Journal Reflection #4 (Chapters 11-13?)
After completing the Location of the Self handout write a short reflection. This could include asking yourself, what are your most salient identities and role affiliations? Which identities have you experienced pride and/or pain over? Have any identities changed overtime? Did anything surprise you? What did you learn about yourself from the exercise? 

This is the Topic :
The Metaphysical Philosophy of New Consciousness for Successful Living.  
My problem of practice:Spirituality has become a growing force in today’s society, as more and more individuals are looking for a deeper understanding of life and their place in it. On the other hand, the mind is a powerful tool that can be used to explore the world around us and understand the physical and mental processes that govern our lives. While the mind and its associated mental processes can provide insight into the material world, true spiritual awareness can bring a deeper sense of connectedness and peace to one’s life. This thesis investigates the relationship between spiritual awareness and the mind, exploring the ways in which the two can be used in tandem to bring about a greater sense of wellbeing and inner harmony. 
The mind is an incredibly powerful tool, capable of incredible feats of logic, reasoning, and problem-solving. From a scientific perspective, the mind is seen as the ultimate source of thought, providing access to the physical and mental processes that govern our lives. However, the mind is not without its flaws, and can lead to feelings of anxiety, fear, and anger when it is allowed to run unchecked. In this sense, the mind can be seen as an unreliable guide, as its limited scope prevents it from providing insight into the deeper, spiritual truths of life. 
On the other hand, spiritual awareness can provide a greater sense of connectedness to the world around us. By tapping into the spiritual realm, individuals can experience a sense of peace and contentment that is not possible through the mind alone. Spiritual awareness can help us to let go of the mental clutter that often crowds our thoughts and can bring us closer to our true self, allowing us to live a more truly authentic life. 
In this thesis, I will examine the relationship between spiritual awareness and the mind. I will discuss how the two can be used together in order to bring about a greater sense of wellbeing and inner harmony. I will explore the ways in which spiritual awareness can be used to supplement the mental processes of the mind, allowing us to gain a better understanding of our place in the world. I will also discuss the potential dangers of relying too heavily on either the mind or spiritual awareness, arguing that a balanced approach is necessary in order to achieve true inner peace. Finally, I will discuss the implications of this relationship for individuals seeking to live more meaningful and fulfilled lives.

SCENARIO: Three months have passed since you created your first financial plan (i.e., the Unit 2 Touchstone). In that time, your budget has gone through some changes. The good news is that your income has increased because of your strong performance at work. However, health care and miscellaneous costs have gone up along with your earnings. You will need to reallocate your monthly budget based on these changes to see how you’re progressing toward your original savings goal.
While you appreciate numbers and figures, you also know that a strong financial analysis needs visual information. As part of your progress check, you’ve committed to creating a set of graphs that you can share with your financial advisor.
ASSIGNMENT: This assignment has two parts. In part 1, you will analyze personal finance data based on the scenario described above. You’ll use your problem solving and agility skills to balance three monthly budgets, and you’ll use your technology skill to graph the spending allocations in each of them. Finally, you’ll sharpen all three skills as you calculate and graph the progress you’re making toward your original savings goal.
In part 2, you will answer reflection questions about the decisions you made, identify how to create more savings opportunities, and make predictions about life and economic impacts that could affect the future of your plan.
For this assignment, you will:
Create three monthly budgets and perform a personal financial analysis using Microsoft Excel.
Summarize changes in expenditures between budgets.
Show the results of the analysis using appropriate graphs in Excel.
Explain how the graph types you have selected will help your financial advisor understand the data.
Discuss the results of the financial analysis including savings achievements, future budget modifications, and life impacts that could derail the budget in the coming year.
Reflect on what the analysis might reasonably look like in one year, accounting for economic factors such as inflation and the consumer price index.
Download the Excel template below, which further breaks down the steps involved in this assignment. You will return the completed template as your Touchstone submission.

For this assignment, you will create a maximum 4-page document that includes an explanation of the purpose of relapse prevention planning, discussion of different types of relapse triggers, and proposed relapse prevention plan.
In your essay, assume that you are an addiction professional who will work the client in the scenario.
Explain the purpose of relapse prevention planning (briefly).
Describe the three types of triggers that can lead to a lapse (e.g., emotional, mental, and physical).
Using the scenario below and the treatment plan outline in your text (p. 435), design a relapse prevention plan. Include three different treatment goals that address the specific triggers in the scenario. Assume that you are his addiction counselor and seeing him after a series of relapses.
Scenario: Bob
Bob is a 22-year-old Caucasian, heterosexual male who graduated from college two years ago. He works as a real estate broker with a very successful company. During the last two years, he worked very hard to earn enough money to rent an apartment in a great area of town. To maintain his new lifestyle, Bob works over 60 hours a week, often through the weekends. This is the first time that he has lived alone and he admits that he feels lonely at times. Bob reports that he spent the first year of living alone trying to find activities to occupy his time when he was not working. He stated that during these lonely times, he struggled with whether he could start drinking again (he was in recovery), just one or two beers at a time. He remembered how that helped him “take the edge off” and eventually began to drink again. However, this did not help him relax the way he remembered.
So, to “blow off steam,” he began throwing wild parties at his apartment, inviting his old college and high school friends. He encouraged them to bring other people so that the apartment is full of people. During the parties, he drinks 6–7 beers, smokes cannabis, and occasionally “does a little molly.” This is not affecting his work or personal life, according to Bob. He reports that he feels great after these parties and thinks that celebrating occasionally is not hurting him. He also reported that during these parties, he began having unprotected sex and liked how “risky” it felt. Unfortunately, he has contracted an STD in the last month. Bob stated that he just must take medication for it, so it is fine with him.
Last week while driving to work, Bob was arrested during a routine traffic stop for possession of a bag (50 pills) of MDMA, which is a felony charge. He is mandated to treatment because of his past charge of cannabis possession (four years ago). He was mandated to 6 months of outpatient treatment for that charge. He must once again complete treatment as part of his probation agreement. He was sober for two years before this relapse.
