Unit 10 Summary

In Unit 3 I rated myself for the following: Physiological - 9, Physical - 7 and Spiritual - 8, now I would rate myself Physiological - 9, Physical - 9 and Spiritual-9. I also think that these numbers can change based on what is happening in a person's life.

Based on what I have learned, I have just started to work on my goals and hope in about 4 weeks that everything is second nature that I can say I am at a 10 in some of those areas.  My plan for physiological is to re-read the Dacher book and also train my brain. I have been very fortunate to have found a role model who is mentally fit so I am hoping to observe and learn from him. In the area of physical I have started a workout routine daily and will start to incorporate more yoga and mediation yoga where I can. And in the area of spiritual I have found that I am doing more prayer both in the am and the pm and will start scheduling church. I have started making some progress in each of these areas and know for me that I need to schedule it so that I follow the plan.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this class, it has helped me the most in the area of mental fitness in identifying what is mental fitness and how to I achieve human flourishing. I now am more aware of mental fitness and now that everyone is beautiful. I am more aware of my reactions and will try to train my brain so that I can find that silver lining. This classed has shared a lot more resources to share. I will recommend the Dacher book and will re-read it myself.

I think about people who are role models and my mother is always a happy person and she finds a silver lining in everything. She is a happy person so I think this is an example of human flourishing.

I have had an opportunity to counsel an agent who is experiencing a breakup and is turning to alcohol. I have talked with him about this is a process that he will need to work through on this own time and terms however, to think more positive so that he does not self destruct. I told him that sometimes we need to reinvent our self and that maybe it was time for him to do this. I also suggested meditation, visualization and setting mini-goals. He is not a stranger to meditation as he said he used to do it and enjoyed it so he was going to get back into it.  I also told him to visualize who he wanted to be and work towards that. Then I told him to make mini goals such as I will not drink alone so that he does not revert back into a negative depression state.  I checked on him 3 days later and he thanked me for the talk and the resources.  He said that he is feeling better!

This is just one example where I could help someone overcome by the knowledge and tools that I have learned in this class.
Good Luck to All and Thank You Professor!!!
