Impact On General Wellness

Measuring meditation time 30 minutes daily, we focused on tracking the processes of mindfulness meditation practice. We identified the three effectiveness keys to reach the goal of this personal improvement mindfulness meditation. The tracking methods were: the days of meditation weekly, the amount of meditation time-30 minutes per day. For the quality of meditation time, we also focused on the amount of effectiveness time while practicing meditation without sleeping. Daily monitoring the processes of interest were recorded and analyzed by the Excel program. The PDSA concept was applied to improving and adjusting the personal improvement strategy plan for the goal attainment. The PDSA cycles were as follows:

This week, I decided to reflect solely on the reading entitled “Announcing the Mental Health Engagement Network (MHEN) Lawson, TELUS Health and Canada Health Infoway launch the Mental Health Engagement Network initiative to measure effectiveness of new technology in ongoing health management.” This is because mental health is something that is near and dear to my heart. Over my lifetime, I have seen a three people very close to me struggle with mental illness, which has not only been difficult on them, but also on myself. When reading about the use of cell phones to help improve mental health and wellness, I found it to be a fantastic idea as patient’s are able to track their daily progress, issues, and are in relatively constant contact with

Wellness is about you. It is about learning to love your whole self. It is about assuming charge of your life, living in process, and channeling life energy. It is about choices. It is about the one way to wellness - your way. Wellness is a priority in my life. In my opinion as a nation we manage our weight incorrectly. One may work out for 7 days then weigh themselves at the end of that week expecting a change. Moreover, one may only manage their weight when getting an annual checkup. One may eat healthy for a couple of weeks then began eating unhealthy all over again. I do believe we are active as nation. Whether we attempt for a week or month, everyone at least tries to be active. According to the Fast food, Fat profits: Obesity in America

It offers more than just a collection of mental exercise games. Medical, social, and dietary tools are also available in a format that’s easy to read – or users can enlist the help of a Siri-like digital assistant to read it for them. The app is available in the iOS app store for $1.99.

Both dependent variables were scored on a scale of 0 to 1, one indicating the presence of a bias. 88 psychology students participated in the study. In each intervention, there were 44 participants. The mindfulness intervention consisted of 34 females and 10 males, with age ranging between 19 and 50 (M= 24.1 SD=7.2). The control intervention consisted of 31 females and 13 males, with age ranging between 19 and 47 (M= 23.5,

It was through this app that I met my current boyfriend, Aries. He tried his best to help me with the anxiety and depression, and just his support and his love did help me cope. Over time, I did notice that I was extremely dependent on him. While I had previously struggled with making decisions, they became too overwhelming for me to handle so he made most of the decisions in the relationship (I could not even decide what to eat at a restaurant). I never wanted to be apart from him and he became the center of my world. I just didn’t realize that it wasn’t a normal

This is to be used as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. In the diagnostic sense, the facial recognition technology will be rolled out to all at risk people living in Birdsville. The app will track the facial and vocal ques the patients give, and immediately report any early indication of depression to an appropriate doctor. The doctor will then be able to make contact with the patient to follow up and formally diagnose the patient. In the therapeutic sense, the patients mood will continue to be tracked alongside ongoing treatment with the doctor to ensure the patient remains safe, continues treatment and to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment being provided.

I understand better about awareness and why it is important to have high level of awareness as well. I think this is a very useful topic as we are living in such a fast paced society and most of the time we are so focused on the task at hand that we ignore our surrounding environment, friends and family. The exercises recommended are also very useful to me and I will try to become more aware of myself as well as my

I would like to change my physical health behavior. Chose that because I’m in sports and I would love to learn more about what it takes to be health and what I can do to become a healthier athlete. Throughout this course I hope to learn more about what it takes to be health. I have many had habits, such as eating unhealthy, not taking care of myself when sick, and not getting enough sleep or too much sleep. I would like to break free of those bad habits and be a happy healthy individual! With experience I’ve been physical for as long as I can remember just have a few flaws that need to be fixed. Tomorrow 1/4/2016 will be when I start and 1/16/2016 will be when I finish and hopefully complete what I’m planning on achieving. I have downloaded

The area of my life that I need to improve and change for a healthier lifestyle is to exercise consistently and make a conscience effort to reduce the stress I experience. Specifically, I chose my personal goal of developing a specific gym workout at the Payne Center on campus at Southern Miss, three times weekly. I chose this area of my life to change because I understand that exercise could help lessen the anxiety that I often experience. The influencing factors of selecting this particular goal include the knowledge of the negative effects of limited exercise, the positive aspects of increased exercise, the stages and processes of change necessary for implementation of my goal. Finally, the understanding how drastically my health will

When comparing and contrasting wellness vs illness vs overall health, they all attribute to each other. We can compare wellness and illness because when we are feeling ill, we don’t feel centered in our normal being. Illnesses such as fevers and the flu makes us feel sluggish and can attribute to our overall emotions throughout the day. We may tend to be more cranky or uptight due to this. Our overall health can attribute to our wellness as well. For example, if a person who is overweight vs a person who is fit, will have different emotions and attitudes towards life. A person who is more fit, may be more energetic, due to their diet and daily activity. Exercise and nutrition have a tremendous effect on our well being. The person who might

In the trailer for unnatural causes, the speaker introduces health by making the statement that, “we carry our history in our bodies.” By this she is talking about factors other than social behavior that influence health. She specifically discusses how an individual’s biological makeup can be a determinate of their future health, however, the environment in which the individual lives in, is a factor that is ignored. Humans are continuously growing, from adolescence to adulthood and so on. However all the time in between growing, contains moments that can influence one’s health and is added or stored into our bodies affecting our overall wellbeing. Examples of health influencing moments include coming into contact with other individuals, or

These apps may also be implemented into conventional manualized treatments and serve as therapists’ extended arm into the daily life of their patient. For example, the eMoods Bipolar Mood Tracker app is programmed to document hours of sleep, anxiety levels, and medication use to generate reports that are sent back to health professionals (Luxton et al.). The information collected is analyzed and used to optimize patients’ positive health outcomes. The convenience of the latest smartphone technology allows patients to enjoy therapy and provide a better experience in bettering their mental health.

The audience for this app is everyone. It is for the person who wants to track that bad habit so that they can kick it quicker, however, it’s not just a habit tracker, it’s a LIFE tracker. This means that it’s also for the individual who maybe wants to track how many times they go to an amusement park, so they can see how many times that year they had a good time. It can also be for the person who wants to keep track of visitation with their children if that so happens to be

This activity had shed light on a lot of both my strengths and weakness’s when it comes to self control. First, I learned the power of simply not having what you are trying to abstain from, readily available. I found that when I did not have sweets in my apartment the thought of consuming sweets was not as prevalent in my mind. Also, knowing that there were not sweets in the kitchen seemed to improve my sleep because I was more tempted to stay asleep than to get up and indulge in a treat. Another thing I learned about myself is how I tend to change things around the problem I am facing instead of directly targeting the problem itself. While conducting
