SPICES for Life
™ Wellness
at its Best
SPICES for
Life © is a comprehensive approach to well being that includes
all the components for creating and maintaining professional and
personal power.
Wellness goes
far beyond the freedom from illness. It emphasizes each
individual’s uniqueness along with the importance of
self-responsibility and a positive attitude for personal well
being.
SPICES
represents the six components of wellness: Social, Physical,
Intellectual, Career, Emotional and Spiritual health and well
being. Each dimension is equally important to living a
well-rounded, successful life. Paying equal attention to each
aspect by developing and balancing them throughout life is
important and results in wholesome living which is stimulating,
productive and vital.
SPICES for
Life workshops provide an introduction to wellness and motivates
people to make appropriate changes for improving health and
well-being.
Additionally,
SPICES for Life can also provide a structure for a well rounded
employee wellness program. Ideally, this format starts with an
introductory session which trains participants on the concepts
and advantages of professional and personal well being and
motivates them to pursue lifestyle improvements. Sessions on
each wellness dimension follow to further understanding and
prompt individual lifestyle changes that are positive in
nature. Each session will help participants:
-
Understand the dynamics and importance of overall wellness
as well as for each dimension of well being
-
Provide a
self assessment to measure personal well being
-
Motivate
participants to identify and undertake lifestyle changes
that meet their individual needs
