Wellness Tool for Coaches

There is a new wellness tool available in South Africa – The Wellness Inventory - designed to meet our society’s current wellness needs. Martin Combrinck looks at why it is a must for your Coaching toolbox.

The Wellness Inventory is a ‘whole person’ assessment and lifestyle programme designed to help you gain personal insight into your state of physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. The programme offers guidance and tools to transform this new awareness into lasting changes in your life, and a renewed sense of health and wellbeing.

The programme revolves around assessment in the 12 dimensions of wellness according to Dr. Travis’ Wellness Energy System. The assessment is educational in nature and helps to create awareness of how your lifestyle, attitudes and behaviour influence your state of health and wellbeing.

The programme focuses on the areas of your life you are most motivated to change (as revealed in the assessment), offering guidance, tools and resources to transform this new awareness into lasting changes in your life, including a renewed sense of health and wellbeing. The Wellness Inventory may be utilised by individuals, or it may be delivered in organisational settings.

Mission – to provide a wellness needs assessment and personalised opportunities for the improvement of an individual’s health and wellbeing.
Goal - full implementation and maximum utilisation of the Wellness Inventory in your practice, business or organisation.

What is Wellness?
* Wellness is a choice - a decision you make to move toward optimal health.
* Wellness is a way of life - a lifestyle you design to achieve your highest potential for wellbeing.
* Wellness is a process - a developing awareness that there is no end point, but that health and happiness are possible in each moment, here and how.
* Wellness is a balanced channelling of energy - energy received from the environment, transformed within you, and returned to affect the world around you.
* Wellness is the integration of the body, mind, and spirit - the appreciation that everything you do, think, feel, and believe, has an impact on your state of health.
* Wellness is the loving acceptance of yourself. The Wellness Inventory

The Wellness Inventory is based on the 12 life processes - encompassing the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual nature of our being.
