The purpose of this Personal Quality Project was to have “Personal Empowerment”. I was given the authority to set standards for myself which were both academic and personal. For ten weeks and in my case nine weeks (since I missed Week 1) I had the authority to follow my set standards. Following the set standards was necessary to help me with my personal growth and so that I can believe in myself as well as motivate me to follow my set standards.…

Wellness includes five main categories, which are physical, social, mental, emotional and spiritual development. To maintain satisfactory health, it is essential that we go to great lengths to maintain wealthy conditions in all of those areas. I am evaluating my performances in every single part, and it came to my realisation while my spiritual health is the strongest, my physical health is the weakest, which is actually one score apart from my social health.…

People do not always have control over what happens in their lives, but that does not mean they have to react to difficult, challenging situations by being frazzled or feeling overwhelmed. Developing stress management techniques, like aromatherapy, muscle relaxation, and a healthy lifestyle can prolong people’s lives. Aromatherapy balances and harmonizes one’s mind and body. It can give pain relief, mood enhancement, and increased cognitive function. In addition, relaxation relieves stress and boosts one’s mood. It is a variety of breathing and meditative techniques that help release tension throughout the body. Also, having a healthy lifestyle includes drinking plenty of water and eating nutritiously. Regular exercise is also necessary. Barbara, Donna, and Tonya are now better informed about how to deal with their stress. Not only does a regular stress management practice stave off the negative effects of tension, it can also bring positive…
“Wellness is proactive rather than reactive, and inclusive and accessible to laypersons rather than the exclusive. “It involves a philosophy of self-respect and self-care that can be accessed by different persons in different ways, then nurtured and extended in other areas of their lives” (Hatfield, 1992). In order for us to become a person who is well, we need to be proactive and work on the areas of physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and social wellness. Wellness is an ongoing process to where your empowering yourself to live a full and healthy life.…

After taking the Living to 100 Assessment I discovered that my biggest wellness strength is that I eat healthy at home. My mom makes sure that we are never without proper nutrition and I believe that has played a big role, as well as my goal to maintain a healthy body weight. We have plenty of fruits and vegetables at home and if I don't get any at school, I make sure to eat some after school. My most worrisome wellness weakness is that I don't exercise enough. I like to read so I spend a lot of time in my room or just generally lounging around. When I do exercise, I tend to push myself too far and end up pulling something. I will use a punching bag when I am angry or just feel like I need to exercise, but I find myself lapsing in that sometimes.…
The Real- World Wellness ( Behavioral Strategies for Reshaping Your Eating Habits) was very interesting ! It was basically some tips on how to change your old eating habits to better habits to control your over eating. Some of the tips I actually already do for example eating slow, I can't eat fast , I have tried to but if so its makes me feel overly stuffed. Another tip would be preparing only enough food for one meal, it does work because you don't have to worry about left over or going for seconds.…
No one can live without experiencing some extent of stress all the time. Regardless of whom you are, where you live or what you are doing, you’ll go through stress – that is just a fact of life. It isn't going away. We need to learn to live with it - and get the upper hand. Or it will take its toll on our health. We all distinguish things in a different way; some people are more pessimistic while others see the positive light to things. Why do some of us flourish on stress and some of us collapse? It's in our perspective about stress. Instead of fearing or fighting problems, we do better when we choose to rise to the challenges. Being an optimist helps you function at your highest point as it compromises your 'fight or flight response' and gives you additional physical and emotional resources when you or someone you care about is in trouble. Although this varies from person to person, negative stress is simply stress that we recognize as 'bad'. When it begins to affect our health and mental outlook, stress becomes bad and over time it leads to strokes, fatigue, hair loss, immune disorders, heart problems, and more. Today, in our frantic society, negative stress is epidemic. “I remember the months after I finished university and started a new job in a fast food restaurant.” says Melissa Lee, a recent graduate. “It was not the job I wanted to begin with but had applied to the areas I did want and not succeeded in getting a job. The pressure of no money got the better of me. But once I started the job, I was in dire need of stress relief!” she asserts. “Before entering the building each day I had to boost myself up. My job was to scrub the dirty toilet floors and assist at the tills now and then. My boss wasn’t the kindest man in the world so I had a lot of tension on my shoulders.” Studies shown that stress resilience is a life skill we can learn over time, not one we know at birth. Certain individuals have many…
