiritual needs. I will probably start a journal or perhaps writing things down because it then will help me keep alert of everything as well. This course has definitely been an eye opener and being 21, it can be very difficult to grow up but stay young. I have been able to develop the understanding of my growth and have become quite happy with it.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteGreat final project! I think that your short term goal of running 10 miles by February is a reasonable and very attainable with your enthusiasm. A lot of people I have known always get those "I'm going to lose weight in two months" but those goals are too wide. They are not very achievable because they don't have a plan just a goal. In your project you goal is straight to the point and set time limits. You also are starting slow and working your way up. Good job, and good luck :)
