Well! When I look back at my previous assessment…I was rather generous when I see where I am now. I considered my physical health much higher than it really is. Funny how I thought I was in such great shape. To be fair, it was an average of five years ago (a 5) and what I felt in week 3 (a 10—HA!). A 71/2 is not a bad number, but with the knowledge I have now…I am at about a 6 with the growth from this course! Maybe a little higher because I know see what my potential is and attitude counts for something, right?
My spiritual well-being has really stayed about the same. It was a 6 and now I would say a 6 or 7 is my reality. I feel better about my connection but I have been focusing on my mind and body health lately so this area has remained close. I know what to change and, more importantly, how to improve my ‘score’, so I have no problem believing that this number will soon be higher. :-)
The health of my mind has been the biggest surprise, here. I had given myself a number of “5—for most of my day—with spurts of 4’s and 6’s”. Hmmmm. I was really about a true 4 because now I feel as though I am now a 6 with a good way to go. What I base this on, again, is that I now know my potential and what I can become. I could be a 8, but that doesn’t leave me much room for growth, now does it?
I have made progress…in knowledge. I have noticed some healthy changes in all three areas---mind, body & spirit. I’m just excited to see the growth that is ahead of me and the person I will be in 2, 4 or 6 months from now—when all of this is implemented into my daily life. Only then will I be close to full integral health and enjoy human flourishing at its deepest level. And to spend the rest of my life living every minute to the true absolute best…well, what more can I ask for? I have practiced all of the exercises, done all the work, started various journals (prayer/meditations, sleep/dream, diet/mood, and exercise/activity) and have already felt the differences. I feel calmer, happier and healthier than I was a mere 6 weeks ago and this course has not only gotten me there…it has given me tools for life and how awesome is that?
