Personal Growth
SUCCESS
AT WORK
Your life is
comprised of several parts, all of which working together, bring a balance
needed for optimal wellness:
-
Physical: nutritious
food, safe water, healthy air, exercise
-
Mental: intellect,
knowledge, thinking
-
Emotional: feelings,
belonging, security
-
Philosophical:
authenticity, spirituality, meaning, attitudes
-
Social: relationships
with others
-
Career and recreational:
finances, leisure
Either an
overabundance or a deficiency in one area can affect other components,
e.g., overwork in your career can cause physical exhaustion leading to
illness, stress resulting in emotional upsets affecting social relationships,
and mental inefficiencies causing incorrect decisions.
Physical fitness
has a major impact on your overall wellness. Employers also benefit through
decreased medical costs and improved productivity on the job, two important
considerations when more work is spread over fewer people. During
the past two years, how many days were you off work or school due to medical
reasons? Can you, or do you want to, offer a potential employer the advantages
that go with a healthy lifestyle? What changes, if any, need to be
implemented to increase your stamina and endurance?
In conjunction
with your career objectives from the section above, decide your goals in
other areas of your life: family and friends; sports and physical fitness,
leisure activities including travel; finances including retirement funding,
etc.
