Wellbeing
Why It Matters
Recent studies by the Harvard School of Public Health and the NIH emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to wellbeing that encompasses both physical and mental health, as well as the wholeness of person.
Building on this research, six key pillars of wellbeing have been identified. We’ve introduced a seventh: Ecological Wellbeing.
PHYSICAL
What sensations am I feeling? Are my body’s needs being met in a way that supports my optimum function & flow?
MENTAL
What level of mental activity is right for me now? How is my ability to focus? Am I growing and meeting goals?
EMOTIONAL
Am I aware of the emotions that I’m experiencing as they unfold? Do I have support in expressing my feelings?
SOCIAL
Am I nurturing high-quality connections with others? Do I set healthy boundaries when engaging interpersonally?
PURPOSE-CENTERED
(also called Spiritual Wellbeing) What gives me purpose in life? Are my actions aligned with my purpose?
ECOLOGICAL
What are my relationships like with the world? How am I contributing to the living systems I’m part of?
FINANCIAL
How is my financial situation linked to my well-being? Do I use resources in alignment with my values?
Testimonials
“I can’t imagine anyone not feeling more connected to themselves, more passionate about what their work is and more ready to go.”
“My experience with YOL taught me to stretch personally and professionally while continuing to be my authentic self.”
“It was an outstanding experience with a great bunch of people. I was asked to reflect on my experience, which stretched that soul-satisfying feeling a few more days.”
“I was amazed at how open and vulnerable the group was and how open and vulnerable I was…it was eye-opening.”
“The YOL programs enable you to learn and practice mindful leadership and become more self-aware mentally and physically.”
“The integration of the learning opportunities, the physical activities, the service...it felt like a wholistic approach to learning.”
Leadership is not about titles, positions or work hours. It’s about relationships.
