When you think about wellness and work-life balance, what comes to mind? In past decades health, wellness and beauty were perceived to be enjoyed largely by ego-driven narcissists, health club enthusiasts, athletes, and for celebrities in the public eye. Being a “gym rat” took on its own meaning and still does to this day with a slightly different slant, more positive and socially accepted now. Those who watched their calories, ate carefully and intentionally were in the minority, maybe seen as a little extreme in some cases, at least to the mass majority. Wonderful now that the healing power of natural food is growing a bigger audience.
Conforming to others or outer standards for beauty alone isn’t the issue anymore. In recent years, there has been a shift in the world’s attention to healthfulness. Specifically in The United States, obesity and health issues are at an all time high. More people have jumped on the health-kick band-wagon, simply due to a smart shift in cultural health awareness.
Some companies and most health insurance providers recognize the need for preventative as well as restorative health. Work-life balance is an integral work in progress for individuals and companies that value preventative health. Wellness is restored, more highly valued for more people. Once healthy, beauty, fitness, greater work attendance and productivity follow. So, it becomes a “win-win”scenario for all. You feel and look better, you work better and you live longer. What’s not to like? It’s all good.
When planning your wellness program, be sure to include all aspects of healthy living. Your physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual well-being all factor in. One contributes to the success of the other and so on. Stress and time management are key contributors that help you construct an overall healthy lifestyle, as well. When you know you make healthy choices, manage your time, responsibilities, stressors and relationships well; you’re on the right path! Fare well for your own welfare; you deserve to feel good and live your best and most productive life ever, starting now! Get the support you need to live your healthiest life. The time to feel well is now. Live Inspired!® Nina~ www.LiveInspiredwithNina.com
