Sign up for a Wellbeing Assessment and get back in the drivers seat of your life today.
This Wellbeing Assessment is a magnifying glass over your life as it is, and a safe space to explore where you really want life to be. The session is rounded off with the opportunity to co-create SMART framed wellbeing boosting goals that compliment your present and future lifestyle intentions.
One of the first steps is to share the wellbeing framework with you, which is a recommended framework and used in various spaces across the UK and beyond. It is called The Five Ways to Wellbeing, and during the assessment we will pause at each of the five ways to explore whatever comes up for you.
The Deep Dive is ninety minutes long, includes an overview of the Five Ways, a supportive self assessment out of ten for each part of the five ways that looks at right now, and finds what to work towards. This is then wrapped up with the collaborative creation of two SMART informed goals for each of the Five Ways to Wellbeing. Then you end up with a total of ten personally aligned wellbeing actions that you can begin implementing immediately. You will also receive the document that we complete during the assessment. It includes two clearly outlined SMART informed goals for each of the Five Ways to Wellbeing, which means it’s possible to end up having reflected on now, got intentional about the future and formed ten wanted, meaningful, happiness boosting tangible actions that if adopted will change life hugely, and for the better.
If you want to nail down a comprehensive set of up to 25 SMART goals which allow a choice of wellbeing boosting activities that are strategically planned and fit in with your lifestyle, then booking Wellbeing Activity Planning Session might be a good fit for you too.
What is amazing here, is that the results of the Wellbeing Assessment can be used for personal life, to improve life as an individual, within a couple or family setting, AND it can be used for professional benefit too.
Imagine making wellbeing a priority and adopting useful habits and activities which then improve focus, productivity and sleep as well as reducing anxiety, procrastination and doubt.
Imagine finding out how to nurture more opportunities for meaningful activities, that take away the sense of emptiness that can plague some professionals once they get to a certain point in life.
One of the five ways is to have meaningful connections – and interestingly, this is a zone that is often rated quite low when people are assessing their present state. We then explore what the zone of having meaningful connections looks like in reality, in daily life. Clients often share that they have friends that they would like to see, however personal life, professional commitments, financial constraints and their friends own restrictions linked to similar factors can get in the way of regular quality time being spent together, even spending time over the phone can be a struggle.
Whether having quality, meaningful connections is easy for us or hard, the fact is that it is beneficial to have some. So, action needs to consistently take place in this zone if we want to give ourselves the opportunity to increase our sense of life happiness.
Some people admit that friendships and connections that they once enjoyed a closeness with have drifted apart, and express a desire to be intentional about making time to rekindle the friendship. Others share that they realise that they want to build new meaningful connections, by getting out to events, classes or social clubs online, or in their local community by committing to a hobby or through other means.
One beneficial approach is to make sure that the event or activity is genuinely wanted… an easy way to fail at adopting a new habit is to choose one that we don’t actually want to have. Choose carefully.
Another aspect of the five ways to wellbeing is to take notice or slow down. These days, when our minds are buzzing with to do lists, work ideas, emotional memories, thoughts of actions to take and decisions to make, it can hinder our ability to slow down and notice our environment.
When we walk through a park, do we look at the park or are we glazed over, functioning enough but focusing on getting from A to B? What would it take to notice the hedges or flower beds? How likely is it that we are conscious enough of what we are seeing, to spot a worm or a snail? Taking the time to become familiar with our surroundings can give us a sense of grounding, peace and reduce our stress because of building meaning and personal connection to our environment.
