How to tell of you are OK? Really OK!!

Hi friends,
A couple of weeks ago it was RUOK day. Did you notice the messages? Did you do anything?
To first check in with yourself honestly, then someone you are concerned about.
Do you know if you are heading for burnout?
Heading for an illness, disease, or cancer?
I discussed the signs in recent blogs. Basically, you will or ‘a friend’ will be constantly fatigued. Not sleeping, drinking, eating, communicating, thinking or performing well!!
Another guide is to set aside time in your happy/calm, place/space to take some slow deep breaths and rate yourself on how you think you are going, then have your partner or close friend rate you against the WHO (World Health Organisations) Domains of Health.
Out of 10 rate yourself or have your friend. How are you going with –
PHYSICAL HEALTH – Sleep? Diet? Exercise? (O-10)?
MENTAL HEALTH – How is your mood generally? (O-10)?
EMOTIONAL HEALTH – How comfortable are you expressing all the emotions? And are you aware of them coming up and able to let them pass through you without reacting to them generally? (O-10)?
SOCIAL HEALTH – Are you getting enough social interaction, friendship to meet your needs? (O-10)?
SPIRITUAL HEALTH – Connecting with a higher source. Not just God and a church, but connecting to your spirit and nature? (O-10)?
We should be aiming for an 8 every day, says a popular UK Psychologist.
Then if less, he asks us what is one thing we can do to raise that by one or more…
Love to hear how you or ‘your friend’ is going and what helps you recharge or just feel better?

With love Derek

6 个月I studied Business Psychology last year, and one of the Units was on sleep alone! I was blown away at how important sleep is for leaders and business owners - and everyone for that matter. As someone who has struggled to sleep my whole life, I have now placed much more value on this area. Thank you for sharing Derek Rogers - your work is highlighting the important stuff to help us be live a more sustainable, joyfilled life/work life.

6 个月That's a really great score chart Derek. I guess it will give you a snapshot of where you are at but if you check in with yourself consistently, you may see patterns arise that you can address. After all, we want to live a long, happy but most of all healthy life.

6 个月A good way to do a full check up and rate all 5, as some of us might be focused on 2 or 3 but might be leaving the others behind.
