In unit 3 we were asked to assess our physical, spiritual and psychological development. This final unit asks us to reflect on those numbers (score 1-10 with 10 being the goal) and to assess where we feel we are now.
Physical- In unit 3 I gave myself a 5. I am gonna stick with a 5 as my assessed number. Now wait, I know you probably think I have had no progress or growth. Not true. My progress has been homeopathic. I have started seeing an ENT to help me treat a health issue I have been struggling with for over a year. She diagnosed me with BBPV or positional vertigo. Anyway, my vertigo has kept me out of the gym. However the treatment is working! I have also, without really trying, started eating a vegetarian diet. I have been listening to my body and well my body doesn't really need meat. So that said- still a work in progress and evolving everyday.
Spiritual- In unit 3 I gave myself a 4. I give myself a 5 now but I still am not outside as much as I want to be.
Psychological- I gave myself a 6 in unit 3. Currently, I think I am a 6.5 or maybe a 7. My mood is lifted and I feel like I am in a better place.
I am going to spend the next 10 days focusing on getting my schedule in place, making sure I have the resources I need, and the support system in place to help me flourish! This will not be my last blog post. I will continue this blog. My family is about a year from transitioning from the Army. I know I am going to have new stresses. I want to chronicle my journey. I head out wiser and with more peace than I have felt in a long while. I know I do not travel alone in this journey. I am grateful for the guidance given.
Hi Kim! Congratulations on getting help with your vertigo. Sometimes the hardest part is taking that first step to trying to figure out what is wrong. I am so glad you are going to continue with your blog. I find your posts both uplifting and interesting. I feel like I have learned many activities that will help me focus and keep calm in my life. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAsking for help can be so difficult and I am proud of you for doing so because it sounds like you have found a method of treatment that is working for you. That is amazing news! Settling into a schedule is such an important thing for most of us because it allows us to know what to expect, plan and integrate everything we need to accomplish. I can see you are pushing for growth and encourage you to keep motivated. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success this far! I am sure you will continue to reach your goals. I can relate to your life. I am a Navy wife, with an 8 month old, a teenager, and two in elementary school. We have a lot on our plate but we can do this! Good luck with your future classes!
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your improvement. Its great that you learned how to listen to your body and realized some things that can make you feel better and healthier. Vertigo sounds like it can be very annoying. When did you realize you had it?
