Unit 10 Final Blog Post

After reviewing my unit 3 personal assessment for psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being I saw that I rated myself as an
  •          8 in Physical
  •     5 in Spiritual
  •         6 in Psychological

In unit 9 I rated my physical level at a
  •        10 in Physical
  •        8 in Spiritual
  •        7 in Psychological

It’s changed by a little bit in a positive way and I think it’s from all that I’ve learned and all the new meditation practices I’ve incorporated.

The goals and activities I’ve set for myself are currently being achieved. I am really active and doing my weekly dance class and yoga/tai chi. I am psychologically not stressing myself or worrying. Spiritually I am practicing my meditation daily and practicing patience and loving-kindness more. When I start to feel irritated I ask myself “Is this how loving-kindness is?” and I think “Nope! Choose happiness, choose acceptance”.


My experience in this course has improved my well being through meditation and relaxation exercises. It has been rewarding because I do feel less stress. The only difficult part is when I am not meditating I need to still keep a calm meditative mind (which I am working on). This whole experience will improve my ability to assist others because I have been through it myself, because I have learned techniques to suggest to help others, and I can show people the benefits of integral health/flourishing and encourage them to self-love and self-heal.

  1. Hi Heather,
    It’s good that all your areas changed some of us didn’t have a great change in all areas like myself. I think it’s just great to see any type of progress in any area no matter how big or small it is. I have to definitely agree with you the meditation practices gave me the change I initially received. They are a great source of peacefully calming practices and great for relaxation techniques and to get that quick peace of mind. I can’t believe I’m just now trying this it would have been useful so many years ago. Great job we made it to the end and learned so many new things which will assist us on our journeys. Good luck!!!!

  3. Nice job Heather! You sound like you knew a lot of these things already but that this course helped to solidify your practice. I also try to replace negative thoughts with positive now and I definitely have to remind myself but it helps. Enjoy your practices!
