Unit 9 Final Project

I Introduction:

Why is it important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically? What areas do you need to develop to achieve the goals you have for yourself?

It is important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically due to I believe in order to treat clients on all levels of healing, one must be able to practice and express what they have experience with.  How can one teach if they have never experienced the aspects of the whole body connection?  I believe I need to develop in both areas of psychologically and spiritually.  I tend to stress and cause myself distraction in my life, which then leads to a spiritual disconnection.  I must learn to lean on my spiritual growths to help with my psychological challenges.

II Assessment:

How have you assessed your health in each domain? How do you score your wellness spiritually, physically, and psychologically?

I have assessed my health in each domain as being an eight.  This leaves room for improvement.  What I know is that I am not perfect, even though I tried to make things around me perfect, I must pick my battles.  In addition, I have implemented a physical exercise and prayer into my daily life and this has helped with my health.  I would score my wellness spiritually an eight, physically and eight, and psychologically an eight.

III Goal development:

List at least one goal you have for yourself in each area, Physical, Psychological (mental health) and Spiritual.

My goal for my physical is to be able to increase my workout to five days a week instead of three.  My goal for my psychological is to mediate and not allow less important things to clutter my mind, allow my mind to become still during parts of the day.  My spiritual goal would be to dedicate more of my time to serving God and do the things he has designed me to do.

IV Practices for personal health:

What strategies can you implement to foster growth in each of the following domains; Physical, Psychological, and Spiritual. Provide at least two examples of exercises or practices in each domain. Explain how you will implement each example.

The strategies I can implement to foster growth in my physical domain would be to exercise regularly.  To do this I can increase my exercise days from three to five and park the car further from the entrance door and walk.  The strategies I can implement to foster growth in my psychological domain would be to pick my battles and calm my mind.  The ways I can do this is practice breathing and visualization exercises.  The strategies I can implement to foster growth in my spiritual domain would be to allow for change and connection.  The ways I can do this is to allow time from prayer during my day and do the things God has implemented in the bible for those to do to live a more wholly life.

V Commitment:

How will you assess your progress or lack of progress in the next six months? What strategies can you use to assist in maintaining your long-term practices for health and wellness?

To assess my progress or lack of progress in the next six months would be to look at what I do on a daily basis.  In addition, I will make a goal plan sheet and keep track on the progress or lack of progress that I have made.  I will make sure that my goals are realistic and if they are not allow room for changes in my goals I set out for myself.
