“A wellness mission statement

provides clarity and gives your journey

a sense of purpose”

Identifying a wellness mission statement ca be one of the most thought provoking and helpful things you can do. It may not be easy, but it will be a valuable addition to your journey.

There are 5 main steps to creating a mission statement:

1. Identify Past Wellness Successes.Think about those times in your life where your health was at its peak or greater than it is now. Write them down and try to identify whether there is a common theme.
2. Identify Core Wellness Values. Develop a list of adjectives that you believe identify who you are and what your priorities are. Narrow your values to six most important values and choose the one value that is most important to you.
3. Identify Wellness Contributions. Make a list of the ways you could make a difference if you regained your wellness, health and vitality whether it be to your family, your friends, yourself or the world around you.
