Do you feel:
- Content?
- Energized?
- Connected?
- Balanced?
Are you able to put the bad days in perspective and live with a sense of purpose?
If you answered yes, then you are experiencing wellbeing, a state of being in alignment (body, mind, and spirit).
But many of us aren’t there. Our lifestyle is causing us pain, whether we are tired or stressed or overweight. We feel disconnected from others or stuck in a routine that hold no meaning. We are dissatisfied with our daily lives. We live in worry.
The good news is that—with practice, we can enhance our wellbeing and achieve a state of balance and contentment.
Begins with a question
Wellbeing begins with the simple question—what can I do to feel content and balanced? Asking this shifts our whole perspective—we are no longer looking to our healthcare providers or government or food companies to tell us what we need to do. We are empowering ourselves to explore what we really need and to evaluate for ourselves what makes sense.
Wellbeing comes from within
Your path to wellbeing will be unique to you, arising from an awareness of where you are and what you need. As you proceed:
- Listen to your body and mind.
- Take small steps.
- Create a positive environment where you can succeed.
- Include support from others.
- Be compassionate to yourself as you go and start again whenever you need to.
- Remember that wellbeing is our natural inclination.
- Savor successes.
