So, I went to the doctor today for a wellness check. As I was waiting to be seen, I found myself going through all of the feedback from the doctor since the last time that I was here. As I went through each note of feedback, it occurred to me that I was about to get a grade. I was going to be graded based on my current wellness and the efficiency in which I used the feedback that I was given.
It wasn't a stretch for me to relate this to school and giving students feedback. They are given feedback, they take some time to use the feedback, and eventually they are given a grade for their work.
Well, due to the loss of some weight, my blood pressure being much lower (in fact, below normal), and my labs coming back 98% normal...I was given a grade. The doctor refused to give me an actual grade so I looked at the 98% and gave myself an A. A solid A.
We get so busy with life that we take our physical selves for granted. We tend to feel as though- as long as it doesn't hurt or it's not bleeding...we are fine. Our physical wellness is essential to EVERYTHING! We cannot be...anything...without our health.
I like this idea of looking at the progress of my wellness as feedback driven for a grade. I want to be a success in all that I do. I certainly will want to get an A next time at the doctor. I think I will work towards the goals of the feedback given. Sorry Fried Foods!
Be Mindful.
Peace.
