Wellness is above all, I suppose, being true to your own highest and best nature. If you live as your highest self, how can you be living in any state but wellness?
Some days this is easy. Life has a flow to it, and everything you do seems to work out. Just yesterday, as I walked with friends after brunch, I made a comment that I was ready to receive something that I had been battling with internally for some time. I felt a shift in my willingness to be fully present and authentic in my life in that moment. Not ten minutes later, what I had asked for was offered up to me on a silver platter.
Other days, living well is a real challenge. Those are the days that a moment or two taken out for reflection, meditation, perhaps a spot of journaling, can be particularly enlightening and freeing. The “gremlins” that get inside our inner tape recorders thrive when we listen to them, but they wither when they are confronted with self examination.
Whether you are doing well today or struggling, take a moment out to express gratitude for the experience of life, and ask yourself: Who are you here to be? What is your passion, your purpose, your seat of wellness?
