Quality and Fulfillment of Life

One of the things that help us to develop wellness is paying attention to our quality of life.

If our quality of life is low, we feel depressed, or suppressed or oppressed. On the other hand, when our quality of life is high, we then feel that we can do anything, and we are happy and content with the way our life is going.

Quality of life is something that can be improved but first we must identify any areas of our life that we feel are lacking and ensure that everything receives a fair amount of attention, including home, work and play

By investigating all the areas of wellness and ensuring that everything receives a fair amount of attention, we can improve our quality of life and our capacity for developing the things that need to be improved or enhanced.

By accepting personal responsibility, we are keeping our power well within our own domain. This means that we can cultivate wellness to any degree that we see fit. We personally ensure that our daily life is ordered and regulated towards the development of wellness and we learn that in reality, we are the only ones responsible for this. By learning to look at our life, from our own point of view, considering what needs to be changed, what needs further encouragement, what works and doesn’t work for us, we develop an awareness of our own personal abilities, strengths and weaknesses.

When we approach wellness from this angle, we show ourselves that we truly do have the power to be independent, confident, and effective at enhancing positive changes in our life.

In the world of wellness cultivation, there is no greater power than realizing that the ability to inspire and encourage wellness comes down to your own levels of determination, willpower, and dedication.

Why make these changes?

Enjoy each day to its fullest and find fulfillment and personal satisfaction in your daily life

Feel energetic each morning and look forward to the day

Create a comfortable and healing home environment

Develop a sense of connection, belonging and support

Step 1 – Complete the Holistic Wellness Wheel:

Choose a value between 1 (very unhappy) and 10 (couldn't be happier). Now draw a line and write the score alongside (see example on page 1).IMPORTANT: Use the FIRST number (score) that pops into your head, not the number you think it should be!
