Universal 360° focuses on the 7 Wellness dimensions
A healthy body equals a healthy mind. Don’t yawn, this is not just about losing weight, although dropping a jeans size or two may well fall into your Physical Wellness Plan.
Essentially, we’re gearing you towards all the things that health guru’s on planet earth tell you to do – eating healthily, doing regular exercise, performing regular hygiene routines and getting enough sleep. The difference is that we are offering you the infrastructural support that you need in order to get it all together.
Simply put, this is your Social, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual wellness.
The interaction that you have with your friends, family and colleagues is a vital part of your life. It takes two to tango and it is important that one works on both the giving and receiving that takes place in relationships.
This is all the mushy stuff about feelings. The way we feel is really important – anyone who’s ever had a bad-hair day will know this, and that’s everyone!
By learning about your emotions you can understand why you behave the way you do and improve your EQ (it’s like IQ but with emotions). Learning how to handle your emotions helps you to achieve balance in life – big time!
You’ve probably noticed by now that we’re really into learning and this is the core of Mental Wellness – life-long learning means that you continuously grow yourself in terms of your knowledge, open-mindedness and capabilities.
Spiritual Wellness is not just a bunch of whale-music and incense. It really means that we feel a sense of purpose, meaning and direction in our lives. It’s a personal journey that requires support.
Do you want to leap out of bed every morning, clapping your hands with joy about the day of work ahead? Well if you do, you should know that the secret lies in your attitude and values. Being positive and actively pursuing work that you find meaningful may just lead you to discovering that your “dream-job” was under your nose the whole time.
Environmental Wellness does not just mean getting groovy with Mother Nature. It also means having a conscious relationship with our personal surroundings and taking care of them. An organised, clean environment leads to an uncluttered mind.
We also really love the outdoors, just because there’s so much fun to be had in it, so we think it makes sense to spend time in the natural world and enjoy the fresh air.
