Conclusion of the Matter

In my week 3 assessment, I had scored myself at 6, 8 and 10 in physical health, spiritual health and psychological health respectively. I had also set up some realistic and achievable goals for myself. 6 weeks down the line, I can say that my physical health is at an 8 and my spiritual health is at a 10 as well as my psychological health. I have been able to constantly exercise and eat right and were it not for the cold weather that is messing up my schedule, I would envision myself being at 10 but I am work in progress and I know that I will slowly but surely get there. I have also become more connected to my spirituality and become more deeper in my walk with my Lord and I feel that it has changed my life outlook. I am continually serving where I get an opportunity and thus a 10. As for psychological health, I feel better and satisfied with where I am in life.
this class has been able to validate some of the things that my faith has taught me and through research studies, I feel glad that my fail is not  a fluke or a fraud. I am now more inclined to intercede for the sick, forgive everyone, give away love to everyone and be bale to be grateful for life and all the blessings that come my way. The contemplative exercises were very frustrating but I do believe that with practice as well as the right mind-set, It is possible to accomplish them. As I continue on with my career, it is my intention to help my clients approach health and wellness holistically and not be a professional who takes the western approach to medicine but be able to help them look at all the aspects of their lives. As a family and marriage therapist, I believe that I will be better placed to approach issues in the manner we have learned in this class. The bottom line is that this class has been an eye opener and I do intend to use the text books for my future career path.
