Metamorphosis Phase 2 is a 12-week program aimed to foster growth and deepen your sense of wellbeing. Each week we will move through 1 dimension of wellness to help you maximize your potential, provide a deeper sense of meaning to your life, and transforming the vision of health and wellness in your life leading you to greater success and a life that thrives not just survives.
Week 1 - Happiness
The way we view ourselves and the world around us can hold us back. During this journey, we are going to challenge your thoughts, your beliefs, and your behaviors to create the happiness you desire. Mindfully focusing on wellness in our lives builds resilience and enables us to thrive regardless of the challenge’s life presents to us. Wellness is a self-directed, conscious effort allowing you to evolve and reach your greatest potential. It is a process that creates the awareness to help you make better, more successful decisions.
Week 2 – Core Values
The first step in creating the life you want is knowing what you truly believe in. Core values are the things you believe are important in the way you live, connect, and work. Core values help shape your identity, decisions, and your future. Values provide the framework for who you want to be and the criteria that should ultimately influence every decision you make. When our lives are aligned with our values, life becomes more fulfilling because you are aligning yourself with what you truly believe in. Our behaviors influence our decisions. Programming (what we were taught to do, what beliefs our parents instilled in us, not necessarily what we are aligned with) & lack of boundaries get in the way – like people-pleasing or not wanting to say no. Life experiences and our perception of those experiences influence our decisions. So there can be a lot of smoke and mirrors to walking through to recognize what you are truly aligned with. Whether you realize it or not, you already make decisions based on values now, based on what you think and how you behave. Ask people around you what their values are. You’d be surprised at how many don know what they are aligned with. If you don’t know what you want out of life and can define it in concrete terms, you’ll wander aimlessly searching for something elusive because you never took the time to define it. And it all begins here. Use your core values to help you grow and develop, help you establish boundaries, and help guide you to the future you desire.
Week 3 – Emotions & Our Emotional States
This week we are going to dive deep into our emotions and emotional states. Learning how to manage, recognize, and decipher the emotions we are feeling is at the core of creating the life you want to live. Developing the skills to have the capacity to be aware of, control, and express your emotions and how to handle interpersonal relationships is emotional intelligence. Having higher levels of emotional intelligence has been proven to manage stress more effectively, leads to fewer bouts of depression and more satisfaction with life. This is great news! Emotional intelligence is a skill you can build! To become emotionally intelligent, you must become honest with yourself about your feelings, motivations, misdeeds, insecurities. We all feel the same emotions. Pay attention to body language, facial expressions, and word choice (even in yourself), they are all signals to the underlying issues.
Week 4 – Spiritual Wellness
Spiritual wellness refers to our innermost self, our purpose, and meaning in life. Many people define spirituality through religious means while others find spiritual expression through a personal relationship with a higher power, others, or through nature. There is no wrong way; there is only the way that is best suited for you. Spiritual wellness is living a life with purpose and meaning. Spiritual wellness provides us with systems of faith, beliefs, values, ethics, principles, and morals. Spiritual wellness includes the development of a deep appreciation for the depth and expanse of life and natural forces that exist in the universe. A healthy spiritual practice may include examples of volunteerism, social contributions, belonging to a group, fellowship, optimism, forgiveness, and expressions of compassion. Spiritual wellness allows one to live a life consistent with their own belief and moral systems, while we establish our feeling of purpose and find meaning in life events. When you live your life full of purpose and meaning, it creates harmony. Spiritual wellness involves knowing your beliefs, values, and purpose. There are many ways to create a greater sense of self through spiritual beliefs. Practices like prayer, devotionals, fitness, meditation can all create a sense of balance and develop the spiritual aspect of wellness. Growing spiritually, you’ll try to find peaceful harmony between internal personal feelings and emotions and the rough and rugged stretches of your path. While traveling this path, you may experience many feelings of doubt, despair, fear, disappointment, and dislocation as well as feelings of pleasure, joy, happiness, and discovery - these are all important experiences and components of the terrain, your value system. You’ll know you're becoming spiritually well when your actions become more consistent with your beliefs and values. You’ll continually think about and integrate your experiences and beliefs with the experiences and beliefs of those around you. With this valuable spiritual wellness information, you’ll be able to engage in the formulation of your world view, and your system of values and goals.
Week 5 – Intellectual Wellness
When you know better, you must do better. Right? Well, if you want to live a life that flourishes, I believe you do. Intellectual wellness is all about challenging yourself. Challenge your thoughts, your habits. Be open to new ideas. Look for new challenges, new things to learn, new habits. Get into your creative space. Intellectual wellness is engaging in creative and stimulating mental activities to expand your knowledge and skills to help you discover the potential for sharing your gifts with others. Intellectual wellness is in many ways the portal to that “new, new.” You know, that new song, new dance, new book, new clothing choice, new workout, new friend, new food you've been wanting to try but have been too scared, ashamed, guilty, etc. Sometimes people and their judgments take more precedence than we realize. Be open to recognizing that this week. See how much you are people-pleasing, how much people's opinions weigh you down.
