Though I enjoyed this course, the last ten weeks were a bit tough. Being said, I don't think I could have made it with my mind intact as it is had it not been for what was taught. I would say I have not seen much of an improvement with my physical except I was able to do away with the cane I was using in the beginning. So, I would rate that as an 8. My spiritual due to some recent events has peaked at a 10 which is amazing for me because I got pretty down for a while about a lot of different things. Psychological, well for me this goes hand in hand with the spiritual, I have seen an improvement and I would like to rate it a 9.
My goals are still intact to "to keep up with the integral forms of physical therapies and am hopeful
to keep my pain in a manageable state.
Additionally, I intend to not only reestablish but to maintain a strong
emotional connection with my wife and family post retirement and
graduation. Hopefully, by shedding the
stress and pressure of my current occupation and enter into civilian life with
a third degree." I look forward to graduation after the next term.
I have implemented many of the techniques such as meditation, music therapy and a handful of additional therapies off and on not as much as I wish I would have, but I learned long ago not to beat myself up, just keep moving forward and do the best I can. If I stumble, just stand back up again.
For this class there have been some difficulties. It wasn't the material that was difficult, it is what the course opened for me. It seems I have some unresolved issues I learn of while in this course which require managing. However, this course was awesome in gaining the tools to do just that. I really don't think there will be much of an opportunity to utilize these tools in my professional life, but there is now doubt about how helpful they are in my personal life.
I would once again like to thank everyone in this class for sharing the last ten weeks with me. Its been an honor and a privilege. Cheers!
Aaron
