Health And wellness teachers should be able to practice what they preach. We must be able to teach people how to look into their minds and clear out the bad or rambling thoughts in order to make room for the inner peace that they seek. If you are psychologically unsound people will be leery about following your direction, because having a balanced system means being free from your own mind of mental disturbances.

            Spiritually you have to know what you believe. There are many different gods people can chose from to worship and it's up to us to chose what wisely fits us. Many religions offer a meditative pray that can help many people. Physically we must take care of ourselves in order to get a full balance of health and wellness, in many cases you can't have one without the other. Honestly I need to work on all 3 sections of mine. I feel I have no balance, I can't shut off the negative thoughts that cross my brain, I have no true spirituality and physical I am out of shape and sick.

            In my physical health I would like to be more active. I feel right now I have so much going on I can hardly find time for this. I'm not talking about going to the gym and working out four house a day, but just getting outside running around with the kids, working in the yard. Psychologically I have to clear my mind of the negativity that is there. This can be ridding myself and life of the things that cause this. I can only grow psychological if I don't have things pulling me an my thoughts back. Spiritually I need to find something to believe in. There's really nothing more than that. Religion can be an uncomfortable area for any people and in my case, being burned by so many so called Christians have ruined religion for me.

            Practice, practice, practice! Study, study, study! Research is important in to finding ways to grow each domain of health. Mediation and prayer can help grow psychologically and spiritually. These will open my mind to great mental health, clearing out the clutters of my mind making room for the positive energy needed. Physically, getting up and moving around, eating healthier are two main important parts of the health in general. How you treat your body is important to open up the rest of the healing path.

            My problem is sticking with something once I start it. If I can manage to stay with a program that I start the better I will be in six months. Building a program from the ground up, making sure I stick to a routine will help me monitor how all three areas of my health are when I start at different stage of my training and practice. During the course if this class I have become found of meditation. I had done it before but sporadically. Since I had to do it on a regular bases it has help. With everything going on in my life meditation has been the my sanity. I have put apps on my phone that gives me instructional meditation sessions.
