Personal Wellness Plan

I'm going to try a weekly planner for writing down what is due and when then checking off the completed assignments.

During the Personal Wellness Assignment, various factors influenced my fitness, nutrition, energy, and sleep numbers. I noticed that my nutrition, energy, and sleep scores were higher on Saturdays and Sundays because I didn’t have school on those days so I had more time to eat and sleep. My energy scores were high on those days because I was happy that I didn’t have school. I also notice that my fitness scores are low most of the time, except on Tuesday. This is because I have an extracurricular activity only on Tuesday. My graph shows that when my sleep scores are high, so are my energy scores. This indicates that I have more energy when I sleep for a longer time. My graph also shows that the nutrition and energy scores are exactly the same.

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.

Additionally, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) ensures that behavioral healthcare services will extend coverage to portions never experienced before (Beronio Glied, & Frank, 2014). Expansion of not only the amount of individuals covered by appropriate medical insurance, but also expansion of covered behavioral health services will almost undoubtedly create a multitude of new opportunities in the behavioral healthcare field as well as a demand a greater need for a highly skilled work force. In today’s age more than ever, education and innovation are at a premium. Personally projecting at least another thirty years of service in the behavioral healthcare field mandates that I strive for

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.

Xxx utilized wellness programs to promote healthy behaviors (McCarthy & Klein, 2010, p. 3). These wellness programs reduced the need for expensive acute and specialty care.

Look back on your goals from the beginning of the semester. Were you able to meet those goals? If not, what can you do to meet them in the future?

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 more, 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 to 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 lifestyle changes. I will be reviewing the various area of my health deciding which areas 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. I started by making a chart to track my plan of action in each area that I will be working on.

Leading a nutritious and healthy lifestyle with the incorporation of exercise is the path I am currently walking on and will continue to follow in my later years. Following the healthy eating plan I currently put myself on is a step in the right direction and the many steps that will follow will be the guide to a continuous nutritional lifestyle.

When considering a self-care, plan regarding, biological needs, I think of the things I do that keep me healthy and keep me feeling good physically. I try hard to take good care of myself, by eating right and staying active. Continuing these habits is crucial to keeping me healthy. I try to keep myself in good health and avoid getting sick. The more I speak with other social work students and instructors; they recommend yoga and meditation. An exercise is a great tool to use when relaxing; a student doing practicum and they can use the meditation for de-stressing themselves after a day at the office.

People often get caught up in everyday life, not taking time to discover who they really are or if the customary routine they have are causing them to be off balance. Life demands such as caring for a family, building a career, paying bills and attending school can leave most people in a quandary of stress, frustration and exhaustion. Taking time for self assessment is needed throughout life as it is constantly changing.

What do the results tell you about your personal wellness? (Consider how each of the elements interact in your overall well-being.)

My project for changing a personal health behavior is beginning an exercise plan. What I want to do is lose 10 pounds, but I have a short-term goal to lose 5 pounds in three weeks. The reasons for this choice is because I want to be at a healthy weight and to prevent heart disease. What I hope to learn is how to manage my weight and keep it off and achieve my short-term goal in losing 5 pounds in three week and eventually, reaching my ideal weight of 135 pounds by determination and hard work and able to maintain the weight

Developing a self-care plan is an essential tool within the health care profession. Not only does a plan help create balance in one 's life, but it also assists in maintaining professional standards as a service provider. In this type of work can be taxing on an individual 's mental, physical and spiritual mentality, as such, can affect the mannerism in which a professional engages with their clientele.
