Unit 10 Blog

Hello All,

My scores in the unit 3 personal assessment for the psychological portion was a 2, physical rating was a 6 and spiritual well-being remained the same, at a rating of six.  As I read that post I wondered why I did not follow through with all the well intentioned goals that would only make my life better.  Is it self-sabotage, am I just tired or am I just stuck in the denial phase of everything is all good…..not so much! What I don’t want to do is lie to myself because that benefits no one.  Essentially, I want to set achievable and measurable goals that I can smile about after I check them off my list.

So you’re asking, what’s keeping you from doing that? Good question, I think it really might be self-sabotage and giving in to what feels good in the moment and not what will benefit me in the long run.  I can write the goals, believe in the goals and read them over and over but until I begin to see myself as this deserving human being who deserves to thrive physically, psychologically and spiritually I will continuously sabotage myself.  Causing no growth and happiness.  I choose the latter. I choose to stop taking about it and be about it. I choose to go to bed on time, to wake up and feed myself spiritually, mentally and emotionally.  I choose to value myself so much that exercise becomes a priority and with these set priorities I can flourish.  

This course has taught me so much, essentially it has taught that it starts with me, if I want to be happy or change something it starts with me.  I am grateful for all that I learned in this class, and how I will be able to be a better mother, wife, health and wellness professional and just a better human being all around.
