What is Holistic Wealth & Wellness?
Over the past several years, I have undergone significant life transformations - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, professionally, and financially. It has been quite an adventure. During that time, I have been doing a lot of reflection and research. I have learned a lot, and I am ready and able to share so much of what I have learned.
It is 2023. Have you noticed that the entire planet is quite literally amid burnout?
For those of us that live in a world of capitalism, the pull to be driven and productive is ever present. Since the Industrial Revolution, Western cultures and economic systems have primarily focused on profits and productivity. Process excellence is now looked upon more as an outcome instead of an enabler to better results; Productivity has become a measure of performance; Efficiency gets confused with proficiency; Sufficiency is no longer sufficient.
The idea of “wealth” has become so narrow in our culture. When folks talk about building wealth, they typically refer to financial wealth. Yet, many of us know deep in our bones and in our souls that this is not our holistic definition of wealth. There is so much more to being a wealthy humxn. Occasionally in Western cultures, one might hear the phrase “health equals wealth,” but the idea is often met with cynicism. There is also a saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” but how many of us feel like we have the time or money for an ounce of prevention?
Busyness has become a currency and a proxy for worthiness and value. Like so many others, my pursuit of worthiness and value ultimately made me so busy that I burnt out. Upon reflection, I must admit I contributed to the problem and hope to become part of the transformation. I fundamentally believe that holistic wellness leads to holistic success.
I no longer agree that keeping busy is the primary way to make impact. I now understand that building a profoundly impactful, financially wealthy, and holistically successful life can happen with a more holistic approach that does not diminish health and wellness.
Holistic Wealth & Wellness prevails when humxns and organizations do the work to bring clarity and alignment across their vision, intention, strategy, and actions.
In this fast-paced world, I believe we need more stewards of careful curation. I now help people and organizations to re(de)fine wealth and wellness - holistically and practically - to create more harmony across work and life. Once this harmony is created, they can Be Well, Do Well, and Do More Good.
