WELLNESS - A DAY-TO-DAY JOB

FWR Says:  Family Wellness - Just Do It!

What’s the most important thing? Answer: our wellness. OK, what’s even more important? The wellness of our children and grandchildren. So what is holding us back?

A person who wants to be a doctor, prepares by college, study, practice and then doing it. He/she actually learns medicine from the daily practice of seeing patients and keeping up to date.

A person who wants to be a plumber must go to school, become an apprentice and if all goes well, he becomes an experienced plumber as he continuously does the job. There is no better teacher than experience.

If it is true for doctors and for plumbers why isn’t it true for parents? We are not trained. We start practice on our first kid. Here we are doing the most important job with no preparation.

Why are we being so dumb? One, there is no training available. Two, our community professionals have little wellness experience. Three, we are too busy. We all know people who endanger their health by being too busy. That is dumb. We are endangering our family’s wellness if we concentrate on some single approach to wellness using one product, one activity or one family saying.

Fortunately, help is on the way. One way is the Family Wellness Rainbow that lays out the essentials of wellness and shows how a goal can start the growth process. For details please see: www.familywellnesscybermall.org
