Unit 10 blog


When I reflect on my well being, not so much has changed.  In terms of my physical well being, I had given it a 7 in unit 3 and still give it a score of 7 today.  I am still pretty active and no where near living a sedentary lifestyle, but I still didn’t engage in an exercise routine like I would like to.  The main reason for this is that I really do not have the space in my schedule to do so.  I figure that when I have less to do in life, I will exercise more.  In terms of my spiritual well-being, I gave it a 7 in unit 3 and as of today I give it an 8.  I feel a little bit more connected with nature than I have before.  I find myself being more insightful about issues in life and I am a little bit better at thinking positive about life’s issues.  I have been going back to church a little bit more often than before as oppose to making excuses why I can’t attend service. Finally for my psychological well-being, I gave it an 8.5 in unit 3 and still rate it the same as of today.  In unit 3 I have mentioned that I gave it this score because I have accepted who I am as a person, but I feel like I still need to work on my emotional aspect in life and also need to balance my career life.  Once these two things are in balance, I can achieve some more joy in life. 
For my goals set in unit 3, I have progressed a little bit in my spiritual and psychological aspect, although it still has room for improvement.  As for my physical well-being it hasn’t really changed and I know what I need to do in order to improve and move ahead in this area.  My overall well-being has improved gradually.  It is not at its highest peak, but I am working towards that in order to achieve optimal well-being.  Me improving on my spirituality has been rewarding, because the more spiritual I am, the more I think positive about my life.  My mind feel more at ease and comes to mutual understanding easier.  The most difficult aspect of my well-being to change is my physical well being.  I figure that once I accomplish one activity in my life such as school, I can provide the appropriate time to get engaged in more physical activities.  But with the schedule I have now for work and school and family life make it hard to focus on an exercise routine.  Working alone drains out most of my energy and attending school adds on to that.  My goal to become more physical active is still in effect and when it goes into action, my physical aspect in life will improve.

  1. Welna while I think you are probably pretty busy, you were able to find the time to further develop you spiritual side. Do you think there could be a few minutes you could further develop you physical side. While it sounds like you exercise some, it almost sounded to me that you want to do it more and can't see how. I have battled this myself in the past and have now made it a priority and it has helped me increase my physical wellness. It is certainly not easy to find time for everything, but taking a hard look at how you spend your day might help you find a little time that you didn't know existed.

    Take care!!!
