Final Project Assessment

1. Introduction: The process of development in all aspects related to psychology, spiritually, and physically as a health and wellness professional is extremely important because if I intent to help and serve others in the ways of human flourishing, than I myself need to develop these areas so that I may evolve within myself and flourish to newer, deeper levels of consciousness. I need to keep my inner and outer vessel sharp and healthy because the journey within the self is always changing nothing can ever stay the same so to grow I must practice each aspect individually. I must not neglect anyone area because it's easier or harder than the rest, each area will take equal dedication and devotion. I will learn to listen to each area through the development process and I will learn to respect each are, then I will learn to let go when the area has reached a certain limitation. Through this cycle I will continue to learn, develop, and evolve everyday, this is a never ending cycle one will never reach completeness, since the world is ever changing so are our minds and the journey will continue even after I am no longer here. All three areas bring different goals because different aspects of life are taught/learned through them, they are all interconnected and this is why each individual area is considered equal as well as important.
2. Assessment: Each domain can be assessed on a scale from 1-10. 1=lowest and 10=highest possible rank each area can receive. I have taken into consideration what I do for each domain and how I try to develop them daily if I do at all. This is how I ranked each:
   Physically: 8, because I am conscious of how important physical fitness and nutrition are to me. I am a certified instructor so I work on my fitness daily, but I am also aware of my body when it's is in pain when I have pushed myself to the limit and I know when to listen and back off to avoid any further damage or pain to my body. I need my body to work for me for work for play and for everyday that's why I have to work for my body. I have altered my diet to be a healthier one for me. I am an ovo-vegetarian which means the only animal product I consume are eggs. I also try and eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables as well as Organically grow produce. I need to make the commitment to go all whole foods so that I can eliminate all processed foods to get back to a healthier, natural diet and holistic way of living. I also meditate weekly.
   Spiritually: 6, I work on this daily but it is a struggle. I do not go to church but that is because I do not associate with a specific denomination or religion. This does not mean that spirituality is attained solely through a church, a church is just a structure the community which I seek to support and to congregate with so that I can be challenged is where I falter in this domain. I have a mentor who pushes me to seek to challenge and to explore the greatness I have to offer people, He is only one man he can only push me so far so here I have to take those leaps and trust myself that all I will do is for good, is for others. This is how I will improve my spiritual side.
   Psychologically: 5, In this domain I need to go further, I need to understand certain things of the why, the how, and what, within me before I can proceed. With the other two aspect of development I already know what I must to do to evoke or start the process, but here I don't that's why this will take a little longer for me in my daily journey. I can listen well to others but for me to develop that strong sense of me I need to be able to let go of all expectations;. Here I need to learn how to let people in and to trust those who want to help me along the way. I need to learn how to let someone love me because through all things love is always present but when I exclude this vital role then I hinder any progression of development.
   
   
   
   
3. Goal development: There will always be goals and once they are achieved new ones For now this is what I will set for myself and hold myself accountable for:
   Physical: Daily meditation and yoga. This is so I can connect the mind and body eventually effortlessly. I will eat better everywhere even when I am not in a controlled environment where I can make these decisions.
   Psychological: To be mindful of myself and of others, and of the choices that affect me as well as the well being of others. I will be consciously aware of my actions and thoughts because they directly effect me but can permeate and passively effect others.
   Spiritually: I will think with a purpose that is selfless. I will work harder for others even when I know there is no physical or materialistic reward.
   
   
4. Practices for personal health:
   Physical: I will practice yoga and meditate before I do anything in the morning and when I am done for the day. I will buy foods that provides the best nourishment for me and If I am in a place where I wouldn't normally eat the foods provided I will stick to my convictions without any huge fuss.
   Psychologically: I will hold my temper and my tongue I will give people the benefit of the doubt and trust their better judgment, if it does not cause me harm or ill will. I will smile more, I will also volunteer more in a setting that takes me out of my comfort level.
   Spiritually: I will write my thoughts and feeling, I will acknowledge them as true and I will work on them so they benefit myself and those around me. I will also give without expecting a return.
   
   
5. Commitment: I will write my goals out on paper, I will hang them on my wall next to my bed so that every morning I get up I am aware of my goals and the commitment I am making to myself. I will evaluate each day by taking into consideration the goal for the day and how it was attained or implemented the day before. If will seek new ways to actively achieve each goal I have set for myself so that I am exploring every option and opportunity. I will ask people for help who I know can benefit my personal flourishing in either one aspect or all. I will be a better person because of this and I will share with others.
