My Health Plan

Introduction:

            It is very important for all health and wellness professional to have the ability to develop physiologically, spiritually, and physical plan to make sure they truly understand their patients needs and wants within their lives. I am convinced it is very important to practice what you preach. To be the best provider you can be for your patients, you need be able guide them through their life so each of them can reach integral health the most effective way they can. Being ability to learn how physiological fundamental works within the body will help to acknowledge the role of the mind in health and disease. Having the ability to develop spiritually we will be able to discover unknown ability to co-create with nature and the structure and function of our mind and body (Dacher, 2006). When you start development physical plan everything then will come into place.

            Looking at what I need to develop, I would say spiritually. The one thing I want to say is that I do believe in God. There are many times I have a very difficult time connecting spiritually within myself. The one thing I tell myself is that I need to believe all of the time, not just now and then. I do believe having a spiritually mind will help keep the mind and body in shape. My goal in my life is to work with children on their health and wellness. I would do this by educated them on the benefits on fitness, proper nutrition, and the diseases that can be causes by poor fitness. By proper education we can limit children obese we have in the world today.

Assessment:

            I am convinced that assessments are very important parts of someone life to determine what their health status is. According to Dacher (2006), without knowing which aspects of our life to work with we cannot effectively choose the right practice or efficiently progress toward integral health and healing. As I look at what we have done within this class I have the opportunity to assess my health in the following areas physiologically, spiritually, and physical. The question is where am I in these. I am going to assess those parts of my life in the following scale 1-5 (one being poor and 5 being very good) to see where my personal levels are.

            Physiologically well-being score would be 3 out of 5. I believe I could work on this part of my health. I struggle with this because I want to changes things in the world. I have a lot of positive things happen within my life with my family, friends, and job that bring me to emotions I couldn’t describe. But there is a time when negative things happen within my life I wish I could explain. This is the part that truly bothers me. Overall I do enjoy my life even those there are difficult times.

            Spiritually well-being score would be 3 out of 5. I believe that my having a strong spiritually belief can improve your quality of life. I am truly convinced that this can reduce stress within your life by just having faith and hope that will get through situations that comes into your life.

            Physical well-being score would be 5 out of 5. I can say this because I still workout 6 out 7 days of the week.  My workout program is different everyday of the week with it lasting any where from 45 minutes to 90 minutes. I use to focus on heavy weighting early on but now it more on aerobic exercises. The one thing I have change that has truly improve health is what I am eating and how much. I believe taking in the right amount of calories is important part of physical well-being.

Goal Development:

            Physiologically goal is to never be ok with what is going on. I believe I need to continue to strive for higher levels of physiologically well-being. The first thing is to increase my overall happiness within my family and to eliminate any negative parts of my life and replace them with positive parts. By having positive thoughts will give the mind the opportunity to strengthen.

            Spiritually goal is to continue to have balance within my life. I am going to continue to researching the bible and having a better understanding the meaning of it. By doing this it will give me the peace I am looking for and help my family with this as well.

            Physical goal is to continue improve my overall health, which will help my mind and body as well. As part of my physical goal I would like to add more yoga, stretching routine within my workout. I right now only do 2 days a week, so I would like to add 2 more days. By doing this it would give me the complete workout that I am looking for.

Practices for Personal Health:

            Physiologically strategies: I believe their activities you can do to improve and implement within your life. I first want to strengthen my mind because with a strong mind you can accomplish a lot more. By having the proper mental training for you’re mind you can reduce a lot emotions that you may have. These emotions can be hate, fear, worry, and anger and you can replace them with positive emotions like love, patience, and happiness. The one strategy I would use would be meditation. I feel meditation can bring your mind to an area where you could limit all of those negative thoughts you may be having. I feel if you can meditate for at least 20 minutes a day it would bring you into a place where you are feeling good about yourself.

            Spiritually strategies: The strategy I would do is meet with someone who as more knowledge on the spiritually belief. Having someone to guide you like a pastor/priest with this it will give you the knowledge that you are looking for, because this can be very confusing at times. I would met them at least once a week, once I felt comfortable I would go on my own but I would plan meeting with them at least once a month.

            Physical strategies: I would do this my changing what I do on certain days in my program. By doing this it would make my program more interesting for me. If you kept the same routine everyday it would get boring and I might lose interest. I feel changing up every 3 months is the best thing I have done and well continue to do. The best strategy is to enjoy your workout program because if you don’t you will not continue with it.

Commitment:

            The one way I would be ability to assess my progress within the next six months is making goals for myself. I would have short and long term goals for myself. Without goals most people do not complete things they have started. Once I understand all of my goals I would then use the proper techniques for physiologically, spiritually, and physical parts I am working on. I would then track my process through out the entire process by using some type of journal that I could record my results. I have found this is the best way to see if you are staying on track with your goals.
