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)
