Unit 3 Review

In Unit 3, I rated on a scale of 1 -10 my physchological, physical, and spiritual well-being. I had also made several personal goals. These goals were in the areas of my physchological, physical, and spiritual well-being.
I rated my pysical well-being equal to an 8 (10 being the best). I felt strong and healthy at the time, and I wanted to stay that way. Plus, I wanted movie star looks. By the end of the course, I rated my physical well-being at a 7. My score dropped. It went down because the winter months came and I am suffering the effects of the cold. I don't tolerate cold well. My skin and hair gets more dry. I have fallen several times on the ice. That hurts! But, I still exercise 5 days a week. I do yoga 2 days, spin 3 days, and I am now training for a half marathon. I also don't care if I look like a movie star...(Well, I sorta do. It depends on the day. Hehe...) Besides, I am a hottie in my own mind!

My spiritual wellbeing was also rated equal to an 8. Like my physical health, I felt strong. But, I lacked the commitment to improve through my scripture study.
By the end of this course, my spirituality went down to a 7. I met my goal of regularly reading my scriptures. I feel uplifted and edified in doing it. My score went down because through all of my meditating and praying and self awareness, I realized I have so much more to learn! Still, I know I will improve if I continue these activites. ....Maybe not in this lifetime, but someday....
 

My psychological health was rated equal to a 4 at the beginning of this course. I was so incredibly stressed out with all that I had to do in school while maintaining my home, being a mom and wife, and doing everything else. I was physically and mentally exhausted!
However, by the end of this class I feel I have triumphed over all. I have finished this term with awesome grades. I did my best and it paid off. I ended the course rating my psychological health with improvemnets from a 4 in unit 3 to a 6 by week 9 of this class. But, today, in week 10 I my psychological health is at an 8. I am not going to lie...

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE DONE WITH THIS TERM!!!! 

This was a great class. Don't get me wrong.... It was just a lot of work! It pulled me away from my #1 responsibility of being a mom and wife. Hated that! I also NEVER had time for myself. I also hated that! It was tough. But, I stuck it out. I learned a lot. I am walking away feeling edified - no.... enlightened. I am a better person today having learned what I have learned. I don't have the stress from all the work. And, I am only 1 term away from graduation. Yippee!

So, to recap... My unit 3 goals were:

1.) Keep working out Daily..... Check!
2.) Read my scriptures Daily.... Check!
3.) Stay in school. Get good grades by doing all my reading assignments, homework, and discussions well and on time, and stay positive.... Check, Check, and Check!

My overall experience in this course was a positive one. I learned so much about myself and also about what I am personally interested in, which is meditation, prayer, and overall well-being. I believe I have developed a more improved well-being, but also more motivation to continue seeking more enhanced well-being. This was a wonderful course, despite all the hard work. And, trust me... there was a whole lot of hard work in this class!

There is a picture of Christ that I was raised to know. In it he said, 

How true that is!

In the end I am a better person. I am also better capable of helping others, because I have now walked the walk.
