THEN:
* psychological: 6
* physical: 7
* spiritual: 8.5

NOW:
* psychological: 7
* physical: 6
* spiritual: 8.5

Spiritually I am still going strong. There will be moments when I did not praise God when I should have or took the credit when of course it was/is all God, but I am still learning and growing my faith. I would say that my physical health has decline because I still have not made a disciplined effort to get back into my workout schedule. However, I have been eating very healthy so at least I have that going for me. If I were not eating as healthy then I would be in trouble. :) I do believe that my psychological health has improved. I believe that the exercise techniques and practices that I learned throughout this course has helped me to deal with my stress and worries better and just every day life. I am able to focus on the more important things and to not sweat the small things. My spiritual life has definitely helped in this area as well.

GOALS:
* psychological: My goal...Philippians 4:6 "Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything" has definitely been put to use. I know instead of worry about things and sweating the small stuff...or the big stuff...I have a new outlook on life and can deal with these stressors. My strong spiritual life has helped me meet my mental and emotional goals.

* physical: I have improved the least in this goal. I do however still take my dog out on walks everyday, so at least I have that going for me. For some reason I just have not gotten back into the workout zone YET. Oh I will one day, but I just keep putting other priorities first.

* spiritual: I have met and still meeting my praying all the time goal. I wouldn't say this is a goal, it is more of a lifestyle for me. However I do have days go by where I do not read scripture or do my bible study. I feel different when I don't do those. It has become such a part of me and my faith that when I fall behind I feel less of a person. So I just need to keep up my daily readings and usually all the other things in life fall into place. :)

ACTIVITIES:
* psychological: praying = check, making lists = check, prioritizing = can use a little help.

* physical: scheduled workouts = no where near checked. I need to have a talk with my husband and his accountability partner responsibilities. ;)

* spiritual: surrounding myself with positive, Godly people = check. I am still around some negative and/or non believers, but I feel that I have gotten more comfortable and confident to speak up and dominate with encouragement and positivity. I do need to work on my daily bible readings. I can get off a day or two and it affects my whole day.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
I am almost through with my degree here and have been through many courses, but I truly appreciate this class. Not only did I learn a lot of educational information, but I also learned about myself. Plus I met amazing people in this class who helped me gain as much as I could have out of this course. I would say that I have developed improved well-being. I have learned many exercises and techniques to better my mind, spirit, and body. I am not quite there at human flourishing, and I know I have a ways to go, but I know what it can be like when I do get there!

I would say this experience has brought out my flaws, but in a good way. How are you supposed to improve anything if you do not know what it is you are improving or what needs improving? I hope to use this information and wisdom that I learned to help others. Everyone deserves to live life full of health, happiness, and wholeness.
