Pursuing Wellness

What does treating the body, mind, and soul mean to you? And why is it important?

In recent discussions of movie trailers, a controversial issue has been whether trailers present a clear theme. On the one hand, some argue that Annabelle 2 is about a child that becomes possessed and A Cure for Wellness is about a hospital that cures the ill. From this perspective, viewers only pay attention to the surface of the trailers. On the other hand, however, others argue that Annabelle 2 is about believing in Christ, and if you believe and put it in his hands, then everything will work itself out. Some also believe that A Cure for Wellness is about a hospital that experiments on the living to find a cure for the small sicknesses. In sum, then, the issue is whether, Annabelle 2 poses demon possession, or defending your faith. The issue presented with A Cure for Wellness is whether the medical facility cures the ill or experiments on people for greater purposes. Movie trailers present clear and hidden themes by the use of rhetorical devices through camera angles and soundtracks.

A notable gap in the knowledge base of wellness is seen in the dearth of studies with clinical populations. The philosophy of wellness

1. What wellness indicators do you balance very well? Why do you balance these areas of your life well.

This semester I enrolled in a Wellness Theory class which focused on topics that help a person improve their overall wellness and physical health. While taking this course I started to take this change my behaviors to create a healthier lifestyle for myself because during this course the unhealthy habits that people have and it shined a light on the unhealthy habits that I also have. Once I started to become more aware of my habits and I changed my behaviors I realized an attitude shift. Prior to taking this class overall, I thought my habits were not terrible but I also knew that they were not the best and could use improvement. But after taking this class I know that my habits need improvement and how to work on improving my overall wellbeing and health. My attitudes about health and overall wellness were that it was too complicated and that no one truly knows what are the healthiest choices to make prior.

Being in the healthcare profession - you know that new wellness strategies are being developed on what seems to be a daily basis. Being proactive is key when it comes to preventing serious diseases, spreading communicable illnesses as well as keeping chronic illnesses under control. The thing is, most of these new ideas aren't new. Though many of these strategies are old-school, and would sound familiar to our grandparents and great grandparents, the pendulum is definitely swinging backwards when it comes to disease prevention. There is a reason why we refer to them as The Greatest Generation!

Wellness to me isn't just physical. It means being well in your mind, your body, and your soul. To start you have to look at your life and figure out what isn't working for you, and improve upon those things. Once you have figured those things out figure out how to make your life better. You can't have wellness until you have all three in an order that works for you. This doesn't mean being a size 6 as long as you're living life in a healthy way. Just because something works for some people doesn't mean it will work well for you. This has to be individualized for each person and/or

The two wellness techniques that have "stuck" with me the most are the ones about sleep and exercise. I enjoyed the sleep articles discussed so much that I attached it to my desktop so I could read it again and again when my sleep schedule begins to become awry. It was from that discussion that I developed my sleeping schedule that I follow now. Every night, I aim to fall asleep by 11:00 to 11:30 AM and wake up every morning from 6:00 to 6:30 AM, even on the weekends. This has helped me so much because it has taught me a considerable amount of self-control and has increased my retention in my morning classes. Additionally, I try my best to workout at least 3 times a week. Not only has this boosted my self-esteem, it has benefited my learning. All of the points that were considered in the Student Success module were very beneficial in refining me as a student.

My definition of aging, disability, and chronic illness has defiantly changed since taking this course. The definition of aging includes many physical and psychological changes that I have forgotten since obtaining my nursing degree. Furthermore, although these changes are a decline in status, I have realized that one can still maintain optimal wellness. Additionally, these definitions of aging, disability, and chronic illness have elaborated to include the many theories of aging and the seven dimensions of wellness. Also, disability is much more involved than the physical impairment, it involves caring for the disabled using guidelines and BSN Core Competencies.

My proposed topic of holistic wellness was not specifically addressed through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) website. As a result, I decided to focus on anxiety. One definition of anxiety is a constant feeling of worry, nervousness, or uneasiness that lasts at least 6 months, which may hinder an individual’s completion of daily activities/functions (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). To assist in the research process, NIMH provides a generous selection of research trials, resources, and information.

Mr. Steinhoff was alert and engaged in the discussion today, made appropriate eye contact and was able to sit for a short period during the interview; typically, he stands for the entire appointment as he finds this position the least uncomfortable. Since his last appointment, he reports that he has made some healthy lifestyle changes. He is eating one substantial meal per day and frequently has fruit for snacks; previously he would go days without eating. For physical activity, he walks 60 minutes daily, joins his friends hunting several times per week and drives to his cousin’s farm to spend time outdoors when he can. He finds interacting with others to be a positive distraction from his pain and mood issues. He mentioned today that he recently saw his children and the visitation went
