Unit 10 Blog

Earlier in this blog I assessed where I think I am on my wellness journey.  This was during a time that was very difficult for me.  I had just suffered a huge loss in my life and was also hospitalized with medical complications.  So as you can imagine my assessment was not very good.  Here I sit 7 weeks later and I can see a huge difference in my life.  Am I still not where I want to be but I am a lot better than I was.  When I did the first assessment I gave myself all 2s, now I believe I am closer to 6s on everything.  I am still working on my goals and some are better than others but I am trying to accomplish them.  I am trying to incorporate some sort of physical activity into my daily life.  The warmer the weather is the easier this is to accomplish.  I hit a little bump in the road a few weeks back and am still working committing to my goals.  I remember hearing somewhere that to form a habit you have to do it for 6 weeks.  I graduate in 3 months and have decided to see where I am with my goals at this time.  I will continue to practice Pilates, yoga, and meditation.  I will continue to grow in my faith and be more trusting in my life.  I would like to try to help my family become more aware of the integral health and live a healthier lifestyle.  I think that this is an important journey that everyone should take, we should all be aware of our health and where we can improve.

  3. So sorry for your loss and tough times. What makes you, YOU is by persevering. That kind of improvement is impressive and must make you feel really good about yourself. I didn't make much improvement through this course but I did however learn a lot. I think I need to try yoga, I am a bit intimidated by it though. Continue to do the things that make you happy and relax. It was nice to meet you and good luck.
