Hi Everyone,
I have learned many new things about myself throughout this course as I'm sure you have as well. In the beginning I rated my physcial and psychological well-being as 7 and 8 due to the fact I have been working on these areas for the last 2 years to improve my overall health after being diagnosed with high blood pressure. Some of the improvements I wanted to make was increasing my physcial activity by adding an extra day of walking and I have done that and starting on 8/15/11 I have signed up for a Zumba class 2 days a week to also improve my physcial health. My psychological health I planned to increase my relaxing time in the evening and weekends by cutting back on hours at work that really were not needed and improve on meditation techniques to helop me relax. I have cut back on the hours and that has helped tremendously to actually go home at a decent time so I can keep my schedule of walking and just sitting outside relaxing late in the evening. I do plan to use the Dacher CD now that we have completed it and see the benefit it can bring to my life. This CD can help me with the psychological and the spiritual which I rated as a 3 in the begining. I have improved in this area, but still need much needed improvement and I pland to practice these techniques given to us in this course to assist me in this quest. My overall well-being has improved and I have come to realize that all 3 of these areas can benefit my in my health and well-being and plan to take advantage of the new found knowledge I now have.

HI Tracie, I think that we all have learned a little bit about ourselves in this course. We all have found areas in our own personal lives that we could improve or change. By doing this not only have we learned how to practicie integral health in our own lives but, how to teach others in these practices as well. It is essential as we go into the health care profession that we are healthy and have learned the knowledge and wisdom to be able to help someone else. Although I am the fitness guru, I have also recently signed up for Zumba classes. I have never done it before but, I absolutely love it. I go with my daughter who is trying to become more active. We have a great time that really gives us a good work out. Also, I think that it is wonderful that you cut back your work hours, more people should do this! Work alone can cause so much anxiety and stress which in turn cause an array of illnessses. I am sure your body and mind has thanked you for it. Even though I have lost my full time job during the day and I struggled a little bit with money, I have never felt better. I have reduced so much stress and anxiety that I was having at work. Everything happens for a reason! I wish you all the best and I hope you continue to peruse you healthy practices in the future.
