After reviewing my unit three and nine assessments I would
say that I am still around a 5 out of 10 or solid “C”. I would love to say that
I have jumped up to a 7.5 or 8 out of 10 but I would just be lying to myself. Since
my unit three assessment I have made a couple changes to my integral plan by
switching out meditations, changing my goals in the physical and spiritual departments
which I believe will better suit me in the long run. With that in mind I do
feel that I have made progress towards my end goal for the reason I am taking
my health and wellness plan and molding it to what I need to become healthier. This
course has brought the different aspects to the mind-body-spirit relationship
that I was compartmentalizing and pieced them together. Being able to link and
see personally how one aspect of your life affect the others is a large
stepping stone, at least it was for me. The most difficult portion of this
course was, and still is, the loving-kindness exercise. I believe that
because I am having such a difficult time with it, when it does come together
for me I will have made a significant development in the my psychological and spiritual
areas. To finish, I truly believe that my health and wellness can help further
others even if it is just being a role model for them. Personally, I would
rather make a significant difference if a few lives than a haphazard difference
in a thousand lives.
Great great reflection and post! Have you found that you have not been able to model your life based on the exercises and concepts we have learned in this course? I have found from Unit 3 to Unit 10 I have learned a lot and I have grown and enhanced my integral health. The loving kindness was my favorite exercise along with the meditation exercise. Prior to this course I did not do any meditation and I found that slowly integrating these exercises into my daily schedule has made my days less stressful. I think that eventually you will also benefit from the loving kindness exercise and I am glad this class has made a positive impact on your life.

Courtney, I have always know that I am somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to aspects in my life and past courses in my health and wellness degree have reinforced this knowledge about myself. With that said I do not think that it is because I cannot incorporate the exercised and lifestyle that an integral lifestyle involves. I think that it is because I want things to be perfect before I consider any growth and development in that aspect of my life. I know this is a fault of mine to some extent because it does cause stress but it is who I am and I am working on it.
