Unit 10- Final Blog

In unit 3 I assessed my spiritual well-being with an 8, physical well-being with a 5, and psychological well-being with an 8. Presently, my spiritual well-being is a 9. I have utilized the tools we have learned in class and they have been very beneficial, especially during times of stress. But in order for me to reach a 10, I would like to attend more events and interact with people who share my spiritual beliefs. When it comes to physical well-being I give myself a 6. Slowly but surely I am getting back into a regular workout routine and watching my food intake. Last week I would have given myself a 6 for my psychological well-being. I was stressed out catching up in school and working on top of it. However, I happy that the term is completed and I got some time off work so I give myself a 9!

The goals and activities I have set for myself are certainly attainable. While I have not yet implemented some of them into my life (personal trainer, snorkeling), I have worked on others (meditation, yoga, journaling and spending time outdoors).

I’m truly grateful that I took this course although I would have liked to take it over the summer when I’m not as busy with work. I know that I could have done better but I progressed given my situation so that’s what matters. I will continue to utilize the tools I have learned specifically the meditation exercises and alternative healing methods. I have found them very useful not only for myself but for the patients I will work with in the future.

  1. Allison,

    I'm so glad to hear that your exercise routine is getting back to normal. One of the items I have started to use in my professional life is a good old fashion "Daily To Do List". After reading your post, I looked down at my list and noticed that exercise was not included on it.

    I just stopped typing here and added exercise to my list. I've been using a list for 3 weeks now and have yet to miss an item. As a result of your posting, I felt compelled to add my training to my list. Thank you for the inspiration. I wish you the best moving forward.
