How’s Your Personal Wellness?
09 Mar 2009
We have been hearing a great deal lately about health and wellness in the US from our new administration. Our current medical paradigm is no longer working as it focuses on disease care: you get sick, go to a doctor, get a prescription, have surgery and just keep doing what you are doing and your health continues to deteriorate year after year. It’s time to change the medical paradigm in the US from treating illness to coaching for optimal health.
The truly sad and latest research indicates many of us will most likely out live our children and maybe our grandchildren. The increase in obesity, diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) heart and coronary artery disease have occurred due in most part to our lifestyle habits. I’m not talking about just exercise and diet, I’m talking about the HUGE amount of stress we live with today and how unfulfilled we may be in our personal and/or professional lives. Many individuals do not know what their personal needs and values are and how to live a life that fully expresses them. Many of us feel stuck and some hopeless. We are completely exhausted all the time. We are busily taking care of our work, our loved ones and letting ourselves fall to the bottom of our list. We never have a second to sit down and think about who we were meant to be in this world and how we want to express ourselves in our own lives. You were put here for a reason; do you know what your purpose is?
Many of the individuals I talk with today are overweight, in pain, have dwindling health, are taking numerous prescriptions and just not engaged in the fantastic gift of their lives. They are doing, doing, doing, getting nowhere and are just plain miserable. Isn’t it time to stop and find a better way? Who helps you get off the hamster wheel and start living a life of meaning? But of course - a life and wellness coach. I co-create with my clients a life they want to live, because when you live true to who you are, it is easier to live healthily, happily and create true prosperity in all areas of you life. Wellness coaching is really about living in wholeness, with high energy, optimal health, engaging in meaningful work, having supportive and loving relationships, feeling confident and knowing that you are finally comfortable in your own skin. Can you imagine living a healthy, fully engaged life doing exactly what you were put on this earth to do? It’s about living YOUR life on purpose.
A Tool For Greater Wellness
I’ve added a comprehensive wellness program to my coaching business to help you easily assess your current state of wellness, determine where you want to make changes and create a plan to get going!
The Wellness Inventory Program is a “whole person” assessment and lifestyle program designed to help you gain personal insight into your state of physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. The program offers guidance and tools to transform this new awareness into lasting changes in your life, and a renewed sense of health and wellbeing.
You may want to take the Wellness Inventory Assessment and proceed on your own. No problem, this program is available to you for a year to work through each of the 12 dimensions of wellness, design a wellness plan and re-assess yourself again to see the improvement in your personal wellness. It’s a powerful process to see your life graphically displayed with a summary of the dimensions you most want to change and a list of the areas to begin your work to live in wholeness.
As a way of introduction to my subscribers, I’m offering a special discount for the month of March and April that includes the assessment, a year of access to the on-line program, all resources and a 60-minute planning meeting to get you started for $126 that’s a 40% discount off the regular price of $210. I will coach you on this call to uncover the priority areas you want to start improving and begin designing a plan that works for you. This process is not painful, it’s enlightening, inspirational and you will begin to see your life in a new light with brand new awareness – that’s what makes change easy.
No more excuses, no more wasted energy, no more wasted time. Let’s go! Call my office or e-mail me to learn more about how you can get on track to live the life you know in your heart you were meant to live.

Not ready to see the truth of your life visually in the Wellness Inventory Wheel? It’s ok, we all make changes in our own time or when we are sick and tired of being sick and tired. I know some of my client’s come to work with me when they have completely fallen off their list and others come when they are still on their list but know something is not right in the way they are living their lives. It’s a personal decision.
Here are a few first step questions to begin improving your wellness:
-
How is your thinking holding you back from the wellness you desire?
-
What thought patterns do you need to change to take a step towards wellness each week?
-
What one small step do you need to take tomorrow to start improving your wellness?
To Your Health and Wellness!
