Wellness Mindset
​Quality Life Forum Self-Care Series


​ February 2016

Mindset determines what you and your life will become.  Human brain is powered with knowledge, curiosities, creations, and emotions, while the mindset is trained for values and believes, critical thinking logics, determinations and behavioral control.
Your wellness mindset is the starting point of your health and wellbeing.  When you value health highly, motivated for optimize quality of life potential, you will commit for positive behavioral changes and sustain for a healthy life style.

Health is more than absence of diseases and free of physical discomforts, as emotional and social conditions are associated with general health, according to World Health Organization (WHO). A good health is essential for happiness and allows life to be enjoyable. 

Wellness is a broad concept, which is a state of being where one’s physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, occupational, financial, and spiritual health are in balance and are supportive for the life style, based on the eight dimensional model.

Life is not perfect, but a personal journey full of new challenges. If you are healthy and well, congratulations but don’t take it granted. Quality of life is earned with efforts, not granted for free.

If you have not already started, no matter where you are, now is better than ever to make positive changes toward your wellness.  Take a close look of your eight dimensions objectively with an open mind – are you on track for where you want to be? Don’t sink into the busy work; it is common to keep going but got lost in life.  Or maybe you keep putting off wellness objectives, just because “don’t feel like doing it”.
​
Think again; be aware -
  • Life is a one way time train; will not wait and will not return
  • You are making your life choices consciously or unconsciously; you will be where you want to be or end up at no where
  • Life time is limited; stop ignoring your health before damage is done. Healthy living is earned and no one can do or buy for you

Looking into your own eyes in a mirror, do you see yourself as your trustworthy ally or worst enemy? Start up with different mindset; you will end up at different places. Most failures are results of self-defeating. See the fundamental differences in key characteristics of a wellness mindset, compared with mindless–

                                          Wellness mindset                                                            Mindless                                                    
                                          Actively pursue goals                                                      Empty minded and passive
                                          Focusing on actions/results                                            Focusing on failures
                                          Analytical thinking                                                            Reactive thinking
                                          Act now                                                                             Procrastination
                                          Evaluate with scientific knowledge/tools                     Blindly trust
                                          Making effort and trying new ways                               Accepting “whatever”
                                          Being optimistic and passionate                                    Being pessimistic and negative
                                          It’s my life and doing it for my wellbeing                      Being lazy and careless

Picture

As a metaphor tells the story – A Wiseman tells his grandson: “there are two wolfs in your head always fighting each other; one is a good wolf and another one is bad”.

“Who win?” asked by the boy.

“The one you feed”.

Hope you are feeding the good wolf in your head and wellness prevails.


When you are able to conquer your own negativity, overcome mental blocks, and master your mindset, you will make healthy commitment and on your way to wellness success. With wellness mindset, you will see your true values and fulfilling your potentials. You will make positive changes align with your life goals. You will feel energetic and happy in your life.
