Final Blog

Hello Everyone,

I think I still will rate myself as a 6 or 7 in the physical well-being aspect, because I am still making positive effort towards eating right and exercising on a regular basis. I am still on my shake diet plan and I am eating more vegetables and fruits, and making healthier choices when I do eat a meal. As in unit 3, I rated myself as 5 or 6, so I am making some progress.

As for my psychological well-being, I am planning on going back to my therapist and continue to take my behavioral medications, to take the edge off of the stress and anxiety, plus I plan on taking walks and looking into the Shambhala Centers, and seeing if there are classes I can take, and perhaps learn the art of meditation, I think now I would rate myself as a 6 or 7, because like the physical aspect, I am making progress and am in really in the middle range, I ultimately would like to be an 8 or 9 in the next 6 months to a year, in unit 3, I believe I rated myself around a 4 or 5.

Finally, the spiritual aspect is the area I feel I lack the most. This is because, I do believe in God, but I do not necessarily have or follow any form of religion, and it is mainly because, I find a lot of religions a little hypocritical and hard to follow something, that I don't really have the passion for. It is hard, because I believe in pray (occasionally), but I just cannot find a religion. In unit 3, I rated myself as 3 or 4, and I think, I am still right around the 4 range. Because, along with visiting the Shambhala centers, and wanting to meditate, I think I want to learn more about Buddhism and perhaps that is my calling, spiritually.

I think this class has taught me a lot about how every aspect of our lives is connect in some way, and that we are the problem and the solution to our problems, and all we need is the want and drive to want to make the change to make yourself a healthier, happier individual. But since everything is connected, we need to be conscious of each aspect, and understand that with harmony in each aspect it can throw off the balance in your life. So, I am hoping that I keep this desire and interest to become more spiritually connected, and physically fit. I once wanted to be a Buddhist, but tried a more formalized form of religion, and as you can see, I still am on spiritual journey, and I hope to find that within the next 6 months to a year.

I wish everyone, in this class luck in their spiritual, physical, and psychological journey's, and I hope everyone meets their goals and finds what they are looking for. I also wish you luck in your future classes and in your careers and it was a pleasure working with everyone in this class.
