Whoops, I guess THIS is the final post. My bad!
To be 100% honest, I would score myself the same as I did in Unit 3 in each of the areas. I gave myself an A for my physical wellbeing, a B for my spiritual wellbeing, and a B for my psychological wellbeing (wow, I give myself good grades!). This hasn't changed much in the past 7 weeks, other than perhaps adding a + in a couple of the areas.
For example, I still haven't gone back to church, which I'm a little ashamed of but am still having as a goal. My psychological wellbeing is about the same because I'm pregnant and quite frankly very emotional and stressed! And my physical wellbeing is quite good, perhaps an A+ now because I'm doing a lot of low-impact exercise that makes my changing body feel wonderful. I'm even attending a yoga class tomorrow morning for the first time in three months!
As far as my goals are concerned, I didn't achieve them 100% but still feel like I made progress. Though I'm not walking every single day, I do take a long walk 4-5 days out of the week and feel like that's enough for me. I didn't attend church with my hubby, but I'm making it a new goal to do it this weekend with my hubby and my parents! I have been journaling more regularly, though not every day. This is another thing I would love to continue.
Throughout this course I've found myself frustrated at times, but I've come out of it with a better understanding of myself and hopefully my future clients. Meditation and self-reflection can be really difficult for me. I have a very hard time quieting my mind! But this class has helped me to learn that music can be my most soothing source, meaning perhaps I need to find a way to add more music to my life.
I'm hoping that the things I've learned in this class will help me to understand others' strengths and weaknesses from more than a physical standpoint. I want to really get to know my clients and understand how they're feeling! This should help me create a plan for them and help them set goals.
Hello Kelsie,
ReplyDeleteI would like to first congratulate you on your pregnancy and wish you a wonderful experience. Pregnancy when one is healthy is a wonderful experience. Then moving on to the post, it is great that you are highly graded, which means that you have already achieved integral health and that you should just keep maintaining the pace. I am way behind for sure, but the most important understanding to take from this exercise is to get started with setting realistically achievable goals for my self and working towards achieving them.
I wish all the best with school and life.
Best,
Ramz
Kelsie,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your pregnancy! Having a child will not only increase your stress at times and make you more emotional for the rest of your life, but it will bring pure simple happiness to you daily through a pint sized little human! :) That is one of the great things about bringing another little being into the world, even on your worst day when you come home and get to be with your little one all the horrible things will go away and happiness will overtake you. It is great that you are exercising and walking, I did that until I was 6 months pregnant and I started retaining water, I even hiked a mountain at 5 months lol! It definitely makes the labor and delivery much easier. It is great you feel like you made progress. I am sure that once you have your child that you will improve in all of these areas as well. I personally think having a child automatically improves each of us as people. Good luck in your future! :)
