Unit 9: Personal Application of the Psychological and Spiritual Aspect of Healing-Project
I Introduction:
It is important for a health and wellness professional to develop psychologically, spiritually, and physically, in order to obtain and secure the trust of their clients. If you are not psychologically fit in the mind, spiritually fit in your soul and physically fit in your body aspect, how can we give advice to someone else on these aspects? We as health and wellness professional should continue to educate ourselves to be able to further educate and help our clients psychologically, spiritually and physically. The area that I myself need to develop more on is being more physically fit in order to help myself and my client’s to live a healthy lifestyle.
II Assessment:
Through out this course I have assessed my overall health and I think that my score in the spiritual aspect is high, because I have always considered myself to be very spiritual from early childhood and I have always use the meditation techniques that my grand-parents and parents used as I was growing up and it has help me a lot. With my physical aspect, I would score it at a medium level, because there is some need for improvement in my exercise routine; and now that I have had surgery done in the past week on my feet that was hindering me from doing a lot of exercise that cause for movement of the foot and legs. But now I was be able to do more aerobic or walking exercise that will get me back into the active phase of physical activity again. And psychologically, this course has helped me out a lot; it has helped me to develop a habit of focusing on a positive aspect instead of stressing out of the negative. The meditation and the visualization techniques have really helped me to expand my mind and focus on the bigger picture. I think my score would be at a higher level in this aspect.
III Goal development:
Physical-my goal is to improve and continue to add more activities in my exercise routine and implement a healthy diet along with the exercise program. Psychological (mental health)-my goal is to continue to use the Loving-kindness and the visualization techniques to keep my mind focus and cleanse from any negativity. A healthy mind-body-spirit is the key to a healthy outcome. Spiritual-my goal is to continue to develop my spiritual aspect through meditation and visualization to help me stay focus spiritually and to have a healthy spirit to give off a positive atmosphere to my clients and friends so that I may share my techniques with them.
IV Practices for personal health:
Physical-I can plan out a healthy diet meal preparation along with a vigorous workout three to four days a week. Psychological-I will revisit the loving-kindness and the subtle mind techniques. Spiritual- I will use the meditation along with my Bible studying to enhance the logic behind the journey of the chapters that I will be focused on. I will implement these tasks by; exercising daily along with a nutritious meal. And I will continue to use the loving-kindness technique because it was one of the most effect techniques for me. And I will also implement yoga and tai chi and a relaxation technique to help with getting a clear grasp of the mind and body connection.
V Commitment:
I will assess my progress by keeping track for the next six to eight months in a journal that I am keep to evaluate my progress to see the changes that I have made and will continue to make throughout my life cycle; because progress is a long lasting process that will continue through out my life if I want to stay healthy in my mind-body, and spirit. So I will keep a journal of my progress and what I need to stay focus and on track. The strategies that I can use to assist me with maintaining my long-term practices for health and wellness is sticking to my plan for a healthy diet and three to four days of physical activity and this will provide a good regime to sustain a healthy outcome of my goals of succeeding at continue health and wellness for my mind-body, and spirit.
