SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

Week one on the journey to "Matters of the heart-The secrets to emotional health, healing, vitality and well being." http://www.secretstoemotionalhealth.com/. I found this site very user friendly and enrolling was easy. I will probably find it much more difficult to stay focused on emotional health and healing as a means of achieving overall health, vitality and well-being, which is what this course is about.


The first lesson was about balance and understanding the importance of energy and goal setting to achieve the desired outcomes from the course.

People are seen as consisting of a five-part system: Emotional, Mental, Physical, Spiritual and Social. We can change any part of this system in a positive way, resulting in positively affecting the entire system. The importance of energy and balance are discussed. There are two activities in lesson one. They are based on a diagram of the five-part system. The first is an exercise to determine your balance and identify areas of your life that need improvement. The second activity centres on goal setting in each of the five parts of the system. I particularly liked the acronym SMART for goal setting:

S-pecific.M- easurable, A-ttainable, R-ealistic, T- imely. Now, you can be "SMART" in goal setting because you read my blog.

Join me again next week on the journey. If you would like to comment or offer feedback please do so.
