       I.            INTRODUCTION

It is important to understand the meaning of wellbeing, health and mind. As researchers have found that wellness, health and mind have much to do with spiritual and physical process through a psychologically process. Although this process take much more than training and following guidelines, ones experience can be very valuable to the results of others. Ones experience help understand the way many people feel, and easier to lead them to find that wellness and inner peace they are searching for.

I have set up a goal for myself; I do say it is going to take lots of commitment and dedication. My goal is to make time to meditate, do Yoga at least three times a day; this should not be hard since I used to maintain this schedule two years ago. However it’s been two years and my body is used to being lazy.

    II.            ASSESMENT

Analyze my state of being, not only physically but spiritual and psychologically. In order to asses myself I must follow a few exercised referred by the book of Dacher (2006)

The aspect of my life that causes me more distress of all I can say having patience towards my teenager. I get very frustrated with my daughter even though most of the time I sit and calm myself to come to a clear mind and realize she is only 16, but still end up with frustration because I know I cannot protect her from the world as much as I would like to. I know that it is very important to be patient and that would be bring many benefits not only for me but towards my children. Although it gets very difficult along the way, requires commitment and effort to get long-term results instead of short-term that last only a few minutes. I have a goal in mind and if that goal requires more of my time and commitment  to develop a better spiritual and physical self being, I need all that it can benefit me not only in a spiritual way but such as energy and clear mind, I will be more focus on how I respond to my children. My spirituality has been improving as I attend bible studies and become more involved with the word of God, it has help me soften my heart to things I would not even consider doing in life. I have found peace of mind that for many years I could not find in life. Although this requires a self check help you get back in track if ever have questions or doubts.

            I am going to be honest with myself, I score FAIR, I am working on every aspect of my life, its been only 1 yr ½ since I started this process and still have a long way to go. The same goes for my spiritual wellness I score myself FAIR still have a long way to go. Hmmm as for my physical wellness I can say POOR  since I hurt my foot One year ago, I stop exercising and that lead to about 11-12 pound over weight not happy with it. I know this can be fixed pretty easy by exercising again.

 III.            GOAL DEVELOPMENT

   Physical Goal—start and maintain a regular exercise like Yoga that includes meditation or Zumba, at least an hour, and three days per week, must get rid off those extra pounds.

Psychological Goal- have patience for my teenager and complete my bachelors in Science in Business Administration, gong into my last term.

Spiritual Goal – As part of my exercise program Yoga it includes quiet time meditation quiet time and of course attending my bible classes twice a week plus service will help me gain that peace of mind.  

 IV.            PRACTICES FOR PERSONAL HEALTH

Physical Strategies:

Accountability – I find myself accountable to my children and my better half by letting them know what my goal is and ask them for support and help me keep me on track.

Go – as part of exercising I have committed to take my daughter to school walking that is about five blocks from home every morning.

Finish – My goal is to obtain my bachelors in Science in Business Administration and don’t give up.

Study – I don’t have the best grades, however I must study very hard for my grades and my grade point average won’t drop.

Intention – by attending bible study twice a week will help me concentrate on my spirituality.

Join – I can also volunteer in the church help those in need of any child care while they attend service or bible study.

    V.            COMMITMENT

I will check every aspect of my life and its process such as; physical, spiritual, and psychological.

Physically, I have no set myself to a challenge; my daughter has to get to school and what a better way to exercise, there is no way I cannot commit to this challenge unless it’s snowing, which it can happen.

            Spiritually, there is a way to check myself as one of the pastors mention this week, every time I look at myself in the mirror, to avoid looking directly on the way we look physically it must be the way we look and feel within, which every day will be different and look more godly, also it will show on the way we communicate with the people that are around us, in a better humble way, with open and soft hearts, with PACIENCE.. This is going to be quite a challenge for me, but will overcome any obstacle.

By completing my spiritual and physical goals will lead to long-term amazing results that include peace of mind, confidence, patience and energy I have been searching for such a long time. Completing my bachelors will allow me to reach that goal of achievement and confidence, it is also a way of leading my children to a better life of their own, and showing them that with commitment and dedication anything is possible and it’s never too late or no one can ever be too old to for a new beginning.
