Personal Statement On Health Improvement Plan

You always here goals about people wanting to lose weight. More often than not people are going to the gym to try and lose weight. There’s also those few people who want to put on weight. I happen to be one of those people. My goal is to gain 10 pounds of muscle by the time I start my next semester which would be August 22nd, putting me at 180lbs. This has been a goal of mine for a while, but I haven’t put it into action until now.

I want to empower my patients to take control over their health; the best way for me to accomplish that is to remain in direct and prolonged contact with the same patients over time as their primary care physician. My own life and my teaching experience equip me with the tools and passion to care for patients over a lifetime through primary care.

I took this opportunity to understand my unhealthy habits and transform my behavior. In my Wellness Recovery Action Plan, the information brought light to the obstacles and how to overcome issues. After filling out the Schedule of Recent Experience (Wieitan et al., 2009) and Tactics for Coping with Stress (Weitian et al., 2009), it was a shock how much I put my body through. A finalized copy of my results can be observed in Appendix A, and the results of the Schedule of Recent Experience (Weitian et al., 2009) can be viewed in Appendix B. In the outcome, I conducted coping mechanisms such as therapy, exercise, and nutrition. Nutrition has been a challenge as a waitress and full-time student. I am always around food at work that led to overeating.

The goal I chose is to live a healthy lifestyle which in terms will add years to my life. In this transformation I chose to eat healthier, exercise, drink plenty water and add supplements to my personal wellness plan. I will devote a significant amount of time to each area of this wellness plan over the next eight weeks get the ultimate results. Below are specific goals and a plan of action that I will be doing over the course of eight weeks in an effort to make these lifestyle changes. I will be reviewing the various area of my health deciding which areas you I would like to make improvements. My present situation is that I have gained a significant amount of weight that has made my life a little uncomfortable. List your present situation and specify your goals (what you want to accomplish) in measurable terms. Keep track of your progress. Review your goals regularly. Get help from others as needed.

To become a healthy person with good self-esteem, when you look in the mirror and see what you want to see. My article is intended for those who really want to improve their physical and mental state, who want to change their lifestyle; for those who have been for years trying to lose weight and also have secondary illnesses to their lifestyle and diet. Anyone who wants to feel different how it feels now; obviously there are always people who oppose to these changes. But I try to use the proper persuasive method for the type of audience anuque prefer the evidence-based

I will always be active and encourage others to take part to improve health care and provide help services to others. I will take part in organizations and plan events that will spread awareness and make people get involved. I will maintain a good social standing and make connections with people along the way. I will be an active member for donations and serve people with the best health care services. After my graduation, once I become a registered pharmacist, I want to get involved in helping patients in a community setting; for example measure blood pressure and advice them on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Along the way, I will also encourage students the importance of participation and leadership roles besides academics.

What if as a society we began to focus more on preventing chronic disease rather than treating them after onset? This is the question that has driven my interest in public health. I began my undergraduate career as a Viticulture and Enology major. I loved the idea of spending my days in a vineyard, nurturing grapes to maturity and then creating a final product that was entirely different from its humble beginning. It wasn’t until I was working in a lab at a winery that I realized winemaking was not for me. Although I loved the science involved, the career did not align with my social and environmental values. I was passionate about health and wellness, so the social issues of making a product that is abused by millions of people worldwide was not something I could live with. I began feverishly researching careers that would align with my interests in science and helping people. There are many ways to help people so I forced myself to think critically about what was important to me and what ways I wanted to make a difference. Deep down, I knew my biggest desire was to help as many people as possible rather than treating individuals on a case-by-case basis. Once I was able to answer that question, It became abundantly apparent that Public Health was the field I needed to pursue. My first true introduction to Public Health came in an Epidemiology class I took my junior year at Portland State University. In taking this class, it became apparent to me that chronic diseases are

