Hello all,
In Unit 3, I scored a 5/10 physically, 7/10 psychologically, and 2/10 spiritually. I now see myself a little better with a 7/10 physically, 8/10 psychologically, and 3/10 spiritually. I have made small improvements, but I say some is better than none! As long as I'm not going backwards I think I'll be okay. Physically, I have been sticking to my 2 mile walks that I complete after work 4-5 days/week. During these walks, as I have said before, I am also taking in nature by listening to the birds, creek, and seeing some other wildlife. Besides the snake I saw last week, it has been a very spiritual and relaxing experience for me. With noticing all of my natural surroundings, I am recentering myself after working all day inside a hospital. I am reconnecting with nature and sometimes I talk to the Almighty and thank him for my health and the beauty of nature He has given us that is present during my walks. So, basically I am getting the benefits of exercise which is also hitting on the psychological and spiritual aspects of my goals. Sometimes I read from the Bible, but that hasn't been as regular as I would like yet. I am definitely making great strides toward my goals and feel proud of myself for it. This has been a wonderful course and it has greatly helped improve my health and well-being. It has all been a rewarding experience. The most difficult parts for me were the meditation exercises, but I will keep working on it and improve with time. This course has given me a lot of tools to help me on the road to helping others improve their lives as well. I feel I have a way to go yet, but I hope to one day become a very successful wellness coach for myself and others.

I agree that exercise can fulfill all three areas of our health and wellness-physical, mental and spiritual. I have always thought that running and yoga have been "all-in-one" practices for me. I de-stress, quiet my mind, reconnect with nature and workout, all at the same time! It's hard to make drastic changes in life all at once, but I think as long as we are actively working towards human flourishing, we will get there soon enough!
