What was the most helpful? • Balance is constantly changing and needs redefining to find its true nature • How much I miss nature...and that [my partner], who should provide me with joy does not consistently...which I need to figure out what to do about. • Actually writing things down, forcing myself to think about my life, and having something to take away to remember my goals.
Student Feedback Cont…. • Most helpful was the section on forgiveness; plus I learned that sometimes watching a sitcom actually does contribute to my health! • The health hints • Broadened my health goals based on my spiritual needs not just physical • It helped enforce the notion that you can't help others if you can't help yourself!
Student Feedback Cont’d…. • Thinking about spirituality as an aspect of health. • I need to develop a sense of humor. • Putting all these things together • Importance of relationships to my happiness • Learning that life exists outside of this year • I have a great life!
