Personal Narrative: The Transtheoretical Model
According to the Transtheoretical Model, I am currently in the Maintenance stage. My last two New Year’s resolutions have been to increase my healthy eating and exercise. Daily my focus is to eat right, and exercise. These past two years I’ve been shopping at Moms organic store. I shop there and buy fresh vegetables ranging from carrots to onions. Super fruits such as bananas and avocado are always on the list. Oats and bananas has become my favorite breakfast meal. I even buy organic pasture raised eggs. From my knowledge those are the highest quality to eggs to buy. Costing me 8 dollars a dozen! I even cook my own meals at home buying organic pasta and meats. The gym isn’t really my thing, so each day at home I go through a workout routine. The routine consists of pushups, diamond pushups, leg ups, a form of crunches and squats. I try to incorporate at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. I use a app on my phone to track my activity. If I don’t; obtain 60 minutes by my regular daily activity, I go out for jogs in my

neighborhood sometimes take the dog for a walk.
One specific dimension of health I would love to change is having a good time at parties or during happy hours without binge drinking. I am not a heavy drinker nor do I have a drinking problem, but some of my friend’s sure do. Since turning 21 it’s been rough enjoying my weekends without going out and drinking. One of my goals for this semester is to go out less, and spend more time focused on my study's.
My three lowest results consist of, Environmental health, Spiritual health, and Personal Health Promotion/ Disease Prevention.
Making my own cleaning agents has been something on my mind as of late, but haven’t gotten around to it. Over the past year I have learned it is quite easy to make your own soap and toothpaste. Other than that I believe I do a good job in that department. Spiritual in no surprise came to be a 12. My mother raised me as a Christian, so going to church was a part of my childhood. Over the recent year’s church has become a rarity, only attending special days, such as new year’s and Easter Sunday. Personally at this time in my life, I just don’t have the answer. I don’t really go full out in life as a human being there are somethings outside my comfort zone that would help me experience life to the fullest. I often find myself wasting time, so finding ways to expand my comfort zone can be beneficial at my stage in
life.
My top three results from taking the “How Healthy Are You?” assessment where physical health, intellectual health, and emotional health. These results come as expected Over the past two years, I have been focusing on healthy eating, along with daily 60-minute exercise. Emotionally I have focused on keeping myself focused on what’s important for me to succeed in life. Some nights I use YouTube for meditational videos, and even sometimes sleep to them as well. Intellectual health came to me a bit of a surprise. This section fluctuates for me. In the most recent times I would say I am strong in this category. I am able to talk to just about anyone at any time without any type of discomfort, which has not all way’s been the case.
