My Psychological & Spiritual Wellness Thus Far

Since this class mindfullness and meditation has helped me find a part of myself that I  never knew or understood before. The health of my mind. I have been able to understand what stressors in my life make me feel overwhelmed and anxious. Instead of bundling everything up into one thing and saying to myself "oh its just stress" as a generalization. I have now been able to carefully examine each stressor as an individual. I can now be aware of what it is that makes me feel unhappy and anxious. I can then take that knowledge and focus on removing these thoughts as individual units and carefully replacing each one with positivity and happiness. I no longer feel the need to brush off everything as stress. I can actually take a closer look at my spiritual and psychological well being and condition my mind to block out negative and bring in positive. This is a great way for me to examine other things in my life and helps me to do the same in my physical wellbeing and health.


The saying"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" means that you must be aware of your own integral health journey before you can beging to help other on theirs. I think that this can apply directly to the health and wellness field as a professional because it is very important that we understand the road and journey that our patients will be traveling on their journey. I feel as though I do have a veyr important obligation to maintain and continue developing my health psychologically, physically, and spiritually. This is so that we may teach other about the hardships and obstacles that they may come across on their journeys. We can be a mentor to them and prepare them for what they may experience. We can relate to them much easier and have a better doctor patient relationship.