Week 6 – Social Wellness
Social wellness refers to the relationships we have and how we interact with others. Our relationships can offer support during difficult times. Social wellness involves building healthy, nurturing, and supportive relationships as well as fostering a genuine connection with those around you. Maintaining an optimal level of social wellness allows you to build healthy relationships with others. Having a supportive social network allows you to develop assertive skills and become comfortable with who you are in social situations. Surrounding yourself with a positive social network increases your self-esteem. Social wellness enables you to create boundaries that encourage communication, trust, and conflict management. Having good social wellness is critical to building emotional resilience. Research has shown that a lack of social wellness has side effects as serious as smoking, high blood pressure, and obesity. When you have a healthy, active social life, research has also shown that it improves our immune system, strengthens our heart and cardiovascular system, and helps you to manage stress more effectively. Check yourself. Evaluate your relationships. Are they fulfilling or do they leave you drained? How do you feel when you go out? Becoming aware of these and maintaining that awareness allows you to cultivate the right relationships to leave you feeling full all the time. We were made to connect. Healthy social wellness has interdependent relationships. Healthy connections with others where our needs and thoughts can be expressed openly and without judgment. Healthy social wellness also means you are taking care of yourself. Healthy relationships have clear communication, positive interactions, effective listening, empathy for others, and others caring for you.
Week 7 – Occupational Wellness
Occupational wellness is the ability to optimize the balance between work and personal life, reducing and preventing stress, and striving for satisfaction and meaning in life through working. Occupational wellness is an important part of life for many because most people spend a lot of their time and effort at work. Work allows for the opportunity for people to pursue economic security and financial well-being, become productive in their industry, utilize talents and develop skills, pursue their interests, connect and network with colleagues, and develop an identity in their field of work, among others. Leisure is also an important aspect of occupational wellness, which provides people with deeply satisfying activities, and allows people to engage their senses. All of us need to feel a sense of purpose and meaning in our lives. Following our purpose helps fulfill this need. This is why it is so key to know your core values. When you begin to align yourself with your core values, in every decision you make(even having that piece of chocolate cake or buying those shoes), you begin to make work/life decisions that assist you in where you’re going rather than hold you back.
Week 8 – Physical Wellness
Physical wellness promotes proper care of our bodies for optimal health and functioning. There are many elements of physical wellness that all must be cared for together. Overall physical wellness encourages the balance of physical activity, nutrition, and mental well-being to keep your body in top condition. Obtaining an optimal level of physical wellness allows you to nurture personal responsibility for your own health. As you become conscious of your physical health, you can identify elements you are successful in as well as elements you would like to improve. A few proven benefits of physical activity are strengthened bones and muscles, reduced risk of disease and stroke, and more energy. Learn more about physical activity.
Week 9 – Environmental Wellness
Environmental wellness is our connectedness to our surroundings. Your environment includes not just the natural environment but your social environment as well. Environmental wellness is respecting our surroundings and to live a lifestyle that lives in harmony with the outside forces. The core value of environmental wellness is respect. A healthy respect for nature and all living things. Living a consciously, environmentally healthy life includes habits like recycling, not littering, not being around people who drain us of our energy, decorating to suit our likes, and practicing more sustainable ways of living like turning off lights when leaving a room. We need to take a moment to evaluate how we affect the environment around us. Understanding the impact, we make on the world, both good and bad, help us to live fuller, healthier lives. We play an integral part in maintaining the habitat around us –home, work, outside, etc. Our environment is a huge factor in how we feel about ourselves. Where we live and work has a huge impact on how we feel. We must be conscious of creating an environment that helps us thrive, not just survive.
Week 10 – Financial Wellness
Financial wellness is a state of being wherein a person can fully meet current and ongoing financial obligations, can feel secure in their financial future and can make choices that allow enjoyment of life. It involves the process of learning how to successfully manage financial expenses. Money plays a critical role in our lives and not having enough of it impacts health as well as other parts of one’s life. Financial stress is repeatedly found to be a common source of stress, anxiety, and fear. Keeping track of expenses, making a budget, and sticking to it are important skills to have in order to be finically responsible and independent. Learning how to maximize your financial wellness now will help you feel prepared to handle potentially stressful financial situations in the future.
Week 11 – Life Purpose / Reflect
No one wants to live a life that only gets excited for weekends! Your purpose is the foundation on which all plans should be built. Your purpose is a compass. It acts as a guide helping you craft decisions, thoughts, and actions that move you forward to living your destiny. When you live in purpose, you refuse to let fear guide your decision-making process. Have a dream that turns into a plan so amazing, so glowing, so motivating that you're willing to walk blurry-eyed to work every day, to make the changes necessary, to have the resilience even when things get rough so you have the means to achieve it and to live it. Your purpose is timeless.
Week 12 – Social Wellness
This week is the culmination of the entire inspirational and transformational journey. Participants will gauge their lives in each area and compare it to the first week of identical assignments.
