In Part #1, I covered the importance of living with balance caring for PHYSICAL and SOCIAL Wellness. Part #2 I focused on FINANCIAL AND INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS. Part #3 I covered ENVIRONMENTAL and EMOTIONAL WELLNESS. Today, I will dive into Career and Spiritual categories.

To recap…HOW DOES THE WELLNESS WHEEL WORK?

The idea of a WELLNESS WHEEL is simple; balance the different areas of your life, and you'll start to find that your life will improve. Your life will become more balanced. You will experience fewer big "swings", fewer and fewer "highs and lows".

It's a little more complex than that, but ultimately once you have each of the Wellness Wheel elements balanced, you will see a shift. It's about living life to its fullest and maintaining continuous, positive activity to keep us healthy and happy.

The fact is, you are where you are in your life, because of choices YOU have made. It's not your parent's fault, your siblings, a friend's, or even your spouse's fault, it's all on you. You choose your feelings, you are in charge of your thoughts.

Yes, some of these decisions have indeed been forced on you. It's true, that there are things that have happened TO you, things that were out of your control. That is simply a fact of life.

But where do you want to be in the future? What decisions can you make now that will improve your health and well-being? This is how the Wellness Wheel can help. The wheel encourages you to reflect on your life and your decisions, relating to the categories in each of the separate categories.

You then set goals for yourself, each designed to bring about a balance. Remember; all of these different aspects are a part of you, part of your life. They may seem disconnected, but they all begin and end with you. And your happiness depends on them being balanced.

Always remember YOU ARE THE CENTER OF THE WELLNESS WHEEL!

You must commit to working on yourself my friends!

There are 8 areas of our lives that when in balance, we find a blissful place of Peace.

The eight areas are; Physical * Social * Financial * Intellectual * Environmental * Emotional * Career * Spiritual

If you pause and think about what keeps you up at night, undeniably the nighttime struggle is because one of the areas of the Wellness Wheel is out of balance.

If we are honest with ourselves, most of us have more than one area causing life to go off of the rails preventing balance and Peace.

The two categories I am going to talk about today are CAREER and SPIRITUAL.

We have all heard the saying "You can't believe everything your read" insert Social Media, or "You can't believe everything you hear". The truth is, YOU CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK!

Why are we so hard on ourselves? What will it accomplish?

Friends we have got to stop whipping ourselves with shame and unbelief. Self-loathing and self-anger are destructive patterns that lead to guilt and self-judgment. This HAS TO STOP! It does not serve you or anyone else in your life.

It is time for you to start believing what is possible in your life. It's time for YOU to decide what is possible for you.

Let me ask you this, what do YOU think is possible for your life right now? Pause for just a moment and think about this. Be honest with yourself. How did you come to that reality? How did the life you are living today become your reality?

First of all, you are where you are because of the choices you made. But why did you make the choices you have made? Did you decide or did you allow someone to influence you? Did you choose or were you conditioned? Are you going through the motions simply to keep peace in your family? Are you living to please others while sacrificing your dreams and desires for your life?

Many people are choosing a limited life because of how they have been conditioned. An example is this; when I was growing up, it was drilled into me that a person will never be successful and live an abundant life of financial freedom if you don't have a college degree. For years I felt my career would be limited because I do not have a college degree and I can tell you that could not be further from the truth! Take a listen and enjoy!

All of us started out whole, we were not born with insecurities, low self esteem and self sabotaging. Do you remember when you were a little girl and you had a vivacious spirit? You were fearless.

What happened? We were not on the same road, but we ended up in the same place, sitting in silence and shame, filled with self doubt, fear and anxiety.

Somewhere along our journey our spirit was crushed, broken into 1000 pieces. Innocence was stolen, hearts broken, lives forever changed. We became the objects of others. We became inferior to other girls, we worried about fitting in. We worried about being laughed at, or having a date for the prom. Why does your worth come from whether or not we have a date for the prom? Since when do we need to look outside of ourselves for validation and worth? How did that happen? Why aren't you enough?

It's time to have a life review and reset how you feel about yourself and your past. It's time to Free Yourself from the past and change the relationship you have with yourself.

Women's Leadership Summit Speaker Lori Griffin is my guest today! Lori will talk about living your dream, thriving not just surviving.

You will NOT be the same after hearing this interview!

When your life is raining down lemons, what do you do? You make LEMONADE! In this episode I talk about pivoting, finding the silver lining and moving on with the things you can't control. Recently, I had to make the decision to change the Flourish Women's Leadership Summit to a Virtual Event. A heartbreaking decision, but it is one I had to make. The silver lining-more women can attend at a much lower price! Take a listen and learn more about this event and what I will be teaching.

Today's Podcast is one that everyone listening will be able to learn from and walk away with a new perspective. Have you ever experienced someone who is hateful and mean spirited? Have you ever wondered why some people are so very cruel and ugly with their words and thoughts? I know I have and I am sure you have too. I want to share with you the importance of guarding what you allow to take up camp in your heart. Do you know that whatever is on the inside (whatever fills your heart) eventually spills to the outside. So basically if your heart is filled with hate or resentment, that is what you will put out into the world. And oftentimes doing damage to the people we love the most. Here are 4 emotions to watch for: Guilt, Anger, Greed and Jealousy.
