It is important for health and wellness professionals to develop psychologically,
spiritually and physically because the professionals must know and practice the mind,
body and spirit principles and attributes to be the living example for their clients
that the integral health does work. So, the professionals can treat, heal, know and
understand their clients’ problems with this knowledge they can bring wholeness
and wellness to their clients because they have been there before. In other words, the
professionals must practice what they teach and believe in their work to heal their
clients.
The areas that I need to work on are nutrition and exercise because sometimes I
crave for sweets like chocolate, candies, and ice cream. I must control my cravings
to be a living example of integral health. Also, I must do exercise almost every day to
be fit and health for my clients and myself to show them that integral health does
work.
My score for wellness in mind, body, and spirit that are between 1-10; like 10
means excellent, 5 means ok, 1 means poor. I give me a score of 7 in my overall
wellness. I believe and sometimes practice the principles of mind, body and spirit
but my problems are nutrition and exercise. I will try harder to control my bad
habits by eating more healthy foods and exercise more on a daily basis besides just
three times a day.
My goal in the physical is to lose 20 pounds in 3 months by exercising every day
and eat healthier foods. My goal in psychological is to continue reading, writing and

saying positive affirmations daily, my goal in spiritual is to continue to read
spiritual books and meditate every day.
In the physical, I can wake up early in the morning to go to the gym; to walk on
the treadmill and lift weights for 1 hour. Then I will go Whole Foods store to buy fresh,
healthy organic foods for my diet and family. I will try to eat mostly vegetables, fruits,
whole grains, almond milk and less dairy and red meat.
In the psychological, I will continue to listen, reading, writing and saying positive
affirmation throughout the day. Next, I will continue to practice meditation in the early
morning before exercising, and I will continue to practice meditation in the evening
time before bed.
In the spiritual, I will continue to read and study spiritual books in the
morning and evening. Next, I will continue to go to church on Sunday to inspire me
throughout the week.
I will use a journal to write all my progress and track my records on the mind,
body, and spirit in the own total wellness progress. Also, I will write down my
praise, goals, blessings and gratitude. Plus, I will write down my struggles and
challenges to figure out the ways, I can improve myself during the six months of
transforming my life to total health, wellness, and wholeness. Plus, I can use my
family, friends, and life or fitness coaches to encourage me to accomplish my goals
in life.
In conclusion, it is important for health and wellness professionals to develop
psychologically, spiritually and physically because the professionals must know and
practice the mind, body and spirit principles and attributes to be the living example for

their clients that the integral health does work. So, the professionals can treat, heal, know

professionals must practice what they teach and believe in their work to heal their clients.
I am committed to accomplishing these goals in the physical, psychological, and spiritual
aspects of my daily life to be an all-around health and wellness professional to live as an
example and help my future clients.
