1. Have you always been as healthy as you are now? Please explain.
-Yes, I have been active since I was a baby. When I was young, I couldn't help my self from going outside and played soccer,basketball etc. I only came back home for dinner.

Fitness Habits:

I prefer climbing up the mountains so I can get fresh air and get closer to nature. I play golf 2 times a week for 18 rounds and I avoid riding a buggy and walk as I'm playing golf.

Coping with Stress:
- I usally release my stress by exercising, eating delicious food and spending time with family. However, I often keep the stress in mind because I don't have much time for reducing my stress, I'm always busy with somthing and that gives me more stress. So I should improve in this one more.

Dealing with Conflicts:
- I listen to the advices from people and discuss with lots of people because everyone has different thoughts and others might have better ideas.

Keeping a Positive Attitude:
-I'm grateful with what I have and I try to think positive when I encounter conflicts and that helps me solving the problems.

Wellness Continuum




Our class took a survey that shows you where you are belong to on the Wellness Continuum. It said I am aware of health. I got good scores in self-nutrition, safety,social and heredity. Around 35. I think it's because sometimes, I eat fast food but mostly I to eat healthy meals and organic food. And I try my best to get along with everybody and communicate. My lowest score out of the six sections was the physical. I scored a 18 out of 40. I wasn't very surprised with my result because, I always knew that I don't exercise a lot and stay in indoors. However, it's the one that is lowering my position from the Wellness Continuum. I could be higher than being "aware" if this section was as high as others. Therefore, I realized that I should change my life style to little more active and physical. I would try to exercise more than 2 times a week, walk rather than riding a car when it's not that far and do some kinds of outdoor activities that I can enjoy like riding bicycle. I will show some progress in physical in order to improve my health.
