Last blog everyone. So I was looking at how I scored myself back in unit 3, and I have to say that I probably stand right about the same level. No gain, but no loss. I rated myself a 7 physically, an 8 spiritually, and a 9 psychologically. Physically, there has been no change. As I stated in the unit 3 blog, I just have not had any extra time to workout until now. But, since this is my very last class, I should have some free time coming up. Of course my wife is going to be having our second child within the next two weeks. Hopefully, I can find a little extra time. So, I did not reach my goal physically.
Sprirtually, I would say that I have not changed. I am most disappointed in that. I have not made any extra time for prayer and meditation. I pray throughout the day, but it is not the same as taking a designated time to be alone with God. I will definitely make time for that.
I feel that I may have overrated myself just a bit. I am probably more like a 7 in this area. I don't believe that I have lost ground here. I just think that I was a 7 to begin with and simply didn't realize it. I still feel pretty great about where I am psychologically. I just can see a little room for improvement.
I have mixed feelings about this course. I definitely can see the benefits of integral health and human flourishing. But I had a hard time with the course. I did not enjoy many of the exercises. I do think, though, that some of it has to do with this being my last course. It was an open elective for me, and I am a little burned out at this point. All I wanted to do was to finish this class and graduate. I do feel that there are some aspects that I will be able to take with me in my personal and professional life, though. Hopefully, as a nurse practitioner, I will be able to address all of my patient's needs and promote integral health.
Thanks to everone for all of your comments. I wish you all the best of luck.
John
