Unit 10 Final Blog Nyanna Threadgill

Your final blog entry is to summarize your experiences in this course and discuss how it has assisted your well-being and your ability to assist others.
Complete the following and post in your blog:

1. Review your unit 3 personal assessment of your psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. Reflect on these areas . How did you score yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 in unit 3? How do you score yourself now?

Has the score changed? Why or why not?


On my Unit 3 BLOG dated March 21, 2011 personal assessment of my psychological well-being I scored a 10, physical well-being 8, and spiritual well-being 10.

I know rate my personal assessment of my psychological well-being score as 8 , physical well-being 4, and spiritual well-being 10.

Has the scores changed? Why or why not?


First to my psychological well-being my score has changed because of family issues and death in the family I had to endure this term and this past year that has put a toll on me.

Next, to my physical well-being my score has changed because I didn’t feel I had accomplished the goals that I wanted to do. My plan was to get out and exercise do low cardio, walk. I understand I am unable to do this at this present time. But I get some medical issues cleared I will be ready to go.

In addition, to my spiritual well-being my score has never changed. Because my relationship with my creator is always at a higher level.


2. Review the goals and activities you set for yourself in each area. Have you made progress toward the goals? Explain.


In reference to the physical goal of me going to start jogging . I haven’t started that goal yet. I have some medical clearance I need to get from my doctor’s first. And once I get the go ahead. I will be starting on a slow paste.

Next, to the Spiritual goal of me starting yoga. I haven’t started that goal yet as well. My mom got a yoga tape to relax. So the time that I have off from break I am going to look at the tape and see what I can do.

Then to the Psychologically the goal of me to start journaling. I am trying to find me another journal book to buy.



3. Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.

Next, to the Spiritual goal of me starting yoga. During the break I will look over a yoga video carefully first and choose which exercises I can do. One of my doctors recommended yoga.


In reference to the physical goal of me going to start jogging . I haven’t started that goal yet. I have some medical clearance I need to get from my doctor’s first. And once I get the go ahead. I will be starting on a slow paste.

Then to the Psychologically the goal of me to start journaling. I have started that again. It has been very helpful. 



4. Summarize your personal experience throughout this course. Have you developed improved well-being? What has been rewarding? What has been difficult? How will this experience improve your ability to assist others?


This course has helped me with my ability to re-train myself with visualization, meditation, and journaling.

What has been rewarding for me was the teaching of this course from Professor Dorette and some of the skills that I have learned were how to become more patient, and reduced some of my stress. I also would like to say that reading my classmates blogs each week, getting there feedback, attending seminar and getting my classmates feedback there as well has been rewarding as well.

Was has been difficult for me was learning how to deal with different personal issues and having to deal with family members death and the greiving process while I was in school trying to do work. and still grieve. And I am still grieving.

This experience will give me the strength to be patient, courageous, and brave. I am working in the field of Advocacy for person's with Disabilities. I will have to be a voice for people who dont have a voice.

  1. Nyanna,

    Once again dear, I offer you my condolences on your loss. I think you have been very strong, carrying through on your homework while struggling to deal with your grief and your family's grief.

    Your goal strategies sound very doable and reasonable to me. Especially the yoga and the journaling (I am a big believer in journaling). You can learn alot about yourself using such contemplative practices. Good luck and be well!
