I am still rating myself about the same as before, Spiritual a 7 there is always room to grow, psychological around a 6 and physical 6. I am aware of some of the things I would like to work on, it is difficult though to get everything done in a day as being a full time case manager, mom, wife, and student. I have the ideas of how I would like to start exercising more. In fact, I have contacted a friend of mine to see if she would not mind budding up to walk early in the mornings. So though it does not look like I have changed much, mentally I am working on it. That has to be one of the first places to start because if the desire is not there than nothing else will follow.
Spiritually, I have daily devotionals that are e-mailed to me so I read them before I log into class or other things on my computer which has helped. I am also taking the time to meditate on Gods word a bit longer than I did before.
I am more aware of my thoughts and I can let some of them go but others I believe have more meaning and I am getting good at having a dialogue with myself :). I am able to not respond as fast and if I did say something the wrong way, I notice it quickly and am able to retract that statement. I enjoy giving to others but I have to be able to give to myself first and that is for me much harder to do.
Thank you all for being such a great class!!

Unit 8 Blog
I just have to say that it seems like the weeks are in slow motion while they just fly by at the same time. I hope that makes since to you, if not sorry it does to me :)
The two practice sessions I like the most would be the 1) loving kindness and 2) forgiveness. First of all I would like to say that Love is the most important of all of these. We were loved by God who sent his Son here for us. He ask us to love others as we love ourselves and to be kind to one another. However, it is just as important that we forgive too. God forgives us all of the time. To me theses two principles go hand in hand. I do believe in you get what you sew, meaning if you are hateful towards someone then that will in turn happen to you. Often times we are so quick to point the finger at someone else when all along we should be looking at ourselves in the mirror and pointing the finger at me. I am sure you have heard this but as a child I remember learning if I point one finger at you, then I have 3 pointing back at me. This can be very difficult in certain situations. It is important to remember that just because you went through a tragic experience and you have forgiven them does not mean you need to be that persons best friend all over again. It just means that your life will be lived to the fullest without having the disease of anger and hatred built up.

Unit 7 blog,
The track # 4 was nice. We have had a lot of information of how we can incorporate integral health into our lives. I just feel that one step at a time is good enough for me. I feel that I am still way back from the beginning of the class with recognizing my thoughts and why I am thinking the way I do. I know professor is always saying progress and not perfection so that is where I am at. I feel that if you ask to much at one time, they can get overwhelmed and quit all together. I understand for this class, we have to be introduced to each concept but once done, I will continue to grow. I am sure it is a slow process but plan to continue to work towards it.
I agree with the statement, "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” (P.477). I believe that is why we have such diversity. Not everyone can experience the same thing every day. I believe that the world we be a very dull place to live. I feel that God has put us here for each other. What I have experienced in my life may help a married couple in crisis but could mean nothing to a couple who is not going through any trouble.
I have been in the nursing field for 16 years now, yes that is a while and no I am not old :), but one of the things I have always wanted my patients to feel from me is peace and comfort. I believe a gentle smile is very important. I feel that is a piece of nursing that has been forgotten about or maybe overlooked. In return, when I have been in the hospital having my children, I had a few nurses who were able to do the same for me. As I continue to grow spiritually and psychologically, I will be able to have more of an impact on the care provided to patients and to staff.
