Four Essential Categories for Vital Wellness

What is Wellness?

In its most basic meaning, it is a state of good health. Good health includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Let’s look deeper into each of these areas and assess whether or not you could use a wellness boost.

These categories aren’t actually separate. Our thoughts link to our emotional health, and our emotions link back to our thoughts, etc. But, to keep it simple let’s break it down and explore wellness categories.

So many retreats offer some pampering and a little time off, and that’s great, but often the results are temporary. People consider our healing retreats in Arizona the best for improving your health. This is because they take a holistic approach and address all aspects of our well-being.

Mental Wellness

Mental health is when someone can handle life’s stress and use their abilities effectively. Do you have a lot of persistent negative thoughts? How do you deal with these?

Do you avoid any stress because of your inability to cope? Do you criticize yourself and others? Have you been unable to actualize your talents and focus your energies in a way that serves you and others? These are signs you need a mental wellness boost.

Suggested Session:

• Stress Reduction Tools – 90 min.

Learn to break through old ways of thinking, old belief patterns, and operations. With new techniques for reducing stress in your life, you find balance and serenity. This session helps you break through the anxiety of stressful moments in order to lead your own life rather than it leading you! Tools may include meditation, sound, mantras, visualization, essential oil and more. Other tools may require you to let go of the need to control, or to forgive someone, or to allow things to be as they are and develop trust that you will be taken care of and all shall pass. 

Physical Wellness

Physical wellness means you have the energy to get through your day. You don’t experience a lot of chronic pain or other ongoing ailments. You exercise to the best of your ability, eat well, and sleep well. You feel calm energy radiating out from your center most of the day.

You remain “in your heart” even when stressed and don’t shut down or get extremely tense. You don’t stuff your emotions with bad habits like eating junk or overeating. You have habits that are supportive of your health and that light you up.

Super Foods contain valuable antioxidants that work to repair damaged cells. It is essential to incorporate powerful nutrients that keep you healthy and well. This session explores different types of super foods and devises a plan to incorporate them into your busy life! Leave with a wonderful knowledge of how to stay nourished and satisfied.

Emotional Wellness

Emotional health is being aware of your feelings, not blaming others for them, and being strong, forgiving, and caring. We courageously address old hurts and wounds instead of allowing them to fester or remain blocked.

You are willing to open your heart to others and the world. You can give and receive love, and you possess and actively develop empathy for yourself and others. If you need emotional healing, you may experience feelings of emptiness, sadness, and being stuck. You may also have constant negative thoughts and feel a heaviness in your chest.

Additionally, you may struggle to feel joy or pleasure. You may project your sadness onto others and feel lost as to your truth. 

Suggested Session:

• Stopping Cycles of Self-Sabotage – 90 min.

This session is about the tricky and cunning effects and dynamics of self-sabotage. Identify parts of yourself that cannot validate how deserving and blessed you are. Whether you know it or not, due to past hurts and unhealthy messages, you may be constantly sabotaging yourself. Learn how to set boundaries for healthy living and lifestyle. This session helps you evaluate the ways you sabatage your health wellness plan.

Spiritual Wellness & Health

Spiritual Wellness means that your actions have a purpose. You know that everything you do, say, think, and feel should match your personal values. Do you know your values?

What is most important to you? If this were your last day alive what would you regret spending time on? What matters most?

Do your daily actions reflect this? The answers to these questions are deeply personal.

For many, these “big” questions come from a higher power but need not be. What matters is that the wellness you’ve worked toward in all other areas of your life are in service to something or someone. Otherwise, meaninglessness, apathy, and lack of motivation can occur. Putting a priority on your health and how you take care of your body, keeps you aligned so that your spiritual health will not suffer.
