Hello Everyone,
I just want to say I have enjoyed this course and learned a lot along the way. When I read the instructions for this weeks blog I could not remember what I rated myself in unit 3 because honestly I feel the same in all categories. Which is not a good thing but then I looked at how I rated myself in our final project to my surprise the numbers did change.
On a scale of 1-10:
Psychologically- In unit 3 I gave myself a 2 and now in the final project I gave myself a 7. Now thinking about it I think that I rated myself so high now is that I do have a more positive outlook and I realized through this course I have so many wonderful things and people in my life. I will continue to try to look at the positive aspect of thing in the future. I have lost a lot of people close to me this year and I started writing letters to the ones I love still in my life because I want them to know how much they mean to me and how I feel about them in case anything happens to them. It hurts my heart that I didn't tell the other people how I felt before the passed away. I'm sure that they knew but some died unexpectedly and I wish I would have told how much I loved having them in my life. This way if something happens to them or myself they will know just how I felt.
Physically- In unit 3 I gave myself a 2 and now in the final project I gave myself a 5. I think the reason I gave myself a better rating than before is because I have been walking my dog everyday and trying to have healthier eating habits. We as a family are eating our meals off smaller plates. I have not lost any weight but I am on the right track.
Spiritually- In unit 3 I gave myself a 2 and now in the final project I gave myself a 5. My children and I have started to go back to church on Sundays and we tell each other what we are thankful for basically because of the time of year which, we always do on Thanksgiving.
So overall I have improved in ways that I did not expect. I will continue to to follow the goals that I set in my final project for myself and family. At least now I have the tools and the know how to move forward in a more positive way.
In moving forward I can say that all aspects of this course have been rewarding. It has been hard at times because it is never easy to see all the flaws we have and how we are doing things that we shouldn't but we can't fix things if we are not aware of them. Because I look at things now in a more positive light this will help others around me because it will improve my interaction with people in a positive manner especially at work.Maybe it will have a chain reaction.
Thank you to all my fellow bloggers and Professor Maule. I wish you all the best!
Hi Marci,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Change doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to form new habits and to really see a difference in health. It definitely sounds like your on the right track! Being more positive and practicing what you belief in are huge steps in becoming whole. I wish you the best of luck with all your goals!!
Wow Marci,
ReplyDeleteI’d say that you have gained much and I think your family well be better for this. You even talked about portion distortion, my pet project, see my prezi and you’ll understand my point on this. Maybe unknowingly but by switching to smaller plates your tricking your mind in a good way and you well be better for this in the long run. You eat less but feel that you have eaten more so your mind and body are satisfied.
Continue with moving forward and letting the past go. I think you are doing this. Keep taking baby steps until you can take giant steps, at least now you don’t have to ask mother may I. Just focus on what you want for yourself and your family and I think you will have the permission and will power to accomplish much. Best of luck and I hope you and yours have wonderful upcoming holidays.

Hello Marci,
ReplyDeleteNothing good in life comes without hardwork, dedication, and perseverance but as long as you are willing and able to make the necessary adjustments you will definitely reap its rewards. Obstacles will arise at times, but just look at them as stepping stones in getting where you needed to be. It was truly a pleasure in sharing the same class with you. May you be bless from this moment on.
