My...how 10 weeks can fly by! I am looking forward to developing my own well-being as well as others. I am 4 terms away from graduating and it's tough to believe I've been back in school since January.
As I look back to the goals I set for myself in Unit 3, I have been mostly successful in reaching those goals. My first was to eat only organic apples...well, I haven't stayed completely true to that. They are EXPENSIVE but I have been washing all of my apples very well! I have been having at least two a day and feel great. Physically I rated myself as an 8. I would say that I would still be an 8. I am one week in to an elimination diet to identify food sensitivities and I am feeling great. I have dropped weight and fitting back into my old jeans! Women, you know how great that feels! Continuing to exercise and eat well for my body.
My second goal was to reconnect with my spirituality and refresh my attunement. With the help of the daily exercise of the subtle-mind I have reconnected with my spirituality and am very thankful for it. I am more conscious of my connection to the spirit world. Spiritually I rated myself a 6. I now rate myself at an 8 in this department. I have been actively working on this area.
My last goal was to work on training my mind to respond to stressors that are out of my control in a more calm and peaceful way. I have been very successful in achieving this goal. Many circumstances have come up over the last few weeks that would have resulted in a response of frustration and undue stress. Being mindful of my surroundings and the response appropriate to each situation has been very peaceful and calm. Psychologically I rated myself an 8. Now I would a 9.5. Loving-kindness exercises have been very beneficially in this aspect.
Before taking this course I thought that I had a positive handle on my mind-body-spirit connection. It was through the exercises and readings that I was able to introduce other ways of achieving integral health that I had not investigated on my own. This course has opened my eyes to greater possibilities and improved the way I treat for my patients. I am more in tune and sensitive to others and the challenges that they face. I am asking different questions that have been leading me to make suggestions to patients that will help to nourish their health.
Best of luck to you all in your future. Maybe I will "see" you again in the upcoming terms.
Love & Light
Hi Stevi,
ReplyDeleteThis was a great course! I am 3 terms from graduating; Im excited and this course has been THE BEST. I really liked how practical it all was. I have learned a lot at Kaplan but not much of it can be immediately applied, like this course can.
I have also been actively working on my spirituality. I thought is was my weakest area and it feels good to focus on it for once.
Congratulations on graduating soon! What is your major? It is great to be so close. I swear I will take a lengthy break from my computer starting the day I graduate.

Stevi I agree this course was awsome! I learned so much and it was perfect timing because alot happened and changed alot in my life in this short 10 weeks and normally I would have been an emotional wreck but beings I learned how to handle stress and emotions better I got threw it suprisingly okay! I cannot wait to share what I have learned with others and put it to practice! I wish you the best of luck!

ReplyDeleteGreat job on achieving your goals! That is so exciting, and I am very happy for you.... It sounds like you learned a lot in this course, and that you are applying these new techniques to your every day life. I moved this past weekend from South Carolina to Florida, and I definitely used these techniques during these past few days just to get through the stress of it all. I know I am so thankful for this course. Good luck with your future years at Kaplan!
