Your wellness strategy

"Your Wellness Strategy" is a wellness program for both individuals and groups that is first and foremost focused on 'results'.

The program's methodology is based on Belief System Heuristics -- meaning, you are in the driver's seat. You investigate, decide and act on the information and processes provided, trusting your 'intuitive wisdom'  as to what is best for you.

Your 'intuitive wisdom' is a process and a resource that is best developed by first studying your belief-system.

What is a "Belief-System"?

Your belief-system is what causes you to think and feel the way you do. Your belief-system will determine whether you’re depressed, happy, sad, excited, or bored.

Your belief-system determines your courage, fears and behaviours.

Control? Do you mean controlling others?

UC: Researching social determinants of health"Control" is used in the sense of Control of Your Life and is achieved paradoxically by NOT trying to control others. Genuine, deep and enlightening 'control' is achieved as much by 'letting go' as any determined, focused, visualisation techniques. It's a balance of two energies -- the masculine assertive and the feminine collaborative. Understanding that balance, and getting the balance right is crucial to your health and wellbeing.

As confirmed by decades of solid research by Sir Prof. Michael Marmot, Prof. Len Syme of the University of California and others, the degree of control you have over your life, or conversely how much other people or circumstances control you, determines how long, or short you live, and how well, or ill you will be.

In our workshops we go into detail as to how family, friends, employers, communities and societies all contribute to the relationships and expectations that play a major role in determining the health and wellbeing of individuals.

It is a glib statement to parrot that "we are all individuals" when so few of us are easily free of the opinions and expectations of, and commitments to others.

A great big elephant

What's real, hugely important to health, but mostly avoided or ignored?

There's a "great big elephant in the room"1 -- a startling, well-verified fact about health and wellbeing that is being avoided, even though it is oh-so obvious.

With the help of decades of solid research we now know that the number one cause for ill-health and early death is ...  NOT obesity, or smoking or bad diet, or bad genes, or any of the other lifestyle factors most think of.

What Sir Prof. Michael Marmot and others have found is that the number one factor in your ill-health is "lack of control over your life." This by far determines the level of your wellbeing and health.

"Autonomy - how much control you have over your life - and the opportunities you have for full social engagement and participation are crucial for health, well-being, and longevity."2
