Introduction
Being
physically fit by eating healthy and exercising, makes a person feel better
physically and mentally. To add to that, thinking positive, and being kind to
others is how people add being spiritually and psychologically well. I need to
learn to incorporate meditation and yoga into my life for more peace and quiet.
II.
Assessment
My
assessment tells me I need work in all areas, and need to make more time to
practice integral health. I score my spirituality the highest since I try to
listen to tohers and be kind. There are a lot of people in my life who
incorporate spirituality into their lives, which is more common these days.
More time needs to be spent on exercising, even though I do run around a lot
and my job is physical. I work outdoors and with plants and dirt in a garden
center, so I feel this is good for my soul. From time to time I catch myself
thinking negative about myself and my abilities, but need to try to curb that
as much as possible.
III.
Goal Development
My
goal for physical wellness is more exercise and eating healthier. Try not to
eat out as much, and cook from scratch, and less sweets. In the past few years
I find myself not wanting much meat, maybe since there are always recalls about
how bad some food is. My goal psychologically is to not let others negative
thinking get to me, and to surround myself with positive and supportive people.
My goal spiritually is to meditate and try yoga.
IV.
Practice for Personal Health
To
implement growth in Physical, I want to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables,
and maybe less wine. To implement growth in Psychological, I want to think
positive about my life and accomplishments, and not let others put me down. To
implement growth in Spiritual, I want to meditate more, learn yoga, listen to
others, and be kind.
V.
Commitment
It
would help to write down my goals and start a log of my activity. This way I
can assess my progress and make sure I am on goal or work to get there.
Hi JW,
ReplyDeleteYou have admirable goals for yourself. Yoga is a great way to exercise as well as implement some meditation and mindful practice in your life. I have started journaling and for me is a great way to put my feelings into words, it also helps me to rid whatever is bothering me by getting it out. Looks like you have some great ideas on how to keep integral health in your life. Great job.
Yours In Health,
Cyndie
