Journey to Wellness

Grant and I have been invited by our bishop, the Rev. Jessica Crist, to join a small group of Montana Synod colleagues on a year long "journey of renewal." It's all about wellness, in every aspect of life. Our church (the ELCA) is placing growing emphasis on healthy leaders - the slogan is "Healthy Leaders Enhance Lives." It's good timing - over the last few months Grant and I have renewed attention of issues of health, and we accepted Bishop Crist's invitation. Please keep us in your prayers as we begin this year-long journey.
One of the tools that we'll be using is The Wholeness Wheel, which has seven components - seven areas of well-being which contribute to a healthy life. Here's what it looks like:

And here are the explanations for each area of well-being:
Emotional well-being: Being emotionally well means feeling the full range of human emotions and expressing them appropriately. Selfawareness is the first step. Recognizing and honoring your own feelings and those of others — stress, contentment, anger, love, sadness, joy, resentment — will help you live life abundantly.
Financial well-being: In all aspects of well-being we are called to be stewards. Good financial stewards make decisions based on their values, which is evident in the way they save, spend and share. This understanding of stewardship embraces resilience, sustainability and generosity.
Intellectual well-being: A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Using our minds keeps them alert and active. Stay curious, ask questions, seek answers. Explore new responsibilities, experience new things and keep an open mind. And remember, knowing when and how to let your mind rest is as important as keeping it active.
Physical well-being: While we are not all born perfectly healthy or able to live life without injury or illness, we can live well with tending and nurturing. Honor your body as a gift from God. Feed it healthy foods, keep it hydrated, build your physical endurance through regular exercise and respect your body’s need for rest.
Social well-being: We were created by God to be social beings, living in community and instructed to help and love each other. Make time to build and maintain social well-being through interaction, play and forgiveness. Take time to nurture your relationships with family, friends, congregation and coworkers.
Spiritual well-being: Living a centered life focused on God affects each aspect of our well-being. Turn to God for strength as you seek to live well in Christ. Nurture your relationship with God through prayer, devotions, worship, nature, art and music. Explore who you are and know whose you are.

Are you more "well" in some of these areas than others? What would help you increase wellness? Who helps you find well-being? What practices help? Leave comments below...
