                                My unit 3 ratings & explanation

“Physical well-being =3       Spiritual well-being =7          Psychological well-being = 2

    This question has taken a lot of reflection and evaluating my life. It’s harder questions like these that I need to ask myself more often. It’s easy to get rushed by deadlines and “to do” lists and work. I need to remember to stop every once in a while and breathe! My physical and psychological well-being are struggling.  I have a lot of health issues; Celiac disease, food/outdoor allergies, joint pain and scoliosis. My psychological health problems are depression, anxiety, and insomnia. When my life is less hectic my medication and therapy manages my psychological problems but lately there has been a lot stressing me out. (unit 3 blog post)“

                                                     My ratings now & explanation

Physical well-being =6             Spiritual well-being = 9          Psychological well-being = 6

            I am learning to not become a victim of my ailments but rather a survivor and someone who does not let their illnesses stop them from being a healthy, happy individual. Things that have helped me physically, is getting more sleep and being more active. To improve my spiritual wellness I started taking notes during church. It helps me remember the positive message of the pastor. I have improved my psychological well-being by talking a lot about what’s on my mind. I also take some quiet time to reflect on my life. I think what has been the most beneficial psychologically was starting this blog. I find that writing helps me organize my thoughts and feelings. It’s also nice getting feedback from other people. I am definitely going to keep blogging! I have had so much fun in this class. This class has been a very positive, uplifting class for me. I feel like I am on the right path and with each day I become a little closer to the person I know I can become. I also feel that I am much more prepared to help others. I have found a love for life and a place of peace in my heart that I want to share with the world!
