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.
