In today's fast-paced world, there's a common misconception surrounding wellness that I would like to debunk: We often believe that true wellness means always being well and living an effortless life. However, the reality is that we all face challenging moments that can last for hours, days, weeks, and sometimes feel like an eternity.

Cultivating Awareness: The Core of Wellness

At its core, wellness starts with cultivating awareness - being mindful when things veer off course. It's about acknowledging the difficult moments without judgment and understanding that it's okay to experience challenges. By nurturing greater acceptance, we can carve the best path forward. Resisting only deepens the struggle.

Building Resilience and Unhooking from Negativity

Developing the ability to un-hook again and again, and build resilience enables us to respond thoughtfully to life's moments. It's about empowering ourselves with mindful tools and wholeheartedly committing to using them to make valuable pivots in our perspectives, actions, and interactions. These tools become our lifeline when we find ourselves sliding or facing the brink of a deep ditch, allowing us to navigate our way back to a place of strength.

Portia Nelson's Wisdom

Portia Nelson’s Autobiography in 5 Short Chapters, highlighted in the above, beautifully captures this journey; a bottom-lined, powerful story of increased well-being and self-actualization. Like her, we can embrace the true essence of wellness by challenging the myths and understanding that wellness is not about perfection, but rather progress.
