RICHSELF PERSONAL WELLNESS PROGRAMME

RICHSELF PERSONAL WELLNESS PROGRAMME – IN 9 ONE HOUR WEBINARS (1st ONE FREE) Based on the book written by Alan and Margot Brews and facilitated by the authors.

What is wellness?

Wellness is not a new concept. The ancient Greeks believed that a truly healthy person “possessed a keen intellect, a well-developed will and a disciplined body”. Their ideal of arête was considered a noble state of human functioning, representing the merging of body, mind, and spirit. Since the 1970s, there has been a keen focus on wellness with many models and programmes emerging to assist people to improve their health and lifestyles. The COVID 19 Pandemic has brought issues of self-care and wellness into sharp focus in many people’s lives.

Wellness is defined as “an active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a more successful existence” where:

• process means that we never arrive at a point where there is no possibility of improvement,
• aware means that we are continuously seeking more information about how we can improve,
• choices mean that we consider a variety of options and select those that seem to be in our best interest, and
• success is determined by each individual to be their personal collection of accomplishments for their life.

The eight dimensions of Wellness covered in the RICHSELF programme are illustrated in the diagram below:

There are 5 core aspects of Wellness:

• Wellness is about making conscious choices toward the development of a proactive and positive lifestyle assuming self-responsibility for one’s development.
• Wellness implies a continuous process stretching across one’s lifespan.
• Wellness is not prescriptive or judgemental. Goals for personal wellness are defined by the individual and not measured against any external standard.
• Wellness refers to well-being in all spheres of life. Challenges in one dimension of life affects the whole of our lives.
• Wellness is not concerned with the absence of symptoms or disease. It’s about maximisation of potential and is therefore different for each individual.
