Identify a Wellness Partner

Hello Beloved! So grateful for another Saturday to share with you, as we lay the groundwork for a sustainable self-care plan that will get our temples ready to do all that God has purposed for them to do. This week's tip and call to action is to identify a wellness partner. Ecclesiastes 4: 9 - 12, NIV reads: 

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
We are creatures of habit. Even when the habits do not prosper us, we struggle to break them--we struggle to change.  Establishing a clear WHY for the change we undertake, S.M.A.R.T goals and plan to meet those goals, are essential steps to supporting our difficult work of beginning something new. Having a wellness partner hit the road or mat with you, can make all the difference. This week we encourage you to prayerfully select a friend to walk, run, barre, etc. this road to wellness with you. Below are some traits we believe to be an invaluable asset in a wellness partner:
​
  1. Your wellness partner should be for you. She should be desirous of your ultimate good and be willing to share her presence, gifts, talents, knowledge and resources to support your wellbeing. Sum of her interactions with you should be, "Go ahead girl! Be all that God has made you to be!"
  2. Your wellness partner should have an established commitment to wellness. She should have a deep conviction that what you have committed yourself to pursue, is in fact worthy of being pursued. Before deciding, have a discussion about your wellness goals to see if you have the same mission.
  3. Your wellness partner should have strengths in her pursuit of wellness, where you are weak. She will be able to provide guidance and a living model of how you may overcome your current areas of weakness. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to leverage your strengths to support her in triumphing over her struggles. Iron sharpens iron! (Proverbs 27).
  4. Your wellness partner should be someone who loves you enough to tell you the truth. Your wellness partner should be someone from whom you can hear the truth. She should be one you can trust to hold you accountable."Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice." (Proverbs 27:9, NIV).

If you are just joining us, we are working our way through the tips outlined in 8 Tips to Stay Motivated Throughout the Year, with the help of supplemental resources.

Happy temple building!

​Take care. Bless many.