When we first began this assignment, I did not think nothing about it. I thought it would be another one of those boring assignments that was just busy work. Take it how you like I enjoyed the papers we did it made me learn new things about my behavior change. My behavior change was to decrease my overall body fat by doing general exercise. Then I dived in deeper and asked what is the best way to lose body fat. There I quickly learned that is not just about exercise it is also as important as dieting. The steps I took to accomplish my behavior change was to stay motivated and not give up. Losing body fat is a physical game just as much as a mental game. There were some days that I did not want to go to the gym because I made excuses like I

Through a lot of conversations and exploration during my first two years of college, I realized that my true passion lies within public health -- in particular, I wished to learn more about disadvantaged groups who succumb to health care issues that other parts of the world do not face. I first explored public health through the courses I took in Shanghai, China. I soon realized the more I explored public health, the hungrier I was to learn more. In addition to changing my major to Anthropology, I conducted public health research investigating trends that focuses on culturally competent medical care for patients with sickle cell disease. Being involved with this research allowed me to learn more about sickle cell disease, develop necessary

As I began to pursue my dream to become a nursing professor, I realized there a was a knowledge deficit; not a total lack of awareness, but definitely an opportunity to grow as a holistic practitioner. I have always been an advocate for my patients, but the concept of wellness in wholeness is very intriguing and an area of growth for me. As a nurse leader, I am learning self-care is essential to caring for others; living a full life can be a challenge. I am learning to take time for myself and to encourage those I have a direct connection with to do the same. When leaders learn they share and teach others the lessons they learned. As an aspiring professor, I feel very fortunate that my nursing school emphasizes holistic care because I

By investing in a Master of Social Work degree, I envision the opportunity to design a wellness program in a healthcare reform market. Researching alternative therapy and its effects on behavioral health outcomes is one focus of my study. In conjunction with my course of study, I intend to acquire the Tobacco Treatment Specialist Certification, Competent Communicator credential from Toastmasters, and American Council on Exercise personal trainer certification within the next year. These additional certifications support my framework for personal wellness which is a leading indicator of my diversified approach to becoming a professional social worker. Health care in America is shifting from treatment to preventative care. Corporations are making

I am interested in any opportunity to shadow a medical practitioner during the summer. My motivation in studying human health has been growing since last year. For my personal project, I made a pop-up book for fourth and fifth graders about circulatory and respiratory system last year. I shadowed a surgeon for a day at Roskilde hospital on January this year. Since my volunteering trip to Kenya about two months ago, I am highly motivated in learning more about human sciences and health.

“The Health Behavior Change for Obesity Management” is an article that provides an overview of advances in behavior change science theories and methods that focus on obesity. The behavioral interventions are effective in promoting weight loss, but weight loss maintenance is a key challenge. In long term weight management, are based on self- determination theory and self-regulation theories. The health behaviors have limitations to capture the complexity of health

At the beginning of every new year, many individuals come up with resolutions that they hope to accomplish by the time the next year rolls around. Often times, the resolutions are geared towards losing weight, or adopting a better diet. Yet, a few short months or even weeks later, those resolutions are already forgotten and thrown out the window. Fortunately, there are strategies that can be carried over across various New Year’s resolutions to ensure the individual’s chances of success. For instance, the health behavior I would like to change, which is one of the most common among those deciding on a New Year’s resolution, would be exercising more. Therefore, I would reference the theory of planned behavior, developing a social support group,

I have always struggled with loving myself, because I am too concerned about seeking love from others. I believe this controversy is created by myself attempting to become suitable for society 's standards. Changing hairstyles, buying expensive clothes and accessories, and keeping up to date with the newest technology is only a few of the many deeds I have performed in order to gain societal adoration. I am constantly going out of my way to ensure that my peers will accept and love me. Therefore, I am often too over-run searching for love rather than simply granting it to myself. I desire to love me for me and not for what I have been attempting to be. I believe that my current actions towards my personal wellness will positively assist in the love and appreciation I need to provide for myself. In addition, I understand that I must stop worshiping the world and its requirements and start focusing more on me. I am someone who has concentrated on searching for the love and acceptance of others, but is realizing that I, too, need to love and accept myself.
