Wrapping Up - Unit 10

In unit 3, I rated my level of physical well-being as 9.  As of today, it increased to 9.5; the reason, I think because I have improved on my psychological and spiritual areas.  And of course, as one aspect is improved it impacts the others because each is dependent on the other for true wholeness to occur.

My level of spiritual well-being would be 8.  I feel much stronger in my belief and my connectedness with the ‘Ultimate” being.  I belief this is the reason why I’m here and have achieved so much throughout my career and life all because of his constant presence in my life.

As I thoroughly assess my psychological well-being, I believe my rating would be 8.5.  The reason is I now have a stable mental attitude toward life, stress free and always positive in my thoughts and actions.  The practicing of meditation exercises, the subtle mind, and loving-kindness has brought me this rating.  I have now achieved a sense of inner peace, calmness and awareness, to say the least.

I believe I have made improvements in all areas.  I continue to stand up for what is just and honest even when it’s not popular and when all the odds are against me; my spiritual well-being, I am committed to help others in any way I can and make a difference in their lives.  I continue to seek the “Ultimate” one and try my utmost best to ask myself “what would this “Super” being do if he is faced with whatever I’m challenged with this moment?   Psychological well-being, I practice meditation each night before bedtime and first thing in the morning, practice yoga before I go about my daily activities allowing my thoughts and feelings to be stable.

As I specified above in the evaluation of my goals - I have without a doubt implemented exercises for well-being in each of the three regions. I am developing in calming and training the mind through meditation, loving kindness and visualization practices. I have started reading positive mental books and grasping the moments of life and settling on cognitive decisions with my time, my relationships, and bringing every objective on with a positive mental attitude.   

Throughout this course, I have learned so much and grown in all three aspects tremendously.  Most importantly, I have understood how the mind is so powerful and capable of unimaginable growth and development if trained in the proper manner.  Incorporating the various meditation practices, such as the subtle mind, the Loving-kindness practice has transformed my inner being and brought about so much self-confidence and profound stability and stillness into my life.  As a result, my overall well-being is improving day by day.

As for my future profession in the field of nutrition, my goal is to own a whole foods store with a juice and smoothie bar.  My obligation is to counsel clients/patients to alter their diet and lifestyle in positive ways.  Of course, I will also incorporate integral healing which promotes healing of the mind, body and spirit in order to achieve optimal health and wellness toward human flourishing.
