Making a Personal Wellness Plan
A written life plan is as necessary to your life as a written plan for any project of importance. Would you attempt a big project without a written plan? Hopefully not. A life plan can be quite simple and we know that only simple and easy plans tend to work for most people when complicated and difficult plans fail.
A written life plan can be as simple as answering the following questions for yourself:
Who Am I?
- Words the describe me
- My values
- My favorite things
- What am I grateful for
- How productive am I
- How do I treat people
- Who cares about me (people who would loan you $100 without question)
- My pet peeves (things I don’t like)
- Who am I indebted to and what do I owe
- How much money do I have
My Desires
- Aspects about myself and/or things I think I want--that I don’t yet have
My Intentions
(intentions are similar to goals but they only what I am truly willing to do starting right now)
- How will I eat
- How will I move
- How productive will I be
- Who would I like to know
- How do I use my time
- What am I seeking professionally
- What I want to be known for (my legacy)
What is my Personal Mission
A personal mission statement may be desirable after some time, as it can be a simple statement that defines your core objective can be good to develop.
What is a good life plan?
A good plan can help remind us what’s most important to move closer to an ideal state of health in in the face of total uncertainty, hardship and difficulty.
