12 steps of wellness

[looni]

I find I get a bit sick of medical and psych jargon and labels and "symptoms". I found this today whilst looking up some other stuff for a friend and it relly struck a chord with me as it seemed such a "real" way of considering or judging where I was at and how I was doing compared to a few months ago so just thought I'd share it for anyone else who was sick of Dr speak:

12 Points of Wellness:
i. You live in a place you like and can call home.
ii. You have something that you believe is meaningful to do during the day.
iii. You have at least one someone to laugh with and pour your heart out to.
iv. You like yourself (mostly).
v. You find some joy in life and have fun now and again.
vi. You see that you have choices and you are able to make a decision about what you want to do.
vii. You feel that you are able to do most of the things you would like to do.
viii. You take a calculated risk now and then.
ix. You recognise that there are some things about life and our world that cannot be changed, at least in the short term.
x. You have found a place in the world and feel reasonably good about it.
xi. When you feel bad, you are able to make yourself feel better and ask for help when you need it.
xii. When others feel bad or need help, you give when asked.

Seems like a really good set of goals to work towards to me, turns out, I'm not doing quite as bad as I thought
