Where is your current level of wellbeing?

Feeling overcommitted, stretched too thin, anxious, overloaded or maybe even burnt out? You’re not alone as many as “7 in 10 people report they are struggling” according to Gallap.
​
Three domains of well-being provide a good starting point to consider this question. The domains come from research undertaken by Josh Freedman, the Chief Executive Officer of Six Seconds, for a course currently being developed for educators.

So, looking at these three domains - consider where you are on the scale of 1 to 5 for each of the domains. With one being unhealthy and 5 being heathy.
Taking these domains one at time.

Self-care – Think about self-care more broadly than simply how you take care of yourself physically or whether or not you provide yourself with rewards or treats like massages or weekends away. Self-care includes things like self-compassion and the way you relate to yourself.

Supportive relationships – When thinking about the relationships in your life, consider how nourishing they are? How satisfying and supportive are they? Do they need some work to be more sustaining?
​
Thriving community – As you think about this domain think about the systems and environments you are part of and weigh up; How these contexts impact you and your ability to be in equilibrium? How do they affect your ability to restore balance when you get out of kilter?

​Now that you have reflected on each of these elements and given yourself a score:
​

• What do you notice about yourself as you reflect on and consider these three domains? 
• What is the story you are telling yourself about your wellbeing?  
• Is it possible to make a small shift in the story you’re telling yourself? 

A possibility of seeing it from another perspective. You see, even a small shift in perspective can create a little more breathing space, more options or a different way of relating to what is going on.

The three domains of wellbeing and the questions explored here come from a recent Six Seconds Coaching Connections webinar.  Six Seconds offers an incredible range of free webinars. If they are of interest, you  can check them out and sign up for the upcoming webinars: 6sec.org/webinars.

It is one of many ways you can support and strengthen your wellbeing with inspiration, insights and practical tools.  

As Simon Sinek says:
It doesn’t matter when we start.
It doesn’t matter where we start.
All that matters is that we start.
