Wellness and Self-Improvement

Key wellness & self-care / self-management strategies

Use self-reflection tools to clarify your life

  • Wheel of Life: map your current state across:
    • Personal
    • Quality of life
    • Relationships
    • Work
  • My Biography: reinforce your life cycle mapping and help you see your life “as a whole”.
  • Important: these activities are not graded—they’re for practice and building your course output.

Define a “desired state” (vision for the future)

  • The desired state is where your goals/dreams become real.
  • It should guide your decisions and actions.
  • Build priorities from what you rated as needing the most attention in the Wheel of Life.

Power of purpose

  • Purpose provides energy and drive.
  • With purpose, tasks can feel “lighter,” even when life remains complex.

Create a priority list that turns insight into action

  • The priorities tool works across pillars:
    • Personal
    • Quality of life
    • Relationships
    • Work/profession
  • For each criterion, compare:
    • Current state score → Desired state score
  • Then list what must change to move from one to the other.

Write a clear, measurable personal vision

Your vision should be:

  • Quantitative (tangible, concrete)
  • Achievable
  • Time-bound (with a deadline/timeframe)

Timeframe guidance mentioned

  • Short: 1–3 months
  • Medium: 3–5 years
  • Long: 5–10 years

Examples included lifestyle outcomes such as more leisure time and better quality time at home.

Prioritize based on real-life constraints

  • Don’t force changes that don’t fit your current stage.
  • Example: after childbirth, health/physical activity priorities should account for postpartum demands.

Process goals without shame when you miss deadlines

  • No goal is truly unachievable—you readjust the course or extend the timeline.
  • View progress as “miles traveled,” not only the endpoint.

Develop self-compassion and resilience through self-discovery

  • When you feel frustrated, reframe it:
    • reassess your rhythm
    • adjust your time horizon
    • redesign the plan
  • This means you’re refining rather than quitting.

Address career stress and anxiety about change

  • Normalize career transitions as increasingly common.
  • Encourage building knowledge and adapting to market demands.

Productivity & implementation method (structured action planning)

Use SWOT/SU analysis before the action plan

  • Strengths / Weaknesses / Opportunities / Threats
    • Strengths: what you do well and should keep
    • Weaknesses: what needs improvement
    • Opportunities: external openings (e.g., market/life changes)
    • Threats: external risks (e.g., unstable market, family complications)

Use the 5W2H tool to build your Action Plan

Use it to define clarity on:

  • who does what
  • why
  • where
  • when
  • how
  • cost

Components

  • What (AT)
  • Why (intention)
  • Where
  • When (deadline)
  • Who (responsible person)
  • How (method)
  • How much it costs

Focus on what you can change right now

  • Don’t try to change everything at once—choose the most feasible set.
  • You can shift attention across areas (e.g., work/relationships now; health/sports later).

Visual management via a Dream Board (mural)

  • Create a dream board to “make the invisible visible.”
  • Place it where you’ll see it daily (wall, cardboard, table, etc.).
  • Tie the visuals to your top action/priority (example: a soccer image for returning to play).

Self-care specifically discussed: spirituality, routines, and boundaries

Spirituality as a self-care practice (not necessarily religion)

  • Spirituality ≠ religion (religion can be one way to practice it).
  • Practices mentioned:
    • contemplation
    • meditation
    • reflection / introspection
    • structured ritual moments
  • Core emphasis: build it as a routine.
  • Spirituality supports:
    • beliefs about self/people/world
    • faith that enables action (faith requires movement, not waiting)

Learn to say “no” to protect your priorities

  • The easier you get at knowing your own wants/vision, the easier it becomes to set boundaries.
  • Insight: difficulty saying no often comes from not having a “self-agreement.”

Key wellness/self-management takeaways

  • Map your current life with Wheel of Life + My Biography
  • Define a desired state and a priorities list (based on scores from 1–10/12-type criteria)
  • Connect the plan to purpose for energy and motivation
  • Write a vision that’s concrete + achievable + time-bound
  • Adjust priorities to your life stage (e.g., postpartum reality)
  • Use SWOT/SU to reflect on strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/threats
  • Build an action plan with 5W2H (tasks, deadlines, responsibility, cost)
  • Use visual management: create a dream board and keep it visible
  • Treat setbacks as plan adjustments, not failures
  • Practice spirituality through consistent routines (not necessarily religion)
  • Strengthen boundaries by practicing saying no aligned with your vision
