Unit 10 Final Assessment
As I reflect back on unit #3 assessment, my physical assessment was 5/10 my spitirual wellbeing was 6/10 and my psychological was 2/10. In my unit nine assessment my physical assessment is 4/10 my spiritual is 8/10 and my psychological was 6/10. As I compare and reflect on my health and wellness, and although my scores haven't changed very much I can see I have grown in each of these areas. My physical goal was to walk on my treadmill 3 times a week. Well that still hasn't happen, but I have changed my diet- I am eating baked and grilled foods as well as increaseing my water intake.. My psychological goal was to focus on my breathing and visualization skills which I have and they really worked for me this week. My spiritual goal was to get back in church regularly and spent more time with my family, I will not make it to church tomorrow, but I did have dinner with my kids last night and we had a wonderful time. I didn't realize how much they had going on in their lives. My overallpersonal experience has been great. I have learned alot from this class as well as my fellow classmates. I think we all were able to help and learn from each other. Thank-you and good luck to everyone in their future endeavors.

Unit 9 Self Assessment
Introduction-
I think it is important for health and wellness professionals to develop physically, psychologically and spiritually because when you believe in what you are teaching and you are teaching from your heart the individual and see and feel your passion and will therefore, be more open and willing to listen and follow your guidance.
Assessment-
As I review the past 8 weeks been introduced to the many different aspects ofintegral health has help me realized that I realy need to slow down and evaluate myself. Spiritually my score is a 8/10, I say eight because I have very strong faith,but lately I have been going to church regulary. My physical score is 4/10, I always start out with the intentions of exercising at least 30 minutes every day. Well I have only done so 3 or 4 days since the hoilday break . I know work, school and family is part of the reason for not do this as I planned. During the holiday break I was able to walk for 1 hour everyday- no class and work days were shorter.Psychologically my score id 6/10 because many days I 'm still a chatter brain- with my work schedul and duties increased-I can't seem to get my brain to become still.it always seem like I have a thousand thing going on all the time.
Goal-
My physical goal is to walk on my treadmill at least an hour 3 days week. Psychological goal focus on my breathing and visualization exercises seem to help somedays. Spiritually My goal is to get back into church on a regular basis, and continue to pray that my family and friend know that I love them very much, even though my schedule hasn't allow me to spend much time lately.
Strategy-
My physical strategy is to mark my calendar on the days I choose to walk- and reward myself wit a smiley face sticker, after I have completed my walk. I think I may even incorporate handweights/dumdbells to help tone my arms.Psychological- Right now I honestly have no ieda what my strategy would be. I am open for suggestions.
Commitment-
I think with my physical goal and my spiritual goal I will succeed. My psychological goal or lack there of remains to be seem. Maybe in 6 months my breathing exercise and visualization exercise will help me to relax and maybe in 6 month I will be ready for meditation. Have to think positive right?

subtle mind/ loving-kindness
The two exercises for me were the subtle mind exercise, in which I couldn't relax enough to allow my breathing to a calm abiding state. My mind wouldn't stay still long enough to relax. Usually the beach sounds relaxes me and I'm able to let go of whatever is bothering me. But for some reason that exercise didn't work. The loving-kindness exercise was a very good experience for me, I was able to free my mind and allow my thoughts to flow and follow the directions with out any difficulty. Again the beach sounds- ocean waves was all it took to get me in another state of mind. Now since the holidays are over and my mind and body has had a time to recovery, I think that if I was to try the subtle mind exercise again I would do better. As far as taking any of these exercises to use in the future would be the very first exercise with just the ocean sound and the focal point of the color scheming from your body.
