Well-being<\/strong> is a current popular topic – \u2018trending\u2019, with increasing recognition that personal energy is a finite resource and dis-ease is not a random name but a description of a symptom, a visible sign from our body that all is not well within it.\u00a0 This suggests that we must each develop an awareness for our personal and communal well-being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider the following process:\u00a0 Sensory organs pick up the environment, sends signals to the brain, which transmits these to the heart causing it to respond\u00a0 with appropriate change in it\u2019s pumping function. The heart monitors itself and then transmits messages to the brain to regulate cognitive function. The Heartmath Institute reports,\u00a0 “This limits our ability to think clearly, remember, learn, reason, and make effective decisions. (This helps explain why we may often act impulsively and unwisely when we\u2019re under stress.)”\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Being well<\/strong> at work can be compromised,\u00a0 by the pressure of actual work or the perception of expectations at work, as well as generally in life.\u00a0 Problems often occur when the level of compromise is beyond normal coping mechanisms.\u00a0 Consider a definition of well-being. \u201cWell-being, put simply, is about \u2018how we are doing\u2019 as individuals, communities and as a nation.\u201d Up until now my definition of well-being has been \u201cthe state of good mental and physical health that enables optimal performance and success\u201d.\u00a0 Both describe a state, rather than actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The compound word is not \u2018well-doing<\/strong>\u2019 or \u2018well-having<\/strong>\u2019 but well-being, which suggests that it is about who we are \u2018being\u2019, rather than what we \u2018have\u2019 or \u2018do\u2019. Who we are being is<\/em> about holistic alignment of our actions,\u00a0 possessions and desires to personal values – the principles that are most important to us. If we concern ourselves with actions and acquisitions to generate a being, both must be well chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n

We comprise Body, Mind and Spirit, so let us briefly identify how we keep each well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Body<\/b>:\u00a0 What we eat, drink, our sleep and physical environment usually determine our how well our bodies are.\u00a0 As we mature, it becomes increasingly important that we are uniquely suited to suited to our food, drink, sleep patterns and physical environment.\u00a0 A misalignment would be noticed if we paid attention to our body\u2019s response.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mind<\/b>:\u00a0 Our mind comprises the workings of our brain, heart and gut together to guide our perceptions, processing and actions. The interplay between the sensing and processing in the three centres work best when we give attention to their promptings.\u00a0 When our actions reflect what we think, feel and are inspired to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spirit<\/b>:\u00a0 Our spirit concerns itself with finding meaning in the many circumstances we encounter, finding our calling, and often being involved in something larger than ourselves. Altruism and Charity are positive expressions of our Spirit.\u00a0 It\u2019s very intangible nature relegates the Spirit to the background in a rational world. This makes it no less real.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Knowing\u2019 who you are, \u2018feeling\u2019 who you are, and \u2018doing\u2019 what you are here to do, is a good recipe for being well<\/strong>, for well-being<\/strong>.\u00a0 Discovering a deep understanding of these elements for ourselves, requires an investment. We deserve such an investment because we deserve to be well, even in the midst of the many demands made on us in a fast-paced changing world. Are you prepared to regularly make such investment?\u00a0 No one else will do it for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
