Personal Assessment and Experience



    Looking back at my Unit 3 assignment helped me to see how much I have grown over the course of this term. After referring to my unit 3 assignment, I found that I had rated my physical well being an 8, my psychological well-being an 8, and my spiritual well-being a 6. This course has helped me to understand that taking care of the body is only a small part of creating an entire sense of wholeness. There were so many techniques and theories that I had not heard of before and was glad to start implementing them in my life. As of now I would rate my physical well-being still around an 8 or 8.5 because I feel that there is also room for improvement. Being able to take care of yourself physically cannot only help you stay healthy, but it can be a great example to set for friends and family. My psychological well-being has increased slightly to an 8.5 or 9 because I feel that I have more techniques to use when dealing with stress and to quiet the mind. Lastly, my spiritual well-being jumped to around a 7.5 or 8 because of my new found understanding of the power of prayer. I would like to continue to foster this idea and see just how far it takes me. There is no stopping the flow of health, by nurturing it, it can only blossom!



      AS we near the end of this term, I feel that I have grown tremendously over the course of this class. Being able to listen to others in this class was such a comfort and blessing due to the stories and sharing we all accomplished. this class helped me to see things in a new light and has helped me not only in my personal life, but also in my career. Being in the health and wellness industry, we are faced with a variety of issues, and having the right knowledge and tools can greatly improve the quality of care that we extend to our clients. As we all go forth on our adventures and lives in the field, I wish you the very best and hope that we can still all comment and contribute to each others blogs. Having a personal network of professionals can help with the formulation of new ideas and topics for discussion. Good luck everyone and your time here at Kaplan with fly by so enjoy every minute of your educational careers!

  1. Hello Jen-

    You have set three very good goals for yourself, prayer, exercise, and reduce stress to continue on your journey. Prayer and exercise are two of mine. I too relize the importance of mind, body,spirit treatment for yourself and others.


    It has been a great class. There has been so much to gain from this class in such a little time.

  2. That is really great Jen! You are right, it sounds as if you have done a lot of growing within this class. I am really happy for you! It means you will grow even more the more you implement the new things you have learned. I have become reconnected to my spiritual side again through this class and feel more confident that I will continue to grow and gain knowledge to help others, since having taken this class. Good luck to you in the future.

  3. Hi Jen,

    That is great it sounds like you really learned a lot in this class. I also feel I have really grown where I really needed it. As a nutritionist I am so glad I took this course because I will be implementing these practices with my clients because as we have learned you cannot have a healthy body without a healthy mind and spirit. Good luck! Lisa

  8. Jen,
    Nice job on yourself assessments I feel you have a real good understanding of yourself and what you need to obtain integral health. I also find that in this course that physical part of health is not the only influencing factor, which has made me rewrite my workouts and how I approach things in life as well. This has been a great class I feel everyone should take it at some point.
