1) As I am comparing my self-evaluation from unit 3 to now, there is really a huge discrepancy among the ywo scores. From unit 3, my psychological well-being score was 5, physical 7, and spiritual 6, from a scale of 1 to 10. Now, After the knowledge I have acquired from this course on how to attain integral health, I have discovered the hidden capacities within me. They were always there, but it is up to us to seek for them, because, although we are made of three components, physical, psychological, and spiritual, commonly called; body, mind, and soul, we are still a whole with three interconnected and interdependent components. I want to share a personal experience. Before this course, I use to talk a lot about my issues to friends, seeking unconsciously for a solution through them, but now, I have the power to endure, expand my mind, and move on with life, and this new discovery in me really makes me feel in control of both my personal and professional life. Now for my psychological, physical, and spiritual well being, I can score ( 8, 9, 8) respectively from a scale of 1 to 10.
2)For my physical well-being, I have set a goal to have a scheduled regular exrecises by mean of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. Before, I use to do exercises once in a while but only thinking about shape, but along this course, I have discovered the direct link between physical exercises and mental well-being. Psychologically and spiritually, I have chosen the "Meditation" exercise to go with, so that I can find moments where I can be my own guest, my own judge with my own self, so that I can be myself, and being able to explore myself and the unlimited resources in within. I have made progress, because I follow my schedule for exercises, and like I said earlier, I know how to seek for my peaceful mind and solve my problems out.
3)I have chosen specific days and hours for my physical exercises including walk, and specific time alone to do my "Meditations" in order to reach to my highest potentials whether physical, psychological, and spiritual. This is a feeling that only the one experiencing it can fully understand, this is a feeling of confidence, control both with yourself and your surroundings.
4) My personal experience throughout this course has been marked by an ongoing progress whether physically, psychologically, and spiritually. My view of the world has totally changed, I now see myself and the world from a very different prospective than before.
I now understand how to attain integral health, because the means are nowhere but within us, and I intend to use my knowledge to help others to find the right path and reach out to integral health that we all have the power to posses if only we know how to seek for it. That will be my greatest satisfaction to use it to the benefit of others. The one thing that has been really difficult for me along the way was the exercise where I needed to suppress the disturbing mind in order to find the witness mind, the calm-abiding mind in order to move on to the other level, but I did get it at the end.
Hi Gaelisa65,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that each person is different and you have to set yoour own goals and knowing when and where you're going to do those things without distractions. Time management is a key especially when seeking integral health. By allowing yourself to focus on "you" only is the first step to become more aware of your life and to cope and deal with stress through the different strategies learn in this class.
