Problem
To recognize our own health status, we often have to remind ourselves that we are more than just our physical bodies. In reality, we are an integration of many parts: mind, body, spirit, emotion, society and environment. Here are some questions to ponder as you explore your own health philosophy, values, and beliefs.
a) What is your definition of health? What is your definition of wellness?
b) Do you believe that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts? Why or why not?
c) List 4 factors you believe positively or negatively influence your ability or inability to lead a healthy lifestyle.
d) Can you feel when you are balanced? If so, how do you know it? If not, how do you know when you are unhealthy?
