Now that the end of the course is here, in this post I will be evaluating my progress, reviewing my goals and summarizing my personal experiences throughout this course.
I will start by looking back to Unit 3 where I evaluated my current physical, spiritual and psychological state. Originally, for physical I was an 8, spiritual a 7, and psychological a 7 also.
My goal for the physcial was to continue to practice healthy habits and I have stayed the same in that aspect. I will continue to implement healthy diet and exercise habits. I have room for improvement and would like to strive for a healthier diet and to increase the intensity of my workouts.
Spiritually, I was searching for purpose in my life. I am still searching and this will be a lifelong journey. I will focus more on the journey than the destination. To achieve this goal I wanted to participate in meditation and prayer. The meditation part has been somewhat easy to practice as I am using the subtle mind meditation from the Integral Health text. I will continue to dedicate the time to meditate. I am still trying to pray more and I think with the meditation practice it will become easier to pray.
Psychologically, I have stayed the same. My goal was to build confidence by practicing affirmations for 10 minutes daily. I have been travelling and I didn't bring my book with the affirmations. I hope to implement this practice by using the book when I return home at the end of the month. I have stayed the same and hoped to improve, but the spiritual practices have kept me sane so to speak because the meditation helps to calm me and relieve stress which helps psychologically also.
My personal experience throughout this course has been rewarding and illuminating because I was able to reflect, observe and participate in the mindfulness practices that I have learned. I hope to practice them throughout the rest of my life and teach others in the future.
