From Wellness to Wellbeing: A Holistic Approach to Enhancing Your Personal and Corporate Health

Once upon a time, there was a significant line separating professional and personal life. After work hours, many of us were able to take the extra time out for our families, hobbies, and most importantly – caring for ourselves.

However, times have changed and many of us have become so busy that we usually sacrifice one part of our life for another.

In fact, the straining work, expenses of the family, and just the overwhelming nature of life have made it impossible for us to concentrate on the factor that holds the most importance – Our Wellness and Wellbeing.

“Wellness encompasses a healthy body, a sound mind, and a tranquil spirit. Enjoy the journey as you

strive for wellness” – Laurette Gagnon Beaulieu

Wellness is not simply about being free from illness. It is also more than just eating right and exercising daily. It is not even a goal that you achieve but rather a lifestyle that one adopts for the overall balance of physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.

Why is personal and professional wellness important?

Wellness is important because it affects many areas of our lives. It is a critical aspect that ensures quality and a happy life. It is the way of living and reflects in the way one addresses the challenges thrown towards them.

In life, there are eight pillars that determine wellness. These include:

· Physical – that includes exercise, good sleep, and proper hygiene

· Nutritional – a balanced diet

· Emotional – understanding your feelings and coping effectively with emotions

· Social – connecting with others for positive interaction

· Spiritual – devoting regular time through meditation and prayers

· Intellectual – taking an active part in learning

· Financial–to ensure financial expenses are managed efficiently

· Environmental – the correlation between the individual and his personal surroundings

Each of these pillars plays an equal part in ensuring optimal wellness and those who wish to reach the state of wellbeing should understand how to maintain and optimize each of these parts.

Optimal health and wellness can be yours!

If given a chance, would you choose better health? Increased energy? Decreased stress? Or improvements in a relationship?

With a holistic wellness approach, you can achieve all your personal and professional goals with minimal resistance.

So what are you waiting for? A new life full of joy and good health awaits. Simply start by strengthening each of the above-mentioned pillars of holistic wellness and remember…balance is the key!

Relationship issues

Relationships are a very meaningful part of our lives, and can bring us a great deal of happiness and fulfilment. Strong connections with our loved ones, friends and work colleagues allow us to be at our healthiest and most productive, and for many these relationships offer an important source of advice, guidance, love and support.

However, fulfilling and supportive relationships don’t come automatically, and they require good social skills and a great deal of time and energy to stay strong and go the distance. Sometimes meaningful connections break down, which can leave people feeling lonely, disappointed and unsure of what to do. In some cases our relationships may not be fulfilling our expectations, which can impact our happiness and life satisfaction. On the other hand, some people may crave close friendships and/or romantic relationships but find them very difficult to come by.

Whatever the relationship issue, there is help available in the form of relationship counselling. In this setting a counsellor will work with couples or individuals to explore their needs and what they want from their relationships, while offering support and advice to help them get their relationship(s) back on track. 

5 Reasons Successful People Need Therapy

Therapy isn't for losers. Successful people need support too.

As a psychotherapist, I see many high achievers in my therapy office. And it's clear that success doesn't provide immunity against depression, emotional issues, relationship troubles, parenting problems, or anxiety disorders.

While high achievers are susceptible to many of the same mental health problems other people experience, they also face some unique challenges of their own. Here are the five most common reasons highly successful people seek therapy:

1. Impostor Syndrome

Although impostor syndrome isn't an official diagnosis that appears in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the persistent feeling of not being good enough can be just as problematic as a diagnosable condition.

People with impostor syndrome feel unworthy of their success. They attribute their success to luck--rather than inherent ability--and they constantly feel like frauds.

People with impostor syndrome often present to a therapist's office for a specific problem, like anxiety or depression. They usually don't want to acknowledge their underlying feelings of inadequacy, even to a therapist.

Impostor syndrome often emerges after a few therapy sessions. Successful treatment brings the person's thinking in-line with the facts about her achievement so she can feel more authentic.

2. The Underlying Reason Behind Their Drive

Successful people are driven. They usually work harder, persevere longer, and bounce back from adversity faster than others.

While some high achievers may be natural go-getters, the drive for achievement sometimes stems from hurt and pain. Someone who grew up feeling as though she's not good enough may find success temporarily helps her feel better. Or someone who felt rejected by his parents may hope high levels of achievement will finally gain him the parental approval he desperately seeks.

Success may temporarily mask heartache, but anguish lurks just beneath the surface. Therapy can help people discover how to heal their past wounds so they can be even more effective as they move forward.

3. Fear of Losing Everything

The more someone has, the more he has to lose. And the fear of losing everything causes some successful people to experience chronic anxiety and fear.

They worry they're just one decision away from ruining everything. Or they fear they'll somehow squander the opportunities they have been given.

Therapy can help successful people learn to give themselves permission to relax and recharge their batteries. And sometimes, therapists help high achievers recognize that their net worth isn't the same as their self-worth. Treatment may also help successful people find healthy ways to cope with anxiety and self-doubt.

