Integrity
Integrity is non-negotiable for a life well lived. I push myself to do the right thing even when it's the hard thing.
Authenticity
So many deathbed regrets centre around no giving oneself permission to be genuine. Authenticity means having the courage to show up as you are.
Fun
Research shows that a new neural connection forms twenty (yes, twenty!) times faster when it is made during a state of play. Incorporating fun into wellness accelerates learning and makes the process enjoyable so that it's easier to maintain in the long term.
Curiosity
Curiosity means staying open to possibility, even when things are hard. With curiosity as your ally, you will see the hidden pathways where others just see a dead end.
Courage
Can you remember being absolutely terrified about something that is now totally routine? That was you growing your comfort zone. There's no way around it - in order to live a life worth living, we need to have the courage to leave our comfort zone from time to time.
It takes courage to heal, to be honest, to try something new. You're braver than you think!
Freedom
Even when things are at their most challenging and restrictive, there is always freedom - the freedom of how you choose your thoughts, how you nurture your ideas, and how you speak to yourself. Orienting to freedom and possibility is a skill that is available to us all.
Ease
You probably already know that mental health problems cannot be resolved through hard work alone. Imagine spending years trying to break down a wall when all you had to do was step back long enough to notice the door.
