Evaluating Wellness
Wellness of the body occurs when all the body processes, physical and mental are functioning as the peak levels. What does it take to achieve a complete body wellness? It requires more than simply taking a trip to the gym, or a walk in the park....

personal definition of wellness and although each was unique and distinct yet there was a synonymous streamlining of their sense of wellness which is that ' wellness ' is a holistic concept and one of balance, encompassing the ' whole ' person and all aspects of their life. It seemed to be unanimous that keeping these aspects balanced can be like a juggling act and if just one dimension is out of balance, it will upset the others. In daily life it can be an ongoing conscientious struggle to achieve this balance.

Balance is a universal law and for things to function properly there must be equilibrium. Three examples are:

responsibility for the quality of your life. It may mean raising your standards above what you have been comfortable with; it will require time, commitment, energy, motivation and attitude.

'' Adventure isn't just hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day to day obstacles of life -- facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and in the process, discovering our own unique potential '' (--John Amatt organizer and participant in Canada's first successful expedition to the summit of Mt Everest.)

'' We are constantly advancing, like explorers, into the unknown, which makes life an adventure all the way '' Eleanor Roosevelt

We all have tried many times in different ways to tackle and manage the imbalances in our lives; sometime however, unsuccessfully or not completely. Encouragement,accountability and knowledge are often lacking. As a Coach, I help you discover/unearth who you are, where you are at and where you want to go and to create sustainable, healthy changes in your life with resources, tools and insights and a strong partnership with you.
