INTRODUCTION
In America much of an individuals energy in healing is spent only focusing on the external factors of illness. This narrow focus only highlights 1 of a 4 quadrant approach to integral medicine. Integral medicine, in converse, focuses on the human being as a whole striving to discover the underlying issue and service the whole chain of illness, making it important for a health and wellness professional to understand. Integral healing focuses on four different parts of the human experience including:
• Interior – Individual (intentional)
The upper left quadrant is the “I “state of being (Interior Individual). This incorporates meditation, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, visualization, and contemplative prayer.
• Exterior – Individual (Behavioral)
The upper right quadrant (Exterior – Individual) involves the behavior of the individual.
• Interior- Collective (Cultural)
The lower left quadrant is the “we” state of being (Interior – collective) and involves the cultural aspects of the person. This covers the surrounding groups, support networks along with communication between doctors and patients. Studies have found that patients with strong support groups have faster recovery times and higher survival rates.
• Exterior – Collective (Social)
The lower right quadrant (Exterior – Collective) involves the social systems of the individual and sees health issues in a larger context of ecological systems and environmental toxins.
By understanding this greater physical wellness can be fostered. In addition integrating the five characteristics of Aeclepian healing will also enhance the effects of the psychologically, spiritually and physically development. They play a key role in the setting of goals. For the purpose of setting personal psychological, spiritual and physical goal that are integral in nature it is important they encompass the following attribute:
1. Holistic: including the four aspects of human life - Psycho spiritual, biological, interpersonal, and worldly.
2. Evolutionary: This is the step by step process taken to grow as an individual and to awaken into a larger world possibilities
3. Intentional: The consciousness that allows us to thoughtfully, carefully, and proactively determine our choices and carry them out.
4. Person-centered: People need to be ability to find for themselves the best ways to help them.
5. Dynamic: People need to have the ability to explore themselves and a large variety of ways to help themselves.
By developing goals in the manner and also making sure they are S.M.A.R.T.E.R will help me as a professional health and wellness coach by defining my purpose and create clarity. There is an old saying that “there is power in celerity”. The Acronym S.M.A.R.T.E.R stands for:
• Specific: Goals need to be something specific.
• Measurable: Goals need to be measurable.
• Achievable: Goals need to be reasonable and achievable.
• Realistic: Goals need to be realistic.
• Time Framed: Goals need to have a time frame.
• Evaluate: Seeing what is working and what needs improvement.
• Reevaluate: Constantly redoing and refining.
By creating goals and objectives that exhibit the attribute of both principles they will help discover the true root of issues that hold me back from fully realizing the potential of the different levels of the human experience. Also by treating me in this way, like Schnall suggests in his research, this will cause deep and profound changes for the better in the person making lasting changes.
Consistent exercise is a excellent way to create physical wellness. A workout regiment should be balanced with cardio and resistance training. Cardio helps with cardiovascular health and resistance assists with muscle development. Exercise has been shown to release chemicals in the brain that reduce stress and balance hormones in the body. Psychological wellness can be achieved through life long learning. Mathematics, reading, and memory exercises keep the mind toned and sharp. Psychological wellness have been shown to curve the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Also from personal experience, this helps with concentration and focus. Spiritual wellness is when you look inside for answers to life's questions. Meditation, visualization, and self contemplation are excellent ways to bolster the spirit. By addressing all of the parts of being a person can grow evenly and healthy. This also helps with concentration and mental focus.

Question: What is your goal for the way that people perceive you in regards to your Psychological Self?
Goal: I would like people to see me as stable psychologically and extremely intelligent. I would also like to be perceived as young and energetic. My target age is 25 in psychological age.
This is the category that I am the hardest on my self. I believe that when I was young that event that happened to me lead me on a path of self development and life long learning. I feel that I did not receive the education that I would had like to have and am constantly struggling against individuals that know more about different subjects than I do. I also feel that I am at a disadvantage because I am learning at an older age. I rated this item a 6 because I feel that this part of me is holding me back the most. This is why I always want to receive recognition and certifications. I think that this stems back to an issue with my parents. They were never supportive of school and did not push me academically. I do not blame them but I feel that this has put me behind others my age.

COMMITMENT:
There is an old saying that “90% of the time a plane is off course to it destination and the pilot is always making course corrections”. I truly believe this to my core. What I would like to do to make sure that I keep my goals is have a reward for reaching them. Therefore I am committing to myself to achieve my goals in 2011. As a reward for achieving my goals I will go on a trip to Las Vegas mid way through the year and Hawaii at the end of the year. I will not be able to go on these trips unless I hit my goals.
