Takeaway 1/2 : “In a friendly tone” Takeaway 2/2 : “In a friendly tone”

Chapter 13 Section 1, Verse 7, Paraphrase (Bear with me I am learning this stuff): “Don’t build up your mind and be filled with worry and anxiety. Try to save your mind.”  Vine says this is Jesus saying put down any thoughts that you have in your head – don’t think too much about it because in the end it leads to anxiety. He also says we should try not to worry about things as they will always change – so don’t think about them or do anything to get anxious. Don’t make yourself anxious but instead try to remain still in order to avoid being anxious. So what would Jesus say? Well if he were alive today he would say “Put down all your thoughts.” Put down all of your thoughts . And stay calm . Put down all those worries . When you are burdened by worries – like most people are – these are problems that keep coming back over and over again.” Section 14, Verse 21 Paraphrase (again I am learning this stuff): The world has been turned upside down for you since my word has come into being; therefore let those who want to live in the world adapt themselves thereto — those who want the present age and its ways of living — but do not live according as they please; rather let them die in their sins! For when Adam sinned, he was said to have become mortal , because through his transgression death came into the world ; but afterwards when sinning was done away , death also was done away . Therefore whoever is born

Let’s start with a quick primer on the idea of wellness.

• What is wellness?

Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It’s not only about your health but also about how you feel about yourself, your relationships with others and the world around you. Achieving this state involves incorporating all five dimensions into your life: physical health; mental health; spiritual well-being; social connectedness (or community) and environmental sustainability.

• Why is it important?

Wellness has been linked to many positive outcomes such as improved physical ability to do more physically demanding tasks; higher levels of self-esteem as measured by validated surveys that measure participants’ level of self-worth based on factors like happiness or optimism versus depression or hopelessness; lower rates of disease incidence among adults aged 19-64 years old over time compared with those who do not have good quality sleep (i.e., less than 7 hours per night).

Physical

Physical wellness is the ability to move and perform basic activities. It includes your physical health, as well as your mental and emotional state. Physical wellness can help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer and stroke. It also helps manage stress by helping you sleep better or work out more often if necessary.

Physical activity is one key way to stay physically active throughout life—and it’s easy! You just need to get up off the couch once in awhile (or three times a day) for 20 minutes at a time every single day for an entire month without fail! After a month of consistently getting up from sitting down on an average basis once per week (e.g., doing homework assignments), you will have increased stamina while performing daily tasks such as cleaning house or cooking dinner without feeling like too much work has been accomplished; this leads me into my next point…

Social

Social wellness is about having a sense of belonging and connectedness. It’s about being able to communicate with others, whether online or in real life, and making sure that you’re able to stay active socially. Social wellness also means being able to enjoy the company of your friends and family members as well as feeling like they belong together.

Social wellness can be achieved through various activities such as going out on the town with friends or finding new hobbies that you can share with them (e.g., playing sports).

Spiritual

Spiritual well-being is a dimension of wellness that can be difficult to define, but it’s important for us to understand and honor. Your spiritual state should be something you feel good about—and if it isn’t, there are steps you can take to improve your situation. Spiritual well-being can also help with physical health: many studies have connected spirituality with lower rates of substance abuse and addiction, better sleep habits, and higher levels of happiness in general.

Here are some examples of spiritual well-being:

• Belief in an afterlife or purpose beyond life on earth

• Levelheadedness under stress (studies show this helps keep us healthy)

Intellectual

If you’re reading this, chances are that you value intellectual wellness. You know the importance of an education—and not just in terms of getting a job or making money. You also know the value of reading for pleasure, learning new things and exploring your own thinking skills.

In fact, it’s probably safe to say that most people who consider themselves well-educated feel this way too.

And why wouldn’t they? A good education helps us grow as individuals and helps us function better as members of society by giving us tools for critical thinking and problem solving; it gives us access to new knowledge about ourselves (and others); and even more importantly here at [Insert Company Name Here], we believe that intellectual wellness is one key ingredient needed to achieve success on our team!

Emotional

Emotional wellness is the ability to manage stress, adapt to change and enjoy life. It’s the foundation of all other dimensions of wellness.

Emotional wellness is not only about what you feel but also how you think and act. A healthy emotional life includes:

• Managing stress – being able to cope with daily challenges by focusing on self-care or seeking help when needed

• Adapting well in times of change – being able to adapt your behavior or attitudes when things don’t go as expected (e.g., losing a job)

Occupational

Occupational wellness is defined as the ability to perform your job in a healthy way. It can be affected by your work environment, relationships with coworkers and supervisors, and work-life balance.

• Work Environment: The physical space where you spend most of your time is an important factor in occupational wellness. If you’re stuck in an office cubicle all day long without adequate ventilation or sunlight exposure, that could lead to health problems down the road (and potentially even lawsuits). Likewise if there are too many people working together who have similar breathing problems due to air pollution or chemical fumes from machinery used at their jobs—or if they’re exposed regularly over long periods of time—it might cause them stress levels so high that they become physically unhealthy themselves!

Takeaway:

• Takeaway: Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. Wellness is a state of total physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. A person’s wellness depends on the quality of their interactions with the world around them.

Conclusion

Wellness is a state of balance between the physical, social, spiritual and mental well-being of an individual. It’s important to remember that each person’s wellness journey is unique and should be customized according to their own needs. We hope we’ve given you some ideas on how to start down this path!
