Laboratory Activities 35 Laboratory Activities Name  ____________________________  Section  ___________________  Date  ______________________ Lab 1.1 Your Wellness Profile Consider how your lifestyle, attitudes, and characteristics relate to each of the nine dimensions of wellness. Fill in your strengths for each dimension (examples of strengths are listed with each dimension). Once you’ve completed your lists, choose what you believe are your five most important strengths and circle them. Physical wellness: To maintain overall physical health and engage in appropriate physical activity (e.g., stamina, strength, flexibility, healthy body composition). Emotional wellness: To have a positive self-concept, deal constructively with your feelings, and develop pos- itive qualities (e.g., optimism, trust, self-confidence, determination). Intellectual wellness: To pursue and retain knowledge, think critically about issues, make sound decisions, identify problems, and find solutions (e.g., common sense, creativity, curiosity). Interpersonal/Social wellness: To develop and maintain meaningful relationships with a network of friends and family members, and to contribute to your community (e.g., friendly, good-natured, compassionate, sup- portive, good listener). Cultural wellness:  To accept, value, and even celebrate personal and cultural differences (e.g., refuse to ste- reotype based on ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation; create relationships with those who are dif- ferent from you; maintain and value your own cultural identity).
CHAPTER 1 Introduction to Wellness, Fitness, and Lifestyle Management 36 Spiritual wellness: To develop a set of beliefs, principles, or values that give meaning or purpose to one’s life; to develop faith in something beyond oneself (e.g., religious faith, service to others). Environmental wellness: To protect yourself from environmental hazards and to minimize the negative impact of your behaviour on the environment (e.g., carpooling, recycling). Financial wellness:  To live within your means and manage your money in a way that gives you peace of mind (e.g., budget planning and saving). Occupational wellness:  To gain a measure of happiness and fulfillment through your work (e.g., enjoy what you do, feel valued by your manager, build positive relationships with co-workers, take advantage of opportu- nities to learn and be challenged). Next, think about where you fall on the wellness continuum for each of the dimensions of wellness. Indicate your placement for each—physical, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal/social, cultural, spiritual, environmental, financial, and occupational—by placing Xs on the continuum below. Low level of wellness Change and growth Physical, psychological, emotional symptoms High level of wellness Based on both your current lifestyle and your goals for the future, what do you think your placement on the wellness continuum will be in 10 years? What new health behaviours would you have to adopt to achieve your goals? Which of your current behaviours would you need to change to maintain or improve your level of well- ness in the future?
Laboratory Activities 37 Does the description of wellness given in this chapter encompass everything you believe is part of wellness for you? Write your own definition of wellness, and include any additional dimensions that are important to you. Then rate your level of wellness based on your own definition. Using Your Results How did you score? Are you satisfied with your current level of wellness—overall and in each dimension? In which dimension(s) would you most like to increase your level of wellness? What should you do next? As you consider possible target behaviours for a behaviour change program, choose things that will maintain or increase your level of wellness in one of the dimensions you listed as an area of concern. Remember to consider health behaviours such as smoking or eating a high-fat diet that may threaten your level of wellness in the future. Below, list several possible target behaviours and the wellness dimensions that they influence. For additional guidance in choosing a target behaviour, complete the lifestyle self-assessment in Lab 1.2.
