Ongoing Monitoring
As the course comes to an end, it's important to continue assessing yourself periodically to maintain your progress and make necessary adjustments. Here's what you can do moving forward:
- Establish a timeline: Determine a regular interval for self-assessment that feels right for you. This could be every 3 to 6 months or align with significant dates such as your birthday, New Year, solstice, or equinox. Choose 2-4 times per year that are easy to remember and commit to sticking with them.
- Medical Symptom Questionnaire: Regularly complete a Medical Symptom Questionnaire to evaluate your overall health and well-being. This questionnaire should include questions similar to those found in the Happy Place Worksheet. Assess various aspects of your life, including food choices, social situation, work-life balance, happiness, moods, habits, sleep, pain levels, and gut health.
- Dedicate time for self-assessment: Allocate a couple of hours during your chosen intervals to sit down and assess yourself. Reflect on what aspects of your current lifestyle you want to maintain and identify areas you may want to change or let go of. Consider what you want to bring into your life in the coming months and create a reasonable plan to achieve those goals.
- Get help if needed: If you encounter challenges or need support in making changes or assessing yourself, don't hesitate to seek assistance. Reach out to healthcare professionals, wellness coaches, or other individuals who can provide guidance and help you implement your plan effectively.
- Remind yourself of your why: If you find yourself getting off track, establish a daily reminder that connects you with your motivation for wanting to feel healthy. Choose one activity that serves as a reminder of your purpose and keeps you focused on your goals.
- Be good to yourself: Remember that this is your life and your body. Take care of yourself and prioritize your well-being. You are the only constant presence in your life from your first breath to your last. Embrace a life filled with health and happiness, and treat yourself with kindness and compassion.
- Celebrate your achievements: Recognize and celebrate the progress you have made throughout this course. You have earned the benefits of improved health and vitality. Your body deserves continued support to thrive and make the most of your time on Earth.
It's time for personal growth, nourishment, and enjoyment. Embrace the journey ahead, maintain the positive changes you have made, and continue to prioritize your health and happiness. You have the power to shape your life and create a fulfilling and vibrant future for yourself.
