Based on your reflections and the assessments completed in this course: On a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal well being) where do you rate your A-physical well being, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?

A-physical well being- Then 6, Now 71/2, the positive change has occurred because I improved my health through some weight loss due to diet and exercise and have increased my strength and flexibility.

B-spiritual well being- Then 7, Now 7, the none change because I have failed to more fully explore my beliefs and my religious practicing options.

C-psychological well being- Then 6, Now 8, the positive change is because I have learned to better deal with and cope with stress and emotions, and I have dealt with the root cause of my emotions more so than before. Also I have developed an inner life that I relish in and I continue to learn more and more about myself.

When I first started this class I considered my spiritual and mental well-beings to be key to my happiness. However, I did not consider my happiness a key to my health. Now I realize that my spiritual, emotional, and mental health all play a big role in my overall health. I used to think that health was all biological, that was before I started this program, I quickly learned that wasn't the case. Now, because of this realization, I have become more self-aware, have developed an inner life that I cherish, have learn to better cope with stress and other emotions, and have shared these experiences with a great group of people. You all have been wonderful, supporting, insightful, and generally good classmates. For that, I thank you. And a special thanks to our instructor, Mark Maule, for helping us on our own individual path to human flourishing.
