Spiritual: 3
Overall
I've made some amount of progress towards my goals. Although, I think part of the variation in scores for my Spiritual and Psychological wellness stem from an increased level of understanding about what those aspects of my life entail. This class has especially helped me understand the dividing line between spirituality and psychology for someone that isn't religious.
While I haven't increase my physical activity, I have been maintaining my previous level and therefore rated myself the same. Pshychologically I assessed myself two points higher than I did in week two. Seeing a therapist bi-weekly and practicing cognitive behavioral exercises is helping me reduce anxiety and alleviate depression, which has been wonderful. Spiritually, I'm about the same as I was in wek three except that I now have a clear path and sense of clarity about what spirituality means for me. For this reason I raised my assessment by one point.
This has been a great educational experience for me, in part because it's provided a good foundation for understanding the areas of my life that require more of my attention. Even though I really struggled with understanding the spiritual aspect of integral health, I'm now armed with a lot of good information to continue development. Just by sharing what I've learned in this class I've heard that my friends have been able to make some positive progress in their own wellness.
