For those fortunate to visit us at H3, you are very familiar with our wonderful program interns. They are full of energy and are great motivators! Here is a guest post from one of our current H3 program interns, Sarah.
Often we here the buzz word, “WELLNESS,” and as health professionals refer you to improve your wellness you may wonder what does this mean to me? The term Wellness is often referred to as a multidimensional balanced approach to living with the goal of reaching optimal quality of life.
You may think to yourself 'my optimal quality of life is retirement, digging my toes in the sand, and cruising the Caribbean islands with a frozen top shelf margarita in hand'. While, everyone’s personal dreams and goals can identify their own optimal quality of life…the health care professional is talking about this in slightly different terms.
Reaching optimal quality of life can be quite dynamic and perplexing. To help you simplify the steps you can take to improve your overall health and wellbeing first think about what emotions are triggering you to live your best life yet? Identifying why you are motivated can help you set goals that you want to stick with. Next, understand wellness means all-encompassing of your overall health. Are you supported emotionally, physically, environmentally, intellectually, spiritually, and socially? If you identify your needs in each area and make a conscious effort to find balance between all of these you are on the right track.
Lastly, keep in mind you may need professional support to ensure you are adhering to health and wellness goals. Wellness coaches are hired to empower clients to take ownership and optimize health and well-being by encouraging self growth: creating new behavioral goals, constructing a path, and aiding them to reach their full potential. What better time than now? Take charge and invest in becoming your best self. If you don’t know where you want to go you are going to have a difficult time getting there. Just like we do in business, devise a vision, plan, goals, and get it done!
And, as we always say at H3, please contact us anytime! We are here to help!
