Unit 7
Describe the saying: "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself: (P.477). How does this apply to the health and wellness professional?
What I think this means, is what I have been saying from the beginning in this class. If you do not practice what you preach then you cannot be of benefit to your clients. I do not think you will be able to answer questions as honest as you should be able to if you are practicing what you are telling them they need to do. By experiencing what you are teaching your clients, you have a better understanding of what you want them to do. You can answer their questions and give them other alternatives to better themselves.Anyone can be book smart, it takes someone with passion to really experience what the books are saying.
Do you have an obligation to your clients to be developing your heath psychologically, physically, and spiritually? Why or why not? How can you implement psychological and spiritual growth in your personal life?
I do think we have an obligation to our clients to be developing our own health psychologically, physically, and spiritually. It goes back to practicing what we preach to a degree. If we are not happy with ourselves and comfortable within ourselves then it is hard to convince our clients that human flourishing really does exist. We have to do what is best for us as far implementing psychological and spiritual growth. I pray every chance I get, I send letters and boxes to my husband, read, enjoy time with my children, and spend time with great friends and family. I love to spend time with my husband when he's home. Those are somet hings that I do to keep me psychologically and spiritually focused.

Unit 6
Hello everyone,
Hope this finds you well. I'm doing okay. Just a little stressed and feel like I am constantly going. I feel like I have had no "me" time since my husband left a month ago. I have thought about quitting school and focusing on those things around me at the moment, but I only have 4 more classes after this term. I have so much to think about and not enough time in the day it feels like.
The exercise that I did was the integral assessment in Chapter 11 of Dacher's book. I would have to say that the source of difficulty for me is my psychospiritual. I am having a hard time since my husband left. This is his 3rd tour and I seem to be struggling more this time then I did the first couple of time he left. My emotions are all a mess, I feel like I have so much to do and not enough time to do it, and I feel like I am not doing what I need to do in order to keep things going smoothly. My fuse is shorter and I am more on edge these days. I have had to stop going to church on Wednesdays because I have class. My whole world seems to be turned upside down these days. Sometimes I feel like I should just turn the world off and be by myself for a while.
The most essential thing for me right now is to get back to "me." I need to find myself again and find out what makes me tick again but I am having a hard time with that. I'm not sure what I can do to get back to my authentic self. Some days I feel like I got it and other days I feel lost as a goose. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Hope everyone has a great day.
