Unit 10 Blog #2

2. Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.
Throughout the course I have assessed myself in each domain. For my physical wellness I exercise on a regular basis. I participate in weight training 5-6 days per week for about 11/2-2 hours. I also do cardiovascular exercise 4-5 times per week for 30 minutes-60 minutes at a time. I eat a healthy diet consisting of all the major food groups, drink about 64 ounces of water a day, and take a few vitamins. Overall I would rate my physical wellness at a 9. There is always room to improve physically so I would not rate myself at a 10.
My psychological wellness I have tried to maintain a positive attitude for a few years now. I always try to turn a bad situation into a positive one. I seem to be less stressed than I used to be. I take yoga as a part of my regular workout routine and this has helped me cope with things much easier. However, I still have my bad days and sometimes find it impossible to think happy thoughts. I am working on improving this by my positive outlook and meditation practices. I would rate my psychological wellness at a 7. I am striving for 10 and I feel it will come after I graduate and start my career.
My spiritual wellness has improved since taking this class. I realize that I am not the most spiritual person, but I feel that this is what works best for me. I have made remarkable changes by doing meditation on a regular basis. I love how it has made me more aware of myself. This has helped me work on loving myself and others much more. I would rate my spiritual wellness at a 7. I still need to work on mediation more often. I feel sometimes I could try to make more time for this.
