My scores have not really changed since the beginning of the term. There has been a significant amount drama and stress in my life so I have not made much progress. That being said I feel that I am on the way towards improvement because I have the tools to make the needed changes. Spiritually I would be a 5 and a 2 on the other two. The goals I have for myself have been started but I can't say that I have made significant progress. This is not where I expected to be by the end of the class so I have taken a few days off next week sort of as a JumpStart and expect that by the end of next term my final assessment would be significantly different.
The one thing that I have done is implemented some of my activities for improvement. Spiritually I have dedicated time for concentrated prayer and made plans to attend Adoration at church this week. I have been meditating the past few days and have enlisted additional help for my psychological health. Physically I have not been able to implement what I wanted but have taken time to walk and eat better which are the first steps.
I honestly think that my struggles during this class and how hard it has been to implement some of the practices will make me even more qualified to help my future clients. By having gone through my own challenges and given where my assessment put me when I finally get to a better place I will have a story to tell and be able to relate to a wide variety of people and situations. I am not sure why this has been so challenging for me, I was honestly looking forward to this class and have been disappointed in my own lack of success and focus this term. Life gets in the way sometimes and without going into details I was significantly derailed early on with situation involving my son. What is has shown me is that I need the information in this class more than any of my other ones and even though it will be a little late I am jumping in now with both feet.
Hi Mary, Well, I am sad that you have not progressed the way that you wanted to in this class. We all are faced with stress and trails throughout our lives. I like to call them challenges. How we can handle them and what steps we take to move forward in a positive way are essential to our health. You will find your peach and happiness if you just look within and continue to practice your meditations. Just because you didn't progress as fast as you liked to in this class, dont mean that you still did not gain anything from it. You still have your readings, blog and new methods of practicing integral health. Like the professor said, it a funny way, we all end up taking this class when it is needed the most. Whatever is going on in your life, it will to pass, they are moments that dont stand still in time, they move on and so will you! I wish you all the best and stay positive in your continued progress towards health.