4. It's Lonely At the Top

High achievement may ostracize successful people from family members and friends. Additionally, successful people are often placed in high-level management positions where it may be inappropriate to befriend subordinates, leaving them with fewer opportunities to socialize.

Therapists often help successful people address feelings of alienation. Therapy may also encourage finding ways to replace professional networking with casual opportunities to form genuine friendships.

5. Guilt That Stems from Success

While there's a common notion that successful people feel entitled, many of them also feel guilty. In fact, the first thing many high achievers say when entering my therapy office is, "I probably shouldn't be here. There are people with a lot bigger problems who need your time more than I do."

They may also question whether they deserve a new car, or they may feel guilty about going away on a vacation. This can be especially true for individuals who have experienced poverty in the past.

Therapy often focuses on helping people change their self-limiting beliefs so they can live their best lives. Treatment may involve helping high achievers recognize how their success affords them an opportunity to have a bigger impact on the world.

Be Willing to Ask for Help

Talk therapy can address a multitude of problems that may be holding you back. And quite often, just a handful of therapy sessions may be all you need to feel better.

If there's something holding you back or keeping you stuck, contact a therapist or talk to your doctor. Building mental strength could help you reach your greatest potential, even when you're already wildly successful.

Rapidly Remove Unconscious Patterns Sabotaging Your Success

Do You Keep Repeating The Same Patterns?

Do You Want To:

• End self-sabotage, procrastination, and many other negative habits

• Get out of overwhelm, burnout, and become unstuck forever

• Turn every relationship conflict into greater strength and empowerment

• Reclaim all the energy you’ve been wasting on this inner battle

• Unlock your natural wealth and abundance that the shadows are blocking

• Gain the clarity and confidence of purpose being obscured by the shadows

• Activate the self-worth to ask for what you need, have strong boundaries, and go for what you really want without shame, blame, or apology!

• Wake up and walk through your day loving ALL OF YOU (can you imagine the power of that? It’s a game-changer!)

The path to true success and fulfillment is to focus on what you want, ignore what you don’t, push through whatever fear and resistance you feel, and compensate for whatever shortcomings you have…until you reach the goal…right?

WRONG

That’s the path to overwhelm, burnout, and ultimately breakdown. But it’s what most people, at least in the Western World, have been conditioned to believe and do.

And that's why most people either don't have the life of their dreams, don't achieve their most important goals, or even when they do get many of the things they thought they needed, they're still unhappy, sometimes miserably so..

So What's wrong with this picture?

There's a Flaw in How We Think We Grow

You see, like nature, we are not meant to just grow ‘up’ but to also grow ‘down’. We’ve been taught to just reach for the stars, the sky’s the limit, just keep looking up… But if a tree grew that way, it would fail to thrive, if it could even grow at all, and fall over at the first wind. Forget about surviving a storm or drought. No way.

Fortunately, nature doesn’t grow that way. It grows down, digging its roots into the dark soil as deeply as it hopes to lift its branches toward the sun. The deeper the roots, the higher the shoots, and the richer the fruits! Nature also understands that the dark, dank soil is not something to avoid. Even though the soil is made from everything that has died before, nature doesn’t turn it into a tomb, but a womb!

Well, the same principle holds true for your growth. The only way to grow to your full potential, bear rich fruits, and be strong enough to withstand all the weather of life, is to learn how to dig your roots deeply into the soil of your soul and turn that dirt into the dynamic power locked inside it.

Here’s a little known secret about real, lasting growth and success…

The darkness is just the light in potential, just as the dirt is life in potential. Learn how to embrace all of your seeming darkness and you will be unstoppable!

The SHADOW  is the process for doing that

It is a time-tested, proven system for taking all those parts of yourself, your life experience, and everything and everyone that causes you conflict – and turning it into a storehouse of wisdom, genius, talent, and abundance!

I’ve seen people who had tried everything else to heal or succeed begin to work with their shadows and experience rapid, even miraculous breakthroughs and turnarounds – not in months or years but in weeks, days, even minutes.

Ending the War Within

The key is in the power of ending our internal conflict. When we have unconscious shadows, we are ALWAYS in battle with ourselves – they are sucking our energy, burning us out, making us angry, frustrated, depressed…

These unconscious shadows show up as self-sabotage, causing us to procrastinate, holding us back from taking bold actions, and often breaking out as negative, destructive behavior – making us act like the people we hate most!

Then, because we don’t realize what’s happening, we try harder to hold these parts of us down, fix them, heal them, or just get rid of them. But it doesn’t work. IT WILL NEVER WORK.

They are a part of us. They always will be. The problem isn’t that we have them, it’s that we don’t understand them. We judge them, hate them, fear them, are ashamed of them…and that shows up as most of our troubles.

But when we learn how to listen to them, love them, and integrate their power and wisdom again, they stop being our enemies and become our greatest allies – unlocking many of the powers, talents, and opportunities we had been striving for.

