Reflecting back on unit 3, on a scale of 1-10, I rated my physical wellbeing a 7; my spiritual wellbeing a 7; and my psychological wellbeing a 6. My physical wellbeing is steadily improving since the start of this course. Workouts and proper eating habits are part of my lifestyle. However, I suffered a slight set back by injuring my shoulder, Nevertheless, I continue with my aerobics and meditative stretching, while nursing my shoulder. I will still rate myself a 7 until I am able to lift weights again. Spiritually, I have moved up the scale from a 7 to an 8.5. I want to continue to evolve in this area because it is the foundation for my human flourishing; it is the main road towards integral health for me. Psychologically my wellbeing has also improved: from a 6 to a 7. I am being stingy with the points because nobody is perfect and there is always room for improvement. I am proud of myself for acknowledging my shortcoming and wanting to change. The step-up the scale has got to do with being able to deal with emotions and applying coping techniques to lowering stress in my life.
One day I would love to access my inner mind with ease. Conscious unity is my goal and it will take patience and dedicated practice. I admit, I have achieved some success through contemplative practice, but the inner universe within me is a realm, which I have only recently started to sow, it is not easy! But one day, God willing, I will reap a bountiful harvest, which reflects my human flourishing. As my lifestyle continues on this path of exercise, nutrition, prayer, mysticism, and emotional intelligence it will bring be to clarity of whom I am, my purpose in life, and my value to all people. The most important concept I’ve learned from this course is that we all have something to offer to others. With intent of heart we can change within, flourish as humans and make this world a better place to live in. I hope as I continue on my journey to integral health that I may serve others whole-heartedly, listen with an open-heart, and treat others with a sincere heart filled with loving-kindness.
Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that I do agree with some of your statement that you have mention about a shoulder injury. It takes a while for the body to heal to its normal level. One of the thing that might help you is for do a little stretch in that area,so that you can work on nomal level as well as intense of physical activity. Another suggestion is for you do a water areobic or a hot sauna for a shoulder injury to heal. By the way, I have enjoy reading your blog for this course that you have provide a clear understanding on integral health.
