Balance

I believe that balance is an important element of wellness.  I like this visual because it is simple and I also believe that simplicity is an important element of wellness.  I have seen wellness wheels with upwards of 10-15 pieces of pie.  I think that over complicates matters.  These are the big three, in my opinion.  I like the visual reminder, it serves as a cue to help me "check in" with myself and see how I am doing.  Often, when I am feeling stressed out, it is because I have neglected one or more of these areas of wellness.  I encourage you to slow down and think about what you need in each of these areas and evaluate how you are doing.  Is there room for improvement?  What's one small step you could take to increase your sense of well being?
