New Doors

The status quo offers familiarity and habit. It avoids the anxiety of thinking about the unknown behind the new door. We convince ourselves to settle for “good enough.”

When it comes to health, most people want something more than “good enough.” We want to live our best life. We want to win our personal championships or at least give it our best effort.

That’s why there are six ​Elements of Well-Being​: Vocational, Emotional, Social, Physical, Existential, and Resources. Ah, there’s one more very important part.

Intellectual Well-Being (IW) is the glue that connects these elements together to create something bigger and better. It is a dedication to daily discovery.

Just as one might exercise to keep muscles strong and promote physical wellness, doing various activities to promote Intellectual Well-Being keeps the mind strong.

IW expands current skills and knowledge, nurtures more creativity, improves critical thinking, and refines problem solving skills.

Intellectual Well-Being is a superpower – it helps you boost your brain power.

Continue to be curious. Explore, discover, learn. Evaluate new ideas. This will help you feel better, no matter your age.
That is why Intellectual Well-Being is fundamental to a healthy lifestyle. It is the engine that powers the six Elements of Well-Being.

Think of Intellectual Well-Being as the key that unlocks the rest. It unlocks your best.

Until next time . . . all the best . . . ~g
