Have you ever worked on a problem or project that had several steps? Let’s say you were trying to build a bookshelf. In the process of making the bookshelf, you were supposed to tighten some interlocking screws that would increase the stability of the bookshelf. Well, you forgot to tighten those screws. When you’re all done building, you have a nice looking bookshelf. So what is the problem? You didn’t tighten those interlocking screws. The base is not sturdy, so the bookshelf is not sturdy. Every time you add a book to that shelf you are testing that base. If the base was not built properly, and is unsteady, there will likely come a time when the proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back” is added to that bookshelf. At that time, you may be adding a newly purchased novel or series to the shelf, maybe a Jodi Picoult, John Grisham, or a series from E. L. James. Well, that was one novel too many on an already unsteady bookshelf. The result…books all over the floor, broken wood, and no more bookshelf.
Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “I would never build a bookshelf. What would I put on it? Books? Why would I buy books? I have an e-reader!” I’m kidding. I love my e-reader, but I do enjoy the feel of an actual book in my hands from time to time. I mean, what would I do at a book signing? “Excuse me. Could you please sign my Nook? Thanks so much!”
I digress. There are several aspects of health and wellness, including physical, cognitive/brain, mental/emotional, spiritual, social, occupational, environmental, and financial. Each area is important. You must build a sturdy base upon which to build your health and wellness. For that reason, we will be writing a series of posts titled “The Basics.” These “The Basics” posts will cover a number of topics, and our hope is to provide you with information regarding establishing a strong foundation upon which to build your personal health and wellness.
