My Integral Life


It is important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically, spiritually and physically because with all these the body is able flourishing and in complete health. I would say that the areas that need to work on to achieve my goals would be psychologically and spiritually. I am physically achieve almost every day and have a both healthy weight and body mass. In my spiritual life I need to find more quiet time to pull together the natural flow of the soul and center myself. I would like to develop calming my mind and being able to filter my thoughts without thought.
The way I assessed my health in each domain was different for each of them. My physical ability is tested through fitness test, body mass, fat percentage, and weight. This way I was able to see if my physical ability matched my body mass. In the psychological practice of quieting the mind was the test I used to assess my level. If I was unable to keep my thoughts from being cluttered I knew that I had not reach my full potential. In my spiritual life I can notice and use as an assessment the uneasiness I feel and how quick I loose my temper.
The goals I have for myself in all the areas are different for each one. The goal I would set for myself for physical would be the ability to complete my triathlons faster than the time before. I know that is broad goal but improving at all is good for me at this point. My psychological goal would be to take time to implement programs that help develop thought process. The spiritual aspect of my life would be to mediate each morning before I start my day.
The practices that I would implement to help foster growth would be the loving kindness for my spiritual growth. This would help me in the mornings start my day thinking of other and start my soul in a happy direction of love. Exercise that I could do would be prayer and meditation. I would use the calming mind for psychological to help my mind filter through thoughts at the end of the day and become clear again. I would like to do memory games and mediation.  As for physical I would use my exercise program to better my ability as a triathlete and progression. Exercise that would be for physical growth would be yoga and running for me.
It is important to be able to assess the progress of the programs and goals. The way I could assess my own growth would be to take the fitness test, psychological test, and mediation test over in six months. The relationships that I have should improve over six months as well and that can be a long term affect of progression. The best way to maintaining this type of health and wellness long-term would be live it daily and let it be a part of every day life.
