Self-Assessment
The four parts of the mandala indicate the balance that I feel is most important. One of the concepts at work here, however, is the interrelatedness of things. I have physical as being the most important, because in my experience feeling good physically has a lot to do with how you feel mentally. When I am tired, run down, or sick I have a much harder time keeping my spirits up. I am quicker to become upset, so less patient, and ultimately I feel that I am less productive as well. Feeling bad physically can result in sinking into a funk for a while until I feel better. Thus, my physical well-being is substantially tied to my emotional well-being as well. I have emotional as second because I feel that it flows from the physical, though arguably these are two halves of the same equation, and could be given equal weight. I have seen in my duties many patients who are physically unwell but who maintain an excellent mental attitude, and I really admire these people because I am not like that. I actually hope to learn from this people how to feel great mentally and emotionally even when my physical self...
I know from people who work in mental health what it means to be in poor mental health, and I feel that my mental health is strong. I am sharp and able to deal with whatever situations arise, and have full confidence that this is always part of the equation somewhere, just something I have at this point not really had to worry about. The spiritual thing is 5% at best. I am not particularly in touch with my spiritual side, for better or worse it simply doesn't play a role in me being at my best and most balanced. I guess I just need it less.
3. If we think about wellness as being related to a number of different dimensions -- the University of California, Riverside (2016) offers a theory about seven dimensions, then my ideal environment would contribute to wellness on all of these dimensions. Indeed, Adams et al. (1997) found in a study that the different wellness dimensions are interrelated. So I seek environments that contribute to this, and these environments are not necessarily all…
We are more than welcome to assist any client who has trouble understanding anything. However, we do not offer to meet with clients whose first language is not English to decipher communications that they might not understand. Making this effort goes a long way toward promoting client health and well being. We do have bilingual staff but Spanish is the only language besides English that is well-represented. It would be
Self-Care Strategies Self-care is a widely acknowledged aspect of Counseling. Through research, studies and hard-earned self-knowledge, experts have defined personal attributes, strategies such as mentoring, and qualities that can lead to development of the therapeutic self. Due to differing experiences and results, experts may differently name those attributes, strategies and qualities but all are focused on taking care of the self as the counselor takes care of his/her clients and other
Learner-Centered Instruction: Teaching Patients How to Care for Themselves When They Have a Diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure Part I Introduction Teaching patients how to care for themselves when they have a diagnosis of congestive heart failure has been shown to be “effective in improving self?care and reducing readmissions” (Stromberg, 2005). This project will provide a lesson plan that nurses can implement using a learner-centered instruction approach in order to help patients with
Wellness Program at Work Wellness programs at work Healthy workforce is a productive workforce (Bray & Bray, 2009). Healthy employees can give more attention to their job responsibilities, work more dedicatedly, and devote themselves whole heartedly to their organization (Duncan, 2008). On the other hand, unhealthy employees are not able to give their best at the workplace due to the negative impacts on their health caused by their unhealthy living habits and
Fifth, the person admits his or her faults to the higher power and to others, usually through the group meetings of the twelve-step program. The sixth step simply asks the person to "become ready" to release the "defects of character" discovered through Step Four, while the seventh step entails humbly petitioning the higher power to remove the defects of character. Step Eight is similar to Step Four: the person makes
According to Zoller, scholars and/or practitioners proponents of workplace health promotion (WHP) generally assume that employees universally welcome the programs. Perhaps, the primary delimitation that could be contributed to health and wellness programs would be that one of the other would not be wanted by employees. Consequently, health promotion literature that deems the programs to be "pro-social" endeavors designed in employees' best interests frequently fail to engage employees' participation. Additional delimitations
