Hello to anyone still blogging
It was a great day for me to day. I am actually fitting in clothes I have not worn into a real long time. Still working on my stress issues. Maybe someday I will have conquered. I hope some of the folks from class are still blogging.....

Unit 10 Reflection
So, I went back to my Unit 3 post, I had stated my physical well-being was a three at point. I feel it has improved to a 6 right now. This due to recent battle with an upper respiratory infection and possible cystitis. I have been following my exercise routine until last Thursday when the infection and fever took control. I have been on total rest til next Thursday per Doctor's orders. I really miss my workout, it gives me so much energy.
My spiritual well being was an 8, so now it I would say it is about the same. Though I do feel I have improved my meditation techniques quite a bit. I hope to be at a 10 in by the end of the year.
My psychological well-being was at 5, I believe it is 8. Though I try not to let stress and other situations disturb my positive attitude, most days I can sit down at lunch and practice my deep breathing and I am able to refocus. But then there are days that aren't that easy.
This course has given the opportunity to learn new techniques to help me get to unity consciousness. It is an eye opening experience to see just how much your mental fitness really affects the rest of your fitness levels. I have implemented my exercise schedule and my relaxation techniques.
It has been great to see that there are others that are struggling with weight, spirituality and other life issues. We need to keep in tough through our blogs just a moral support. I plan to keep my blog updated.
Sorry about my unit 9 post
I just figured out what happened to this post. I posted to my old jsblog.blogspot.com by mistake. This was an old blog from 2008. Sorry, about the confusion. It can been seen on that blog if there are any doubts. Thanks
Unit 9 Project Personal Assesssment
Below you will find the paper I have submitted. The main point here is to remember to use our techniques we have learned during this term, keep journals or use our blogs as place to post our achievements. It is also good to use tools such as sparkpeople.com to track daily nutritional habits. I wish you and every one many more year of happiness, wholeness and health.
The object of this paper is to create a plan of the concepts we have learned during this term. This plan will to foster growth and health spiritually, physically and psychologically in my personal life.
It is important to for health professionals to develop themselves psychologically, spiritually and physically. The professional must be able to coach their clients on the same principles that they had been doing themselves. It is important to practice what you preach. For myself to be able to help others, I have to first get myself in shape mentally, physically and spiritually. To have what is called total wellness, happiness and wholeness you must develop you mind, body and spirit. Within in the four aspects of the human experience psychospiritual, interpersonal, biological and worldly, I need to develop unity consciousness, mind body and spiritual body, all of us, and get to the full service of the worldly quadrant.
Within in the psychospiritual quadrant to achieve unity consciousness, I plan to continue practicing the exercises learned in this term. Right now at this point in my life, I am working in the witnessing mind step of psychospiritual. The goal for this quadrant is to continue practicing various exercises such as the loving-kindness exercise until I reach the calm abiding stage. With continued practice of relaxation techniques combined with the loving kindness and the subtle mind exercises for 30 minutes a day, I hope to one ready the unity consciousness stage of the psychospiritual quadrant.
Within biological quadrant, I need to work on my physical body in regards to weight loss and being physically fit. The achieve success in this area, the goal is to continue with the eating plan I am currently following along with 45 minutes to one hour of exercise for at least four to five days per week. The exercise program will encompass the use of equipment at our employee fitness center along with walking and stretching. Along with this, getting my mind fit so these tasks can be completely will a top priority. The use of my spiritual awakening, prayer, and meditation has already improved my mental fitness and my physical fitness. Per Dacher, it is important to develop your body to mind to spirit to achieve this goal.
The interpersonal quadrant includes my growth from me to you to us to all of us. (Dacher, 2006) In accessing myself in this area, I will continue to work on the all of us. I already regard those around me as friends, I do not feel a sense of isolation or separateness instead a feel a sense of oneness. I share with my coworkers and love ones daily my experiences and growth in my spirituality and how important it is to love one another.
Within the worldly life quadrant, the area of service will be a continue process. I already have discovered how giving, caring, nurturing and mentoring can help achieve the goal of total health, happiness, and wholeness. Each day keeping a positive approach to life’s issues helps me to achieve my service goal. Within the healthcare system, we are currently practicing services excellence. Within this concept, we as employees, provides a positive experience for our patients. We treat each person how we would like to be treated. If we cannot have compassion for our patients and their patients then we should not be working in the healthcare field. It only takes one act of kindness, a smile or a small jester to will make the patient feel more comfortable. With practicing the exercises of loving kindness and relaxation techniques, I can continue to provide not only my patients with the care and compassion they need but also my family, and coworkers.
My long term plan is to continue practicing relaxation techniques and loving kindness exercise. Within my physical goals, I will plan to continue with my weight loss plan, exercise for 45 minutes to one hour for at least five days a week. I would like to learn yoga and take a zumba class to give me more balance. Within my spiritual wellness, I will continue the use of prayer and meditation daily, continue attending church services and reading scripture to help broaden my mind. It is within my Christianity I have regained control over my life. To track my progress, I will continue to journal daily what I have done, and keep my appointments each month with my physician.
In closing, to achieve total happiness, wellness and wholeness, I will practice my exercises and look for continued class to educate myself on spiritual wellness. My long term objective is to be a spiritual wellness counselor. So I will end with this final goal of reaching a flourishing body, mind and spirit, I will then realize sustained health, happiness and wholeness. (Dacher, 2006)

Great work out today
Since I have started working out at the employee gym, I am beginning to see a difference in how my clothes fit. Worked out on the treadmill and bike today for 45 minutes and then did stretches to cool down. I will do my meditation exercise before bed tonight to help me sleep.

unit 8 blog post
After reviewing the exercises we have done this term, I believe my favorites are the loving kindness and meeting Asciepius. I would incorporate these exercises in my weekly routine along with relaxation techniques I already use. I have found the deep breathing exercises really work for the best for me. And believe right now, if I did not practice my relaxation techniques and my faith or spirituality, I would not be able to be as positive and up beat. I would set aside some time each day to practice my exercises, mainly in the evening hours when I really need to de-stress. The morning hours are when I try to exercise at the gym or walk outside. I would like learn about yoga. I can not take it on right now, but maybe in the future.
Life can be challenging, but it is your choice on how you will take care of it-either let the stress rule you or you rule the stress.
I am actually looking to the future and trying to find more information on wellness counseling using the relaxation techniques and spirituality. I have already information a spirituality training, that I may consider in the future. I do not want be an personal trainer that concentrates on the physical aspect side of it, but I want to do more of the wellness/spiritual counseling part.
This term has really been eye opening me. It has provides various options for the future. I hope all of you will continue to use your blog, and keep us updated on how you are progressing....
