Wheels of Wellness (WoW)

Human intelligence or Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is a well-known cognitive process and is practice for many decades. This helps every human to learn, recognise patterns, provides ability to formulate solutions, understanding and communication through various languages. This also enables us to experience and think and act. Intelligence quotient is well developed over time and used often to measure the potential ability of individuals. High IQ means a potential higher capability to learn and provide solutions quickly.

Over a period of time, Emotional Quotient (EQ) has gained momentum and said to be a better and practical way of knowing an individual’s effectiveness in managing their self-emotions as well emotions of others. The person with high EQ means that individual is self-aware, self-regulated, motivated, maintains empathy and has requisite social skills to conduct well in society. In 1995, Daniel Goleman, an American Psychologist has written a bestselling book “Emotional Intelligence”, where he has emphasized that EQ matters more over IQ.

Keeping up with the rapid industrialization, humans have experienced and learnt to keep a sharp focus on future. Everyone is competing every day, approach to life is changing very fast. Produce more with less and even less is the new norm. In this fast paced journey, our life essentials are taking a beating and society is witnessing multitude of stress and anxiety issues. This has brought up the new & essential focus to human being – Health & Wellness.

Let us consider the key dimensions of our life-

Upbringing

Once we become adults and get married, we all wish to have kids. We also wish that our kids do well in their life. For the kids to grow up and do well, it is essential that they learn all required educations, professional skills and more importantly life skills to be successful in their life. Actions and Behaviour of parents impact their kids learning rather than good schooling or preaching.

Relationships

Relationship can also be read as RELATION+SHIP i.e. you are said to have large ship if you have many relations and you are sailing on a small ship if you maintain/ carry a small set of relations. Now the question – whether large ship is better or small one is sufficient? You can keep a ship that you can afford, so it doesn’t matter if you small network or large network. All the relationship should be an asset rather than becoming liability and taxing on you.

Health

Our health is very important as we execute and deliver or challenges and responsibilities of routine life. Compromising health for any gain is a myopic way of living balanced life. A good diet and positive thinking are essential ingredients of healthy life.

Wealth

Wealth is very important aspect of human life. However, we grow with negative views on rich people, richness while wishing to earn the wealth as much as possible and as soon as possible. Neurological alignment to wealth makes it easy for getting desired wealth. It’s important to understand that wealth in itself not negative but its misuse can bring negative impacts in life. There are many ways that wealth can be used for self-growth as well as betterment of the society. It’s critical that we earn wealth through ecological means only.

Career/ Business

We feel happy when we are doing good with our chosen profession. Performance issues, non-achievements bring bitterness in life and must be avoided at the earliest opportunity. Key to success is to work for your passion, your choice, your very own likings. If you choose to work for something under pressure or compulsion, it’s not going to give any satisfaction and real achievement and hence causing pain.

Self

Last but not the least, your self-development, self-care, is key to achieving the sustainable wellness in your life. Remember, one can’t drink tea from an empty cup. You need to healthy, happy, wealthy to be able to help others. It’s important to put your own oxygen mask before helping others. Process to help others should be the same way as doctors help their patients. Doctors always prescribe the course of medicines rather than owning the problem themselves. Similarly, you need to help others in a way that they are empowered to help themselves going forward rather than always looking for you. It’s essential that you always keep your physical as well as mental health as first priority.

Our life is a vehicle and these 6 key dimensions are wheels of our life and very well called wheels of wellness (WoW) as our life moves smoothly if they are properly balanced and aligned. These wheels require scheduled re-alignment to give a long life as well as smooth ride. Above mentioned 6 dimensions can’t be captured well through the IQ test or EQ test and it requires a comprehensive wellness profile test. One can find their individual WoW score, Wellness Quotient (WQ) and detailed Wellness Profile by visiting https://wellnessav.com/wellnessquotient . 

Comprehensive Wellness is combination of Physical and Mental wellness. Physical wellness can be achieved through balanced & healthy diet, regular exercise, regular sleep schedule. One must follow a consistent & disciplined daily routine for living healthy life. Mental wellness requires reprogramming of mind, yoga-pranayama as well as positive thinking. Your thoughts are generated based on the environment that live in, news & views that you follow and your beliefs. One incident can have a positive side as well negative side. It’s up to you and you get what you focus on. It is rightly said that – you are not because what happened with you but it’s because what you derived from what happened to you. It’s clear through medical research that faulty thinking pattern causes most of the physical issues that we try to treat through medicines and those issues are famously known as Psychosomatic or auto immune diseases.

Regular Counselling through qualified and experienced counselling psychologists can help individuals to correct any faulty thinking patterns and their impacts and avoid them from getting into physical illness and help them enjoy a WoW Life. Keep in Touch.
