Personal Wellness Inventory
Introduction
When providing care for others, it is crucial for one to realize the importance of personal health. One’s emotional, spiritual, and physical health must come as a priority in order to ensure that proper care can be provided. If the caregiver does not recognize their own health needs, inevitable they become the patient themselves, seeking assistance. A job of a caregiver is never ending; it requires the upmost compassion and respect while still being able to make medical decisions that ultimately effect the patient. Thus, becoming burnt-out or overwhelmed in the position of a caregiver can be very easy. In this paper, the emotional inventory and burnout inventory will be reflected upon, a plan to combat …show more content…

I find this to be very true as I make an effort to accept people for who they are. I do not expect people to give me anything rather, I want to be there to help them in life. This inventory also stated that I take responsibility for my actions. Personally, I find myself to be a very independent person; therefore, if I have done something wrong I will openly admit to it ensuring that I go out of my way to correct the mistake. I pride myself on making sure to take responsibility as I know that in times of my mistakes, I might not be honoring God. However, by fixing the problem and asking for forgiveness, I know that God accepts me. The next description of an emotional adult states that I a free of being critical and judgmental, which I find myself to be lacking in this area. I will admit, I can be quick to judge people especially when meeting for the first time. This is something that I am working on correcting as I know that I should not be the one to judge individuals, as everyone answers to …show more content…

However, there is always an area for improvement. In order to grow spiritually, I feel that I could take more time out of each day to center myself one-on-one with God. This could include, setting aside 30 minutes after lunch to do devotions and prayer. Not only will this help me grow spiritually, but this will aid in my plan of combating burnout. Next, I feel that in many ways I let my school schedule overcome my church involvement. At times, I am unable to attend church due to studying for an exam or homework. I will make more of an effort to work further ahead so that this does not happen. This will not only allow me to center myself around God but also immerse myself in the life of fellow Christians. Finally, my last improvement will be to work on not being judgmental as this was the area I scored low in during the

Sometimes in my mind all I need to do to be a better Christian or closer to God is more and longer spiritual disciplines. However, God cares not just about what actions people take on the outside but who they are on the inside driving these actions. Truly, we can do nothing good without God and we need God in our lives much more than we often realize. Behind the veil of twenty first century prosperity and distractions are a people that are spiritually dead on this inside but white and clean on the outside; and this is a sad, terrible

In the Wellness Workbook: How to Achieve Enduring Health and Vitality, Travis and Ryan (2004) share their thoughts and philosophies on wellness. Their ideas include taking care and maintaining our bodies, clearly expressing emotions, building and nourishing relationships with others, and being aware of our psychological and spiritual presence. Travis and Ryan (2004) provide a great example: they explain that a person who is in top physical condition does not necessarily mean that they have achieved high-level wellness. They could be overwhelmed and full of stress in their home and/or work environment; they are most likely facing premature death on the wellness continuum. If a person is suffering from an illness or is dealing with some type of disability and are working towards having the best life possible, then they are most likely facing high-level wellness on the continuum.

These people’s exhaustion may negatively affect the care that is given to the patients. One research study delved into the childhood of the caregivers to determine if the how the caregivers bonded as a child influenced whether or not they would become exhausted. The researchers used surveys to determine that the caregivers who were less secure in their relationships with others did become exhausted when caring for patients with dementia. They recommended that staff be educated about the effects of attachment on burnout (Kokkonen, Cheston, Dallos, & Smart, 2014). Reference Kokkonen, T.-M., Cheston, R. I., Dallos, R., & Smart, C. A. (2014).

Growing up in a Christian home I have been surrounded by church life but not necessarily with our origins or learning why the church is how it is today. What especially challenged me was the questioning on how we can move forward in the church today. I was once again affirmed by my thoughts that more and more young individuals are walking away from the church, and in my opinion that is a scary thought. I was challenged when individuals like Rev Cory Seibel asked us in the crowd how we can change this walk away as well as why it was happening. Additionally, this game me lots to think about over the last couple weeks as this issue has to deal with my friends and co-students as I am at the age where its happening the most.

According to the Wellness Inventory, my lowest scores were in the Wellness and Breathing and Playing/ Working Categories. Doing this assignment really opened my eyes and it was very beneficial to me. I had always felt like I eat healthy and stay active the majority of the time. Now, I’m starting to think that maybe I am not active at all, only too busy running around. While I was reading the textbook, on the topic of Reinforcing Factors, it was saying how you should not make goals “from a desire to please or impress someone else (Page 17).”

Since I was ten years old, I had cursed myself, and muttered insults when I looked in the mirror. I said things like “stupid” and “ugly”, but with much more elaboration. The first day I woke up as a child of God, I DID NOT HATE MYSELF! This was the first day I didn’t do it, and I realized I was worthy of love. From that day on, I began to believe His promises.

Before I talk about how my beliefs, views, and faith, I would like to touch upon how I have changed in my four years of in college. Growth would be the key word.

I find myself in the Conjunctive faith stage, where I will remain because I am not, nor will I ever be anything like Ghandi or Mother Teresa, but as I read each level, I can see my own progression. I was raised in a Pentecostal Christian church, attending every Sunday morning and evening, and Wednesday nights, so God and religion has always been ingrained in me. From as far back as I can remember, I was either a part of, or attended many plays that portrayed stories from the Bible. Under some of the characteristics listed in Stage 1, it says that plays and programs are very successful with this age, which I strongly agree with. I can remember ever song and play that I saw in church over the years.
