Final Thoughts for Unit 10.

On a scale from 1 to 10 for Unit 3, I scored myself as the following:

Physical 3 or 4, and I did not actually give a number to the other 2 areas. However, for this unit I would have say that my physical wellbeing is a 7 because I am pain free for the time being in my back after receiving another set of spinal injections. I am still incorporating small exercises that I can do in hopes to strengthen everything again and hope that my physical wellbeing will continue to get better.

Spiritually, I would say that I am at a complete 10. I have been in silent prayer and doing an abundant amount of meditation in the past couple of days because my very close friend’s mother that was put in ICU in December and got to come home has now passed away on Sunday, unfortunately. I have been in meditation to deal with my pain from the loss but also to reach out to my friend and her loved ones as they continue to go through the process of this loss.

Psychological, I would say that I am at an 8. I believe that I will continue to grow in this area, as well as the others while I continue on through my journey and may even have the scores keep changing as well. We do not know what life has in store ahead of us but we just have to keep going regardless of what it is. J

I have made progress towards my goals that I set in Unit 3 as I have stated above. I do small exercises that have been approved for me to do and simply take each day as it comes when dealing with my physical wellbeing. There are going to be good days and days that are not so good but to keep going is the only answer for that. Spiritually, I am doing very well because I use prayer as a way to help me utilize this part of my wellbeing and meditation gives me the time to reflect and still all of the mental chatter. Psychologically, I am continuing to grow and work toward finding the best balance for me. This journey is not one that I will accomplish overnight and I realize that.

My personal experience throughout this course has been abundant. I cannot say that I was a true believer when I first entered this class because I had my doubts, but I can honestly say that this course has been such an eye-opening and enjoyable experience for me. To be able to learn how to let everything dissipate into the thin air while meditating and be able to feel so relaxed, calm, and stress-free has truly been a blessing. Sometimes, it does not last through the entire day and I need to incorporate another session of meditation, I am still a lot less stressed out than I have ever been in my life.

I have offered to help my family members learn how to do the exercises and see if it can improve their lives as well. The world is a crazy place and there are people in it who are going to see fit to make our day be as negative as it possibly can be but when you can take those few minutes and drift away in your visualization to the beach or to a more happier time, then those people can never have that kind of control over your emotions, wellbeing, and mind anymore.
