  1. Reality of U.S. Healthcare costs – spending more, poorer outcomes and limited access. Higher self-reported wellbeing associated with fewer hospitalizations, ER visits and medications (Population Health Management 2012). 30 years of Gallop Polls in 150 countries – sample of 98% of the population. Only 7% are thriving in all of their identified areas (which are univesral across nationalities, faiths and cultures): Love for what we do (Purpose), Relationship, Security of finances, Vibrancy of Physical Health, Pride in what we have contributed to community.

  13. Wellbeing is not just another word for physical health—it is about finding balance in body, mind, and spirit. In this state, we feel content, connected, energized, resilient, and safe. Wellbeing is possible even in the midst of chronic or life-threatening illness, with maturing bodies and minds that struggle with dementia. It’s about addressing the whole person where they are and increasing capacity within that person’s limits.   Our model of wellbeing was created by Dr. Mary Jo Kreitzer, Director of the Center for Spirituality and Healing, at the University of Minnesota.  In her extensive work and research around integrative health and healing, Dr. Kreitzer identified six dimensions that contribute to wellbeing.These take into account our interconnectedness and interdependence with our friends, families, and communities, as well as the personal and global environment we live in. They also address the importance of security and purpose in our lives.  The model can be conceptualized and expressed at many levels—including the individual, family, organization/system, and community.
  14. Health is affected by the food we eat, how often we exercise, how we manage our stress, and how much we sleep, as well as social, environmental, and genetic influences. Lifestyle choices are responsible for nearly 90% of health outcomes. Physical Activity: Don’t just sit there—move your body to prevent and reduce the risk of many diseases, improve physical and emotional health, and live a longer life. Note: Matthew Sanford – physical health does not equal wellbeing. Diet: Your food choices have a bigger effect than you think. Nutritious meals and mindful eating can foster your own wellbeing and have a positive impact on your environment and the people around you. Sleep: Don’t underestimate the importance of sleep, which has far-reaching effects on your mood, ability to concentrate, connections to others, and even your weight. Thoughts & Emotions: Learn to recognize how your thoughts and emotions make a difference —in your physical and mental health, relationships, and overall wellbeing—and how to cultivate a more positive outlook. Stress Mastery: Feeling overwhelmed? Learning to recognize your stressors can help you control how you respond to them, leading to a more relaxed, healthier life.

  16. Purpose guides life decisions, influences behavior, shapes goals, offers a sense of direction, and creates meaning. Purpose is directly related to both health and happiness, and it has a major impact on our wellbeing. Purpose can be different from a job or career and in an older population needs to be redefined. Retirement with no purpose leads to death. Life Purpose: Why do you get up in the morning? Knowing your own answers to this question can help you live a more engaged, fulfilled life. Spirituality: Experiencing a connection to something larger than yourself can offer a sense of meaning in life and provide comfort to help you cope with life’s challenges.

  20. Healthy relationships are a vital component of overall health. We humans are social animals and as such, we have an innate need to be involved with other people. Strong family ties and friendships can increase our sense of security and self-esteem and provide a psychological buffer against stress, anxiety, and depression. Health risks of being alone or isolated are compatible with the risks associated with smoking, high blood pressure and obesity. Our larger social networks can also provide a sense of connection where people can share their concerns and support others. We cover these broader social connections in the Community section.

  22. So what do we mean by community?    In our wellbeing model, we are talking about societal groups that live in a defined geographical area and share physical and governmental resources.

  25. Think of the environment as concentric rings starting with your home and workplace and widening out to your neighborhood, your region, the entire planet.  At each level, environmental factors impact human health.  At each level, we impact the environment with our choices and actions. This not only includes the quality of the air and water, but also the quality of our relationship with nature.  Personal Environment: Environment free of toxins. The air you breathe, the water you drink, and even the noise levels in your personal spaces all impact your health in an immediate way. Nature and Us: Access to nature – biophilia. In addition to meeting some of our most basic needs, nature relaxes, refreshes, and heals us. In turn, we need to work to heal nature. Global Environment: Almost every choice you make affects the environment on some level. Working to create a sustainable lifestyle benefits the whole planet.
