Total Wellness Guide

Before setting health and wellness goals, determine what behaviors you are TRULY ready to change. If you think you are doing fine and don't need to work on WELLNESS, get REAL
with yourself! We all have behaviors we can work on and improve in this area.

WRITE DOWN what your ideal health picture should look like. When in your life did you feel and look your VERY best?

  1. Create a vision statement based on how you will look,
    feel and behave.     Here is a sample wellness vision:
    "I will become a more balanced, less stressed, even tempered person and will make health my top priority.    "
  2. Set three month goals based on your vision statement.
    6 month and one yeargoals can also be set but setting 3 month goals gives urgency to start working toward the goal today.     It's also best to only work on 3 to 5 changes at a time. When we try to make too many changes at once we can feel overwhelmed and defeated
  3. Determine your INTERNAL MOTIVATORS for change and put them in writing.
    Why do you want to "run a marathon", "lose 20 pounds", "start a weight-training program", etc?
  4. Determine your obstacles, I call them "IT's".
    "IT's" are competing priorities that hinder us from achieving
    the things we want in life. Do your best friends disapprove of your healthy eating? Are you a night owl but have a goal to start running early in the mornings? List all the people or habits that are keeping you from achieving your goals and come up with a strategy as to how you are going to get around those obstacles.
  5. What 3 things can you do this week to work toward your
    3-month goals?
    Make certain you are at least 80% sure you can achieve your weekly goals. If you are not at least 80% certain, you need to cut back at the goal. Maybe run only two mornings this week instead of the four you thought you could do.
  6. To whom will you be accountable?
    Many of us need a hand or a shoulder on which to lean. Solicit support from one or two family members or a close friend that will positively support your efforts through your journey of achieving optimum health.
