With that being said, spirituality is also something that is valuable and it is reported that self-awareness and growth create such a strong endorsement more so than cognitive behavior (Howard, N., McMinn, M., Bissell, L., Faries, S., & VanMeter, J. 2000). For my essential self, on my diagram, I made it the boat stern which is the flaps that help the direction of the way the boat goes in. The reason why is because my self-care and my identity is what holds the boat together and what helps direct it in the way it needs to go. My negative is the cloud at which it represents people and obstacles that try to bring me away or question who I am and what I identify with. Finding out my cultural identity and my gender identity have shown me how to exist in society as my own person but also find people that I can relate to. The goal to increase my wellness, I could attend more Indian affairs and get to know my culture more. It will bring me a sense of my roots and also help fulfil the need of self care in the which of feeding my head with more knowledge and loving where my family came from.With that being said, it is important to give back to the community that raised you, find spiritual books or time in the day to practice in what you believe, and always keeping hope and faith in what you do believe
