Write a half- to 1-page entry in your Health Journal that addresses the following:
- After reviewing the readings about the Dimensions of Wellness, explain which dimension of your wellness you feel is the most out of balance. Explain your response.
- Construct a 1-sentence goal statement related to a health behavior that falls within this dimension of wellness or dimensions (if it overlaps). Example: In order to improve my emotional and physical health, my behavioral goal is to get more sleep by going to bed an hour earlier each night.
- Identify two to three specific steps you will take to work toward this health behavior goal by the end of this course. Example: In order to get an additional hour of sleep each night, I will need to eat earlier in the evening and start my course work earlier. I also have a tendency to procrastinate, which means I don’t start my course work until 8 or 9 at night. I need to eat earlier, start on my home work by 6, and then I can get to bed no later than 10 pm.
- Explain the potential health benefits related to changing this behavior. Example: By getting more sleep, I’ll have more energy to get through the day, and my mood will likely improve. I think it will improve my emotional health, too, because I’ll be more rested to deal with stressful situations. Also I won’t have to panic the night before my assignments are due because I won’t be procrastinating. I may actually do better in my classes as well because I won’t be trying to write assignments with one eye!
