It makes me happy to know that none of us get a how-to-guide. We're all just kind of winging it.


Good Day.

In my previous assessment I had rated my spiritual health as a 7 and I believe that I have remain the same in this aspect. My beliefs did not change it was more about the realization of the concept for me. I had rated my physical health as a 6 and have raised it to 7 on my more recent assessment. I had increased my rating due to the incorporation of yoga and dedication to walking. I rated my phsychological health as a 5 in the beginning of the term and had raised it to a 6 because I have a lot to learn about declutter my mind and allowing myself to think clearly. I will continue my practices and will work my way up.

My goals and activities in unit 3 were to de clutter my mind...I am working on that. Working on time management is a constant struggle for me. I know it will make my life much easier and I plan my day out and get home from work some days I am fine others I am just to tired from a long day at work. Another activity was exercising. I did not become a the runner I once was but I did incorporate yoga into my life. I figured I would wait till spring for the running bit.

This course has been a wonderfully eye opening experience. I would recommend this course to anyone who would listen. I had posted on a classmates discussion board post saying I almost feel like it would be impossible to not be altered by this course. My fiance through out the term has become more and more interested in this class. He loved the guided meditations and i caught him reading our Dacher book a few times. We have agreed to raise our future children in an integral health household. I am more than happy that I had the opportunity to take this class and change my life as well as my family's.

  1. First, I love the quotes/sayings you have posted on your blog throughout this whole course! I think the way you phrased your spiritual growth assessment is dead on for me as well. My beliefs did not change but I did realize a few things. I have struggled with time management for about as long as I can remember, so I empathize and wish you success with that goal.

  2. Shay,
    I had also set a goal for myself to increase my exercise and therefore raise my physical wellness but failed to do so. I had a loss in my family so this term has been one of the hardest in all the years I have been going to school. I commend you for starting a work-out routine and I myself would also like to encorporate yoga into my life as it seems like such a great way to decompress and relieve tension and stress. Good luck with all of your goals :)

  3. Shay,

    I loved the title. I almost wish that we did have a how-to-guide so that I know how to turn off something or someone. I too had a goal of exercise and wish I would have done something more to meet it but I know that once I graduate I will have a lot more time to dedicate to myself. I only wish I had a babysitter that would allow me to be late in picking up my kids and I would go now. Good luck to you in the future and best of luck.

    Very good blog. Time management is very important and that's something I have learned to master over time. The biggest advice I can give about it is to prioritize. That will help out alot. Decluttering your mind is a great thing because it will rid you of alot of stress and worry. I wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavors.
