I don't think this exercise could have come at a worse time. Trying to do this during the holiday was impossible, a house full of family, kids, the stress of everything going on, I could not focus on this no matter how much I tried.

"One can not lead another where one has not gone himself" This instantly reminds me of when I was pregnant. I gained 70 pounds so I had to see a nutritionist. I walked in and there is a lady sitting at a desk and she is about 5'2 and weights over 200 pounds. I am a very fit person and my diet is very strict. I was in shock and found the situation extremely laughable because I could not wrap my head around how this lady was going to give me advice about my weight gain. While I was sitting there she drank soda and ate a big mac. I gave her the passive smile and nodded but took nothing away from our meeting.
I think that as a health care professional you have to lead by example or no one will take you serious.

Integral Assessment

I found by doing the integral assessment there are many areas of my interpersonal and psycho spiritual life. I have let a lot of relationships fall apart, that didn't need too. I have let a lot of my belief system start to falter to accommodate others in my life, to avoid confrontation or strife. I thought it was making things easier but all it has done is create internal conflict. I feel angry more, I have more sleep issues and I over all feel horrible. I having been feeling this way for a while but I think have been avoiding addressing the situation because I know there are going to people, that I love, get hurt the decisions I make to have the changes in my life that are going to ultimately make me happy again.

Subtle Mind Exercise

I like the subtle mind exercise more than the loving kindness exercise. I read through the instructions and found a quite spot. It took a little while for me to consciously control my thoughts. Once I totally focused on my breathing and decided that everything I had to do and needed to do could wait, I got very deep. I noticed that it was easier to shut out outside interruptions. When I was done with the exercise and I let the outside world in, it came rushing in with a vengeance. Everything I was controlling or blocking out bombarded me at once.
Spiritual wellness plays a huge part in all aspects of a person's life. When you are at peace with you life and understand yourself everything else just kind of flows. Spiritual wellness plays a big role in my life because there are a lot of things i can not control but by excepting them I am able to move past them.

I have done a few exercises like the loving kindness exercise. Becoming in touch with yourself and the people you come in contact with really helps you find the positive and be able to look past the negative.
It used to be alot easier to perform exercises like this, before I had a child. My house is never quite and there is always some sort of activity going on. I think if I had more time to focus and be in a totally quite place I would have had better results.

mental exercise is great for many reason. It has be proven that mental exercise reduces the chances of Alzheimer's. Also by keeping you brain activity and your thought process reacting quickly you are better able to deal with stress.

I do a lot of reflection. I find it very helpful when I am not feeing "right"
Physically I am great, there is always room for improvement and the aspects of my life have a direct effect on my physical well-being.
Spiritually I am trying to get right. I have a strong fatih but temptation is everywhere. I try very hard to do the right thing.
Psychologically I am always trying to improve. I deal with a lot of things on a daily basis, not just my life but many others.
Physically I want to star training for a marathon. I know training will help with my spirtiual and psychological well-being. I always have to get in the right mind set to train and it makes me focus on what I am trying t achieve.