I’m telling you, it can be truly miraculous when these shadows are embraced finally.

I show you how to do it, helping you to:

End self-sabotage, procrastination, and many other negative habits

Get out of overwhelm, burnout, and become unstuck forever

Turn every relationship conflict into greater strength and empowerment

Reclaim all the energy you’ve been wasting on this inner battle

Unlock your natural wealth and abundance that the shadows are blocking

Gain the clarity and confidence of purpose being obscured by the shadows

Activate the self-worth to ask for what you need, have strong boundaries, and go for what you really want without shame, blame, or apology!

Wake up and walk through your day loving ALL OF YOU (can you imagine the power of that? It’s a game-changer!)

And so much more… (Really, I’m not just saying that!)

Are you Pushing Your Man Away ??

So you met a man and everything was going great between the two of you. Or so you thought.

Then, quick as lightning, he was out the door.

When it comes to relationships, women and men have unique perspectives. From first date etiquette to when to sleep with their partner, the outlooks are diverse.

However, when a man pulls away from the woman he’s seeing it’s usually for a specific reason.

Here are three HUGE mistakes women make that push men away.

They’re clingy.

If there’s one thing that’ll send any man running it’s a clingy woman. Sure, it’s nice to be affectionate and show him that he’s on your mind, but when you make him your be and end all, he’ll start to feel smothered. When this happens he’ll try to regain his independence by pulling away.

What’s worse is when you make it known that you’re falling for him, too quickly. Since men are looking for fun in the beginning of a relationship, letting him know that you’re already planning your future together will scare him away. Instead of showing your emotions too soon, it’s crucial that you remain calm, cool and collected.

Remember, if a man senses that a woman wants more from him and the relationship than he’s prepared to give, he will pull away.

They’re insecure.

Studies have shown that 97% of women are unhappy with their bodies at least once a day.

However, when it comes to relationships showing your insecurities is never a good idea. Sure, it’s nice to be comfortable enough to talk about your gym routine or the healthy eating kick you’re on with your man, but if you’re asking him “Do these jeans make me look fat” or nagging anytime an attractive woman talks to him, then you’re digging your own relationship grave.

The problem is that once your insecurities start to show there’s no going back. Instead of pushing him away with your self-doubts show him your happy-go-lucky side and he’ll be hooked.

A good tip to follow is to pretend that every date with your man is a first because there’s no way you’d let him see this side of you then. For more ideas on how to boost your self confidence click here and watch this free video presentation from relationship expert Amy North.

They’re unhappy without him.

Just because you’re happy when you’re with him it doesn’t mean that he isn’t catching on to your negativity when he’s not in the room. In fact, if he knows that he’s your sole source of happiness then it’s likely to push him away.

The problem here is this type of situation makes him feel pressured to keep you content, and that’s a huge responsibility for anyone! Instead of relying on him to keep you smiling, make the most of your life. Do the things that you love. When you do, you’ll not only be making yourself happier, but it’ll improve the overall quality of your relationship too.

For a deeper insight on what pushes men away take a moment and watch this free video presentation.

Social Anxiety Tips - 3 Ways To Lower Your Fear

Learning some quick tips and techniques can be the best way to start overcoming your social anxiety. The three main areas to focus on are your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Attacking your social anxiety from these three areas at the same time will have a compounding effect on the results you get. Focus on the ones you have the most difficulty with now, and then move on to the others.

Your thoughts and how you manage them can have a substantial impact. If you have time, look into cognitive behavioral therapy for a complete set of tools on managing your thoughts. If you just want to try some quick techniques out right now, then keep reading this article. One way to lower your anxious thoughts is to accept them. It sound like a contradiction, but it isn't. Once you fully accept yourself, even down to your anxious thoughts, which are a "flaw," then you'll feel a lot less inferior to others. If you have thoughts or feelings of inadequacy or inferiority often, then it usually just comes down to accepting yourself and then working towards a better future at the same time.

Also try thinking a lot less. Most socially anxious people think way too much, which makes them stuck inside their head. If you can slow down your anxious thoughts by switching your focus to the people around you, then you should be able to think a lot less, which will make you less anxious.

If you have social anxiety, then it's normal to feel lonely, sad and depressed. Unfortunately, these are the exact types of emotions that will drive off potential friendships or relationships. People don't like to be around people who are sad and depressed all the time. Instead, you want to be fun and happy a good deal of the time. How do you do this? Try smiling. The simple act of smiling actually releases chemicals in your brain that start to make you feel more happy automatically If you don't believe me, then try it for yourself. How much different do you feel when you are slouched over and looking bored versus sitting up straight with a huge smile on your face?

The last tip I'll show you is the one which may make the most lasting changes to your level of social anxiety. Here it is: face your fears directly. It may sound like impractical advice if you are very socially anxious. In that case, you need to start with small fears and build your way up. Maybe try to make and hold eye contact outside with three people outside today and then move on to bigger fears.
