The 19th Wellness

Transformational Wellness, stylized symbol: Shapeshifting Coyote. I am changeable. 

I am correctable, moldable, pliable, I can correct much of what should be corrected. Often steel determination and focus is called for.  Calm and steady in the pursuit of your goals. 

The person I admire is Dan Millman, author

Instinctual Wellness, stylized symbol: Pink Navel. I am receptive. 

Often our instincts surpass our reasoning in informing us of what we need to know. Consider obeying your instincts unless you have good reason to ignore them, such as addictive behavior, as over indulgence in physical desires perhaps, or an instinct toward  ill will or cruelty.

The person I admire is Laozi, 400 BC, compiler of the Tao Te Ching

 On Wrong Behavior:

From the thought (the impulse)

To the word (the clarified thought)

To the action

To the habit

To the character

To destiny. --Lao Tzu paraphrased

Therapeutic Wellness, stylized symbol: Candy-Stripe Band Aid. I am imperfect.

Sometimes we need more than tender loving care. Sometimes we need to adopt a therapeutic lifestyle.

The person I admire is Forrest Gump.

 The 16th Wellness

Rational Wellness, stylized symbol: Clear Lens. I am reasonable.

Logical, down-to-earth clear-headedness must prevail if we would succeed in the investigation of things to find understanding of the world around us.

The person I admire is Galileo.

 What is our nature? What is the meaning of life?

I believe it is our nature to seek, as is true of the nature of everything in the universe. Just as gravity seeks the center of mass, the tree seeks the sun, the magnet seeks the poles, we seek what we need endlessly. 

I believe the meaning of life is, subjectively, to flourish, but, objectively, to evolve.

 The 15th Wellness

Recreational Wellness, stylized symbol: Fluorescent Pinwheel. I am fun loving.

There is so much to do, so much to learn. Do the moonwalk, learn boxing footwork, tap dance, learn the tango, become a movie critic, go to yoga class and, at the same time, meet wonderful people.

The person I admire is Tina Turner
