Reflection: Life Wellness

1. My time in this class has been very beneficial both for my education in school and my

physical well-being. The connections that could be drawn between this class and

others are countless but there was one I found to be the most helpful for me. That

connection was the importance of being responsible for your own well being and

success. Every course you take at SLCC provides all that is needed to succeed, all

that is left is participation and preparedness. If you take care of yourself and do what

is asked of then success is imminent for both work and your body. I was able to

realize this when the module assignments were centered around taking care of our

bodies such as physical fitness, sleep, and nutrition. I did the challenges required of

me throughout the modules and I saw that because I took care of my body, taking

care of my responsibilities was extraordinarily easier. What I had to take care of in

my other courses became more simple and easier to understand because my body was

in a better condition to do so. Responsibility is the theme and connection I made

overall, if you are responsible for yourself then you be responsible for everything

else.

2. The thoughts I had on physical fitness and life wellness were pretty mediocre before

this course. I knew it was important but not enough to apply it to myself, so I got

sluggish and lazy. I used to be pretty on top of fitness until a little after High School

where I lost motivation and got caught up in slump prioritizing other things above my

health. After completing this course, I have a new motivation to keep up on my health

through not just exercising but nutrition, hydration, and sleep. I would say that my

understanding of life wellness has revitalized and put back in my top priorities where

it most definitely belongs. The difference now is that I have better methods and

routines to help me stay on top of my fitness and life wellness that I learned

specifically through modules 2-5. Honestly the most influential thing for me this

course was the information on module 4 where it teaches about properly working out

and how to effectively pace yourself. I knew how to work out when conditioning for

races (since I ran sprints for track and field in high school) but I wasn’t in that

position any more so I felt a little lost and it hurt my motivation. Now I have the

information I need to effectively exercise like how long I should go for, how much

effort should I put into one day, and how much stretching should I before and after a

workout. I’ve felt the benefits of doing these things thanks to the assignments given

and now I can live a much more stress-free life.
