Discovering Your Wellness Potential
Introduction
Are you becoming more of yourself every day? While it might seem like an odd question, exploring the mind/body model of wellness reveals that the journey to being "well" is a continual path towards self-wholeness. According to this model, achieving wellness means progressively becoming more of who you truly are.
If you need some guidance on this journey, this article will help you uncover your wellness potential with three practical steps.
Step One: Create Your "Loves" List
The first step to unlocking your wellness potential is self-discovery. Start by creating what Dr. Herbert Benson and Eileen M. Stuart in The Wellness Book call your "10 Loves List." Simply list ten activities you love that pose no risk to your physical or emotional health. Rate their importance and reflect on whether you spend enough time doing them. Trust your instincts when jotting down your list.
For instance, my list includes writing, reading, exercising, meditating, journaling, listening to music, spending time with friends and family, watching movies, petting my cat, and making jewelry.
Step Two: Uncover Missing Elements and Set Long-Term Goals
As you look at your list, consider what activities are missing or what you could do more of to feel whole. Your heart and mind will guide you here. Use this reflection to create a long-term goal?"something challenging yet feasible to accomplish within a year.
Consider which of your activities you believe is your greatest gift to the world. For example, my list led me to set a goal of writing, editing, and publishing a new book.
Step Three: Set Short-Term Goals and Reconnect with Yourself
Now, establish short-term goals for the next month in line with your long-term objective. These goals should be specific, realistic, measurable, and behavior-oriented. For example, to achieve my writing goal, I plan to write five pages a day, five days a week.
Commit to these goals by creating a personal contract. Sign and date it, and revisit it at the month's end. This exercise aligns with the idea that it takes 21 days to form a habit. Consistently pursuing short-term goals increases your chances of reaching your long-term goal.
Conclusion
Continue renewing and recommitting to your long-term goals by adjusting your short-term objectives as needed. Regularly revisit your "Loves List" to integrate more of these activities into your life. Remember, your focus expands what you create space for, guiding you to rediscover lost pieces of yourself.
Embrace this lifelong journey of staying true to yourself. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it... the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."
