From your responses, you indicated that the wellness domain where there is the largest discrepancy between where you are and where you would like to be is Creative & Intellectual. Below you will find activities you can start today to assist you in reaching your wellness goal.
We suggest that you start with the right-brain activity. Though it may seem “different” and stretch you out of your typical comfort zone that is generally where true insight can occur.
Wellness Domain: Creative & Intellectual
Right Brain Activity | Ask yourself honestly, what you wanted to be when you were growing up. Not what your parents thought you should be, but what in the quiet of your own room you imagined. Pick one image – possibly from a magazine or online – to represent it. Hang it in a place where you’ll be reminded. Though you may not quit your day job to be a comedian or singer, it is still a part of you and can be expressed. |
Left Brain Activity | Write a specific, and attainable, goal pertaining to your creativity and intellect this week. For example, I will dust off my oil pastels and will devote 20 minutes to simply “play with” the colors. Or, “I’ve been thinking about that continuing education course”; I will call this week and determine what is needed to enroll. |
Affirmation | “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” ~ Pablo Picasso |
