I will openly express my struggles with wellness and explain how I’ve improved since making the necessary changes I needed to make to be able to manage better.
To begin, my personal life has always been a difficult thing to deal with but it has slowly progressed into something I can live with.
As a child, I have had to deal with being abandoned by a vase amount of people who are supposed to be my loved ones. To start, my dad made a life choice to cheat on my mom when I was just born and after made another life choice to tell my mom he could no longer be in my life. Of course, as a child I did not understand much of anything that was going on and was told all of this later in my life when I could fully understand. Another thing I feel impacts me still to this day is being raped by my babysitter as a child which I have never mentioned to anyone but my girlfriend to this day, but I feel I am openly ready to share that I was. This probably mentally dismays me more than anything but I do feel the issues with my dad have had a bigger impact on me. These are the things in the past that I’ve had to get through to better my personal wellness. The reason I would consider this all personal wellness is because for a large amount of my life I have been stressed about the ongoing situations in my life that it has caused me to be unhappy. I would say the one thing that has affected me the most that corresponds with my dad are the relationships I have been in. The summary …show more content…
of the relationship I have been in have been abusing and emotionally abusing. I’ve been physically abused and emotionally, it’s gone as fast as me being spit one and even being told I should die. What I have gotten from all the occurrences converged in with my dad situation is that I am not worth anything, I have no value. So, for a couple of years I’ve been searching to be valued and I feel it interferes with other wellness traits in my life as it gets in the way sometimes to the point where I do not focus on my social and academic wellness whatsoever which I feel is what happened last semester. To better myself and regain the balance, I started to look for self-value and learned that even valuing myself is enough. When I began to have self-value people no longer walked all over me and people began to value me in many ways. This reopened the opportunity to reconnect with my academic and social wellness.
That being said, my academic wellness on the other hand was much different. As a student growing up until this past semester of college I was always well prepared for the next day, upcoming test, upcoming project, or upcoming quiz. Getting enough sleep to be attentive in class the next day was never a problem for me up until first semester of my freshman year of college. My social wellness and personal wellness got in the way of anything I had going for me academically which showed in my class work and test. I was still successful in classes but there was room for improvement in just about everywhere. My academic wellness is probably the wellness I analyzed the most because it is the wellness in which needed the most improving. Ways I looked to improve was by getting back on a sleep schedule to coordinate with my schedule. I have also considered what the campus offers such as the KU Writing Center and the AAAC, which I hope will soon better me to be more academically sound once again. Other ways I have looked to improve myself is not only having a sleep schedule for myself but also having a daily schedule for myself that allows me to expend my time management skills. Another way, I looked to improve was by having more study time rather than social time. I felt that it needed to be more well balanced and this past semester was a bit more social and personal rather than academic. Overall, I can see a slow progression because of the changes I have made and hope to see more in the near future. Before this can happen would need to adjust my social wellness without getting rid of it completely.
Therefore, my social wellness was also something I looked deeply into to because I corresponds well with my personal wellness and my personal strive to be valued.
This could be said to be my biggest issue because it has a huge effect on my academic wellness and personal wellness. How it effects my academic wellness is by taking so much time put towards persuading people to let me in and value me which is what hurts my personal wellness because it makes me almost sick to do this and I feel so unhealthy when I’m at
task.
