4 ways to Start holistic wellness journey
Create Your Personal Wellness Definition
To get started on your wellness journey, the first step is to define what wellness means and imagine what wellness looks like for you. This may involve some soul-searching and reflection. Once you have a better understanding of what wellness looks like for you, you can begin to take steps to incorporate it into your life.
Assess What’s Working and What’s Not
Next, assess what's working for you and not working for you at this current moment. Take a look back over the last month and ask yourself, What are some of things that have been working in my life? What are some of that are not? These questions will help you pinpoint where your wellness journey may need a little more work or planning.
Identify Your Strengths
According to the National Wellness Institute, the second step of their wellness journey is to get to know your strengths. This means taking some time for self-reflection and figuring out what you're good at. Once you know your strengths, you can start using them to your advantage and achieving your wellness goals.
Identify Your Goals
Now that you have a better understanding of what wellness looks like for you, it’s time to set some goals. But before you do, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, your goals should be realistic. That means setting goals that are achievable and within your control. Second, identify the steps, tools, and resources necessary to achieve your goal. This will help you stay on track and accountable. Finally, remember that wellness is a journey, not a destination.
Final Words
Happy National Wellness Month! This is the perfect time to start your holistic wellness journey. And the best way to do that is by taking some time for yourself – even if it’s just 10 minutes a day. Carve out time in your schedule to do things that make you feel good, whether it’s reading, going for a walk, meditating, or journaling. Remember, this journey is about you and your well-being.
