My Re-Assessment: The End of this Leg..

**My Re-assessment** In the last ten weeks, I have learned additional ways to integrate my health, happiness, and wholeness in more ways than I ever understood. I graded myself rather high, but with the information learned I can see that there is so much more and I can say that my grades have gone down. I would rank all areas at a seven, with hopes that through persistent practice and faith in my abilities it will only get better as time moves on. **The physical goals I set for myself have not been started, as other workout priorities have taken the front burner. I tend to run distance less during the summer months but intend to hit it hard when the cooler months roll around. **Spiritually and psychologically, I would like to continue to practice the exercises we have learned and to teach others the benefits. I am looking to get to a place where I can still my busy mind. Continuing to re-examine the material we learned can only improve my abilities. I have taken time throughout my day to pause and reset my mind, and will continue to do so. **I feel that by having the knowledge and making baby steps in a positive direction, my well-being can only improve. The experiences of others, the knowledge in the assignments, and the texts have all provided a strong foundation for the years to come. This will also help in assisting others; as some things that have not been personally experienced can be referred to someone who has included it on their journey. **The most rewarding is what others have provided me, and the camaraderie established with others experiencing the same journey. **Warm Regards, Jenn

  1. I think throughout this whole course, we’ve all had a learning experience both about our personal lives and about the concepts of integral health. Even though that you feel that your grades might have gone down, I feel that by being able to realize the aspects of your life that do need improvement is a sign of improvement. Realization is an example of awareness, so I think you are on the right path. I don’t believe that anyone actually has total integral health or that someone out there has actually mastered it. That would be like mastering life, it is unheard of. Taking baby steps is always the most effective way to do things. I’m also taking baby steps to get where I need to be with my integral health.

  2. Hello Jenn,

    It's okay if you graded your self high and then had to lower it a bit. We've all found out things about ourselves during this course that we never considered before. Changes take time and what we have learned is something that can't happen overnight. It takes time and practice and if you have a minor set back, don't let it get to you. Pick yourself up and carry on. Keep your goals firmly in your mind and take baby steps so it will be easier to reach your main goals. Baby steps will show you all of your accomplishments and you will feel that you really are reaching your goals. I wish you the very best on your continued journey.

  3. Hi Jennifer I wanted to comment on your post. It was a really good pos. I also graded myself pretty high to start off in the physical, spiritual and psychological areas. But I have recently lowered the scores a bit. Due to recent personal events. I saw that I need to focus more on getting to a point of complete relaxation. I held that point for a while but, I am wanting to be stronger in all areas in my life. I hope that you do get to the place where you can still your busy mind. I am working on that at the moment. Good luck.

  4. I noticed that I had issues with my physical goals to meet, however with the other two I made much better progress. It just shows that everything is a process, and it takes time to perfect! I hope you have had a great term and this class helps you in your future career goals and life!
