The goal of this reflection is to articulate these
responses knowing what you know now, then use that as a basis for comparison
later. Prepare your responses as a cohesive paper using the numbered
points as a guide for your paper's flow. In other words, your opening
paragraph will describe
- In
your words, what is Optimal Performance?
-
Describe a situation where a desire to achieve optimal performance
transformed into obsessive or compulsive behavior. Then, describe the
nature of optimal performance that enables a person to be neither complacent
nor obsessive.
- What
is the relationship between the concept of Five Components of Wellness and
the concept of Optimal Performance?
- What
do you think is the single biggest barrier keeping all of us from seeking
lives of optimal performance?
- Prochaska
has proposed that in making personal changes one goes through a predictable
series of stages or “Stages of Change” which he defines as follows: pre-contemplation,
contemplation, preparation/determination, action, maintenance and
termination. Where do you think the process breaks down for most people?
Why?
- Fantasize
and describe:
Imagine making a change that resulted in more optimal performance in one
component of wellness. How
would that affect the other four?
