Unit 7 # 2 blog

"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" is a great phrase.  I feel that a person must practice what they preach to another person.  If a health and wellness professional doesn't truly live a healthy lifestyle, how can they help others?  If I hadn't studied fitness and nutrition for about 12 years, I couldn't possibly teach it to my clients on a daily basis.  When we become health and wellness professionals, it is our duty to learn and live it as much as we can so that we can pass on to our clients what it takes to make the appropriate changes to their health.  In my life I can grow psychologically and spiritually by practicing a healthy lifestyle of a healthy diet, exercising on a daily basis, and meditating many times per week.  By doing this, I have grown tremendously in my life.  It has helped give me the proper knowledge to pass on to others.

  1. Wonderful and I could not agree more, we have to go by example as health care professionals. I dont mean we have to be goody two shoes but we have to be smart about how we live. We cannot give anyone good doirections if we have not been there and tried it ourselves. it sounds like you have it figured out and your clients are very fortunate.
