Personal Wellness Report

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

Based on the Clifton Strengths Assessment my top five strengths are strategic, deliberative, learner, maximize and individualization. As an individual, I rarely look into my weakness. I believe that when your too focused on your weakness, you forget about your strengths. Everything the book said is true, and we need to take the time to look at our strengths and make it perfect. It is true that in this world or the school system, we are taught to look at our weakness and correct it so that we can become stronger in our life. This book brings out the truth that I longed to hear for a long time. Invariably, I hear my professor tell their students that for them success in life, they must practice and look at our weakness. This book proves it wrong because for us to become successful, we must stay to our strengths’ path.

Tom Rath’s “Strengths Finder 2.0” on-line assessment identified that my top five strengths are: Strategic, Focus, Futuristic, Significance, and Learner. I see the Strength Finder Assessment as a great opportunity to get to know my personal strengths and it motivates me to work and practice my talents rather than trying to fix my weaknesses. Looking only at my strengths is a new type of skills-building which allows me to stay focus on my talents.

Strength’s Finder 2.0: I learned a lot from taking this assessment. My top 5 themes are as followed; Harmony, Consistency, Analytical, Adaptability, Intellection. Although I was unaware that I held these strengths, I am now confident in saying that I indeed excel in these areas. As far as Harmony goes, it is true that I do not like to spend all my time in one area. I also do not like to take sides in conflicts and would rather stay out of it. I am not good with confrontation, unless I have to be. Consistency is also something that

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.

Healthy People 2000, Healthy People 2010, and Healthy People 2020 are three reports in the late 1900s to early 2000s that has been established to help people establish health care services.

Having a wellness plan in University of the Incarnate Word is very important because it helps promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle. This paper is going to provide evidence on the importance of a Wellness plan. It will improve the overall success of the university and provide better awareness to its employees and students. Nothing advantageous was ever made by winging it, so for that reason planning is a fundamental step in creating a Wellness Plan.

I took a health assessment test off of a website called, testwell.org. This test asked questions about physical, health, self-care, safety, environment, sexuality, emotional, intellectual, occupational, and spirituality. They grade the test on a 100point scale. 80-100 is excellent, 60-79 is good and anything below a 60 has room for improvement and could be improved in your life. They also add up all the points you got for an overall score. For all of the subjects and also the overall score, I did not do as well as I thought I would do. My overall score was a 680, which barely passes over the “good” score.

As an aspiring doctor, the concept of “wellness” holds high regard in my consciousness in future attempts to heal and guide members of society to an overall healthier well being.

To evaluate oneself, to truly invest the time and the effort into digging into the deepest recesses of one’s mind is not a quest that is as clear cut as it may seem to be. Evaluating oneself would seem to be the simplest task, to think to oneself, “Who am I? What things are important to me?” You could start with the easy ones. Family, friends, love, happiness. But what about topics outside of that? What world do I really want to live in? What kind of issues are at the forefront of my mind, the kind of things I want to resolve to be able to truly enjoy my friends, family, love, and happiness? What kind of things do I want to spend my time thinking about and forming opinions on? If I were to ask myself these questions, I would need to take

Constantly striving to maintain optimal health is the key to prolonging ones wholesome lifestyle. Although the multi-dimensions of health seem fairly general, they are must be observed in great detail to truly rationalize whether one are at their highest level of wellness. In my initial review of my own wellness, I could easily establish that my psychological health was in the most need of beneficial changes, while other concepts like physical and occupational health seemed to be in better standings. Little did I know, that while I was consciously working on my weakest points of health, I was overlooking many paramount details associated with the aspects on my health I believed to be my strongest. It was brought to light through the Dr. Oz Real Age Test that my constant forgetfulness of what some consider the most important meal of the day, breakfast, could cause me to age prematurely. After researching the benefits of not skipping this morning meal, I knew I had to alter this horrible habit.

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (Who.int, 2015). Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over and to improve their health… Health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy lifestyles (Walsh, 2006). In this report the health promotions of binge drinking will be explored by me and my team. There are numerous agencies who are involved in health promotion. Some of these agencies are government departments such as Department of Health (NHS). Department of health is also known as the NHS is a government department that provides information on health promotions and treatment for the disease.

While wellness is very personal its principles can be shared within groups or communities as well. Overall, when we look at our country it is not in a state of wellness which means that Americans are not living the healthiest lives that they could. “Chronic diseases (also referred to as “lifestyle diseases”), such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes, are the leading causes of death today. It is estimated that about 80% of older American adults have at least one chronic condition, 50% have at least two, and approximately 95% of older adults’ healthcare expenditures are used to treat chronic diseases.” (Question 1) Our country is literally dying from not taking care of

The question “who am I”? Can have a lot of individuals thinking about themselves, including myself because one might not know where to start. It is a very broad question, but having done the Strengths Finder 2.0 assessment, I realized more in depth what kind of person I really am based on my top 5 strengths. Who I am as a learner, who I am in my career and who I am as a person of faith lead me to answering the question above and understanding more of myself within.
