Unit 9 Project

Introduction
            Health and wellness professionals need to be fully developed in their psychological, spiritual and physical states of being.  In order to teach others, the ones teaching need to have a grasp and experience the benefits of health and wellness.  If not the students might thing their teachers are frauds or that the experiences won’t benefit them.
            My personal areas that need improvement are in spirituality and physically.  Going to school, working full time and dealing with possible deployment, I have lost sights on my health and wellness.  My goals are to get back on track and start working on my spiritual and physical aspects of my life.
Assessment:
            I would rate myself a five in the physical realm due to not being unhealthy but not being at my best.  My workout regimen needs to improve for health reasons and military reasons.  Passing a physical fitness test is important in keeping my position in the military.
            In the spiritualty realm of my health I would rate myself a four.  I don’t leave enough time for me and often I am stressed to max.  This is the area I need to improve myself the most.  The psychological realm of my life is about the same ranging around midway.  I know what I should do but finding the time and energy to do the things that are good for me hasn’t been a priority.  I am working on goals in each area.
Goal Development:
            Physical Goal:  Within in the next month I need to be able to run a two mile run under nineteen minutes and perform at least seventeen pushups and fifty sit-ups.
            Spiritual Goal:  I want to meditate at least once or twice a week.  Once I become comfortable and proficient increase the occurrence to once a day.
            Psychological Goal: My goal is to control my thoughts and feelings.  I want to be able to become better at thinking before I react to a situation and find the positives in every negative situation.
Practices for personal health:
            Spiritual Domain: Meditation and relaxation
            Physical Domain: Insanity workout and Pilates
            Psychological Domain: Finding the positive in every situation and talking with loved                           ones instead of bottling everything inside.
Commitment:
            In the next six months I will track my progress by simply waking up every morning and rating how I feel.  I will track my weight loss during the next six months to show my progressing in my physical realm.  Another way for me to track my progress is to see how well I can quite my mind and thoughts.  I am looking forward to leading a better lifestyle.
