Unit 9

Final Project

I.                   Introduction:

It is important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically because as it says in the Consciousness and healing book, “Integral psychology seeks to be practical and applicable to the problems of daily life, yet at the same time to lead forward those individuals who are ready to transpersonal dimensions of being where experiences of deep integration, meaningfulness, and fulfillment are possible.” (Schlitz, Amorok, & Micozzi, 2005) As professionals we need to be well rounded individuals and balanced with mind, body and spirit to be able to teach others how to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. In order for me to achieve the goals that I have set for myself is to look inward and learn more about me.

II.                Assessment:

For assessing my health in each area I have become more spiritual and that does not mean I am just going to church on Sunday, this means I am getting closer to my lord and savior Jesus and putting my faith in him as the book of John says in chapter 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (KJV)I am ready to go into the light and let myself be known that I am a Christian and God is my savior. Physically I am working out now that I have a job at the Fitness Center it is a slow process but I will not give up reaching my goals. With my behavior change and spiritual change I am on the road to being well rounded.

III.              Goal Development:

My goal physically is to lose weight and fill good about myself, I hate looking at myself in the mirror. At the same time I want to gain muscle and look good. Spiritually I want to get closer to God and understand the bible and get closer to my church family. When I reach these goals I should have the goal of mental health accomplished because filling well about myself and looking good, having confidence should make the anxiety and stress go away.

IV.             Practices for personal health:

Physically I plan to work out and lose weight and change the way I eat and what I buy at the grocery store. The example is when I go grocery shopping I would stay on the outside isles, this would be where the fresh fruit and vegetables are and the chicken and fish. Psychological I will keep working on my problems and making behavior changes. I have got a new job and it has really boosted my confidence the members of the club are already telling the manager that they need to keep me and not let me go because I know how to clean. Spiritually I will keep going to church and get involved in whatever I can. I love working with the younger groups and reading to them about God. I cannot pray in public but I have stepped up to witness to the person I work with at work he has lost his way and I am trying to show him what he is missing by the way I act.

V.                Commitment:

I plan on keeping a journal for my physical workouts and keeping track of what I am loosing. I plan to reward myself when I lose 10 pounds and bring someone to the lord. The reward will be in itself to bring someone to the lord and to get to know him the way I have would be a blessing in itself. I have determination and I will persevere.
