Introduction:
It is important
for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually,
and physically because it helps to maintain confidence in the practices you
have work to develop in order to experience the full benefits of overall health
and wellness. Each individual you
approach will have a more relaxed essence about them selves and feel more
comfortable when they see your progress you have maintain in your life. Ever area of my life I need to make
sure that I don’t loose sight of my psychologically, spiritually, and
physically they all work together to make me to be a survivor, a believer, a
student, wife, mother, and a friend on this journey.
II. Assessment:
When you’re seeking spiritual wellness and balance in your
own life, look within.
Wellness Spiritually- 9; I believe
the mind/body/spirit needs
to be in balance for you to live a healthy and fulfilled life. However, what is
balanced and right for one person may not be for another. Therefore, I choose not compare
myself to others and seek to find what my purpose, and density is on this
journey.
Physically- 6; because I am steady
a work in progress who is seeking to empower my nutrition and my body
performance.
Physical wellness has always been a concerned of mines and taking personal responsibility for my own health
care, while at the same time embracing a more natural approach to my health and
wellness . Such as caring for minor illnesses and knowing when to seek
professional medical attention.
Psychologically Wellness -8 ; Every area of my life need to
be at a balance, the physical benefits of looking good and feeling great most
often lead to the psychological benefits of enhanced self-esteem, self-control,
determination and a sense of direction. Often times since our bodies and brains are connected. (American
Psychological Association, n.d.) Stress can take a toll on our physical health,
while physical challenges can also bring new stress into our lives. By
understanding how stress impacts our health and what steps we can take to stay
emotionally balanced, we can lay the foundation for complete wellness.

IV. Practices for personal health:
A healthy spirituality, physical and psychological allows us
to find inner peace throughout all the events of life, whether good or bad. I
choose to learn day by day to stop and enjoy the moment and appreciate the
depth of life. I will implement theses things in my life:
Seek to develop a relationship
with Yahweh (God).
Take time alone to
reflect on my life.
Care for the welfare
of my family and others whom I come in contact with.
Practice forgiveness
and compassion
Let go of unnecessary
distractions.
V.
Commitment:
Change doesn't happen over night it’s a process so keep pushing forward!
Health and Wellness has become
apart of my life, for the 6 years or so and everyday I build off of the next
even when I stumble. This is not a fad for me, this is a lifestyle and one I
want to carry on into my old age. I will use what I have learned on my journey
and the nuggets that have been toss my way by others and apply them to my life
and use them as stepping stones to get to the next level.
