Upon reviewing how I previously rated myself in Chapter 3 in all areas of my well being, I feel that I am not i the same place as I previously was. I was in better shape back in Unit three than I am at the present.
Physically was at an 8.5. I feel that I dropped to a 7 because I have been eating poorly and not sticking to my low carb lifestyle with my water intake. I have not been taking my vitamin regimen and it really has been taking a toll on me physically and mentally. I was at a 7 in Unit 3 spiritually and mentally. I do not feel that I am up to par in those areas either. Maybe I am a 6 in each. This is so disappointing and I am having trouble getting bck to my straight and narrow. Stress is overcoming my everyday life, so I am trying to be in control without the help of God.
In order to get back on the path to health and wellness, I really need to start being positive and strong again. I must definitely start praying again too. Once I do this, my eating may get back too. I am exercising when I am at work, but without the other two, I get really depressed and start spiraling downward.
I will wake up in the morning hopefully with a new outlook, so I can start over again. I will work on my loving kindnes exercise, this should be what I need to get motivated again.
Yours in health,

Unit 8 Exercise
After reviewing the exercises that have been completed during this course, I feel that the most beneficial exercises are the loving kindness and the visualization techniques. As I completed these practices, these two seemed to be able to be worked into my daily life. I was able to relate thinking about others into learning about these exercises. Thinking about positive situations helped to change my moods for the good. I feel that if I continue to practice, I will do better and they will come more easier and be able to be practiced anywhere, at anytime. You have made me see that these exercise may help me put my stressful life into perspective. Look forward to getting more out of practicing..Practice really does make perfect. Once I get these really down, I can't wait to sratrt workshops and share these sessions with others in order to help them gain peace, love an happiness into their lives.
Yours in health,
Andrea

Unit 7: How to foster health in wellness through meditative practice
Unit 7 Meditative Practice
1) After completing the Asciepus Exercise, I have to say that it has made me so much calmer and aware of what I have to do to become much more healthier. I do know that I want to understand more about myself psychologically. There are so many obstacles in my life that I feel that they are just getting in my way of advancing to a better place in my life where I can find that inner peace. I feel that most of the time I am surrounded bysuch negative people that just want to bring me down. I was hoping that these exercises will help me pull myself out of these situations. I pray that I can find the strength to cope with these people and come out being that strong and optimisti person that i have always been and want to be again. I feel that continuing to practice these exercises will give me a way to achieve the health and wellness that I long for.
2) When understanding what is meant by "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself", I have to say that I totally believe that this is true. Being in the health and wellness field and giving people advise on bettering their nutritional, physical and spiritual aspects has to come from a good role model. So it is clear to me that i have to get myself together and back onto the right track again. I have so much baggage and am finding it so very hard to accomplish these tasks because of all the events that have been going on in my life. These hurdles are still continuing to hamper my achievements and is exhausting my positive energy right from me. I feel that I am running out of steam and cannot provide the experiences and strenths that I need to bewhat I have to be for my clients. I am in the need of someone to get me back. I am working on reading the Bible for the help and guidance I need, but am always finding a way not to get into the Word. This is getting in the way of my goals and for me to help my clients and incur an income. I am so frustrated.
Hopefully I can overcome these hindrances because they are standing in my way of being the "Old Andrea with the new knowledge that I am continuing to build on.
