Part 1:

The three assessments/activities within the Health Action Plan that I found the most informative were:
1. ______________________________ because ___________________________________________ (this doesn't have to be terribly long, but should be well thought out, well written and be longer than 1 sentence)
2. ______________________________ because ___________________________________________
3. ______________________________ because ___________________________________________
(if you're simply copying and pasting this template into your assignment, delete the "spaces" I do not want to see a sentence surrounded by underlining.)

Again, if this small portion of the assignment is not included you will automatically lose 30% from your Health Action Plan Grade (meaning the highest mark possible would be 70%).
Please take the time to review your assessments and identify the three that you found taught you the most about yourself. This will mean something different for everyone - maybe the assessment reinforced something that you already knew about yourself, maybe the assessment brought to light a behaviour you participate in that increases your risk for a particular condition that you didn't know of or think of previously, or maybe it was an activity that you tried and found helpful (think stress management or physical activity).

The Health Action Plan integrates activities and materials from each module throughout the course into a comprehensive package. Throughout the semester, you will complete various assessments and activities that assess your health history and current health status. These activities will help you determine areas of your health and wellness that are strong and areas that would benefit from additional attention. Using this information, you will develop an action plan to enhance resiliency in your health and wellness. This document will provide support to your on-going journey of living a balanced, healthy life.
Success in this project will require organization and attendance to class. Activities, worksheets, and mini-assignments required for this project will be completed both in-class and on your own time.
This is a two-part assignment:

Part 2: Health Action Plan

Part 1 of this project provides you with the information; Part 2 requires that you analyze this information to synthesize a plan. You will review each assessment completed in Part 1 identifying areas of strength and areas that require more attention. Based on what you have found, complete the following:

1. Strong: Identify two (2) areas of your health and wellness that you are confident you provide with an appropriate amount of attention.
a. Explain what actions (minimum two [2]) you have taken until now that have strengthened these areas.
b. Knowing that life changes, provide one (1) strategy for each area that you will use to ensure that these areas of your life are still thriving when faced with obstacles.
c. How will you measure your satisfaction in these areas? In other words, how will you recognize if your wellness in these areas falls or remains high?

2. Developing: Identify two (2) areas of your health and wellness that you would like to enhance.
a. Explain why you believe these areas require more attention.
b. Outline two (2) actions that you will take to enhance your satisfaction in these areas. Why are these actions important?
c. How will you know when you have reached satisfaction in these areas?

3. Risks
a. Review the materials covered in Part 1. Dissect this material and identify the top chronic or current disease/issue that you are at the highest risk for based off of your:
i. Family health history
ii. Current behaviors and actions

b. What lifestyle changes can you make to reduce your risk of encountering this disease/health issue now and in your future? Provide two (2) strategies and indicate whether there is any over-lap in these behaviors. For example: Monica is planning to quit smoking as it may reduce her risk for both cardiovascular disease and cancer - both diseases that she is at a high risk for because of family health history and current lifestyle choices.

c. Develop a one-month plan that highlights the actions that, if performed regularly over a long-term period, would assist in protecting yourself against the disease of concern. Include behaviors that these changes would replace if applicable.
i. Include:
1. Top behaviors that need to be changed
2. What you will replace those behaviors with
3. The frequency of the above behaviors

4. Reflect
a. This project has been an ongoing tool for you to take a deeper look into your personal health and wellness. Reflect on the experience.
i. What was the biggest thing you learned about yourself over the course of the semester and these activities?
ii. Review your daily wellness checks. What were common themes? Is there anything that you can do to change negative outcomes, and continue positive outcomes?
iii. Did you identify any "red-flags" in your lifestyle choices that you were unaware of before beginning this project?
iv. Would you use this tool, either the same or a condensed version, to check-in on your health and wellness 10, 20, 30 years down the road?
v. What are you most proud of yourself for in terms of your health and wellness?
