The 29th Wellness

Sleep, whose stylized symbol is Fluffy Sheep. I am rested

I use established routines to encourage sleep

The day is loosely divided into three equal segments, waxing, waning and sleep. On rising, the first eight hours, waxing, are my highest energy hours, hours of rising activity. The next eight hours are spent in a winding-down mode, dropping my pace, gradually lowering activity, the last four hours being devoted to preparation for sleep. Those hours could be spent preparing for the next day. The last two, in which the lights are lowered, are spiritual, almost an exercise in moving meditation. 

The last eight hours are devoted to sleep.

The character I admire is Rip Van Winkle

Resilience, whose stylized symbol is: Rubber Band. I am durable.

I snap back from trouble. I take precautions to safeguard my immune system, to retain bone and muscle strength, and generally to live a healthy lifestyle. 

The character I admire is Roadrunner who keeps coming back

 The 27th Wellness

Intentional Wellness, stylized symbol: Smoky Horse Blinders. I am single minded. 

Sometimes a temporary suspension of regular wholesome routine is needed. Urgencies or some projects like cleaning house for company or travel, or finishing tax returns on time. Or big jobs like painting a room. These occasions require full steam ahead. Like a dog with a bone, one does not let go until it's finished.

The person I admire is Albert Einstein

 The 26th Wellness

Perceptual Wellness, stylized symbol: Half-Full Glass. I am optimistic.

I am biased toward the positive not only because it is pleasanter for ourselves and those around us to be cheerful, but also as a tool to combat the lowering of the black cloud of depression.

The person I admire is Pollyanna

 The 25th Wellness

Psychological Wellness, whose stylized symbol is Vivid Inkblot. I am good.

I am one, an individual. There are many but only I belong to me. I seek to understand and to be good. 

I know who I am: my identity is Person, who I distinguish from a beast, then woman. My class is Labor, and my past and that of my family define me. My responsibility is to be what my elders expected of me. My love is my family, my joy is the arts, my passion is my work which is the pursuit of the good life for myself and others, my nature is reclusive. I know my place on the Totem Pole of life and I am proud and satisfied with it. I will have no other. And I am easy with my role among the masses, which is that of a productive member, not in a slavish way, but in a way in which I am talented and, above all, competent and which is fulfilling for me. 

I do no harm --all else is detail. Let it be so.

The person I admire is Carl Jung

** I'm okay, you're okay. **

 The 24th Wellness

Transitional Wellness, stylized symbol: Spangled Acrobat. I am versatile.

I move easily from focus to focus, nimbly laying aside one project and picking up another, an attribute essential to productivity. 

My nemesis is obsessional thought. If there is a problem, a five-minute break may help to free the mind.

The person I admire is Nero Wolfe
