Unit 10

Looking back on my assessment from unit 3 I have progress a little bit and still working towards it.  Here are my previous rating: psychological – 2, spiritual- 5, and physical -3. These are low because I feel there is a lot of improvement that I need to do. Now that I am re-evaluating each domain I am going rate these domains again, so currently I am going to rate my psychological domain as a 2; this is staying the same because I still have not moved forward with getting help to heal the wounds of my past out of fear which is excuse I keep using and I just need to jump and take that step. I am giving myself a rating of 6 in the spiritual domain because I still feel that I have a lot of work to do to be where I want to be, this has improved slightly and I am continuing to work on it daily. I am giving myself a 6 in the physical domain because I am back to working out a few times a day and working on getting back on track with my nutrition. I am still overweight which puts me at a high risk for many health conditions and will continue on the path I am on.

The goals that I have set for myself are as follows: Physical- I will lose 50-90 lbs. by December 31, 2013 in order for me to feel better about myself and be more physically fit which will help sustain a healthy body, mind, and spirit because I will be filling my thoughts with " I can" attitude instead of the " I can't".    The actions that I will take to reach my physical goal will be to get back on track with good eating habits and workout daily, by focusing on losing 10lbs a month starting in April and by letting people know my goal so they can help me stay accountable.

Spiritual- I will take part in daily scripture study and prayer so I can feel more in tune with the spirit and help me become more in tune to the things that I need to be doing to better myself and be more positive. I am also going to be implementing the practices that we learned in this course and do them as often as possible.

Psychological- I will face my fear of the thoughts that I have of the things that will come up if I were to go to a therapist and I will be strong so I will start by going and talking with somebody to help me get these thoughts out of mind that are holding me back from reaching my full potential and so I can get the help the I need to feel like I am worth something.
I feel I have made some progress in the first 2 goals the third goal I am still finding myself putting it off which is not good so I am going to let other people know about this goal and have them keep reminding me that I need to get it started. 

I have started implementing the activities except for the psychological activity of starting the process of going to therapy for my past. This is something that I have been taught that I don't need to do and I am also scared about what might come up that I have suppressed for years. 

This course was really interesting for me and I believe that I am starting to become a stronger a person as I I am doing the practices and working on calming my mind. I still have a lot of work to do but I plan to continue to work on it. I did find talking about my psychological assessment and things and the feelings that it has brought up from my past but now I know that this is something I do need to seek out help for and without this class I may have kept it buried for many more years. This experience will improve my ability to assist others by telling them my story about what this class did for me and how the aspects of the class has helped me to build a stronger inner being.
