Introduction:
Why is it important for health and wellness professionals to develop
psychologically, spiritually and physically? What areas do you need to develop
to achieve the goals you have for yourself?
- It is
important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically,
spiritually and physically because you need to strive to be great in every
aspect of yourself not just certain parts in order to be and feel whole, each
part works together to make each other better within yourself. I still need to
work on all my areas since it is always an on going process to make yourself
the best you.
II.
Assessment:
How have you assessed your health in each domain? How do you score your
wellness spiritually, physically, and psychologically?
- My
wellness in all domains are much better than when I started this process but it
is still an on going thing in life to make every part of you better. In
spiritually I would rate myself an 7.5/8 because I look at this domain in a new
light not just in the form of religion but in the form of being out within
nature and becoming one with the world that surrounds me. In the domain of
physically I would rate myself a 7 because it still needs work I am doing Yoga
every day but I get off track when it comes to intense cardio or anything repetitive
I am still on the search for something meshes well with me. Psychologically I
think I rate pretty okay in since I am in school and I am always trying to use
my brain power and the yoga helps.
