The Wellness Engineer Method for Success
The Wellness Engineer Method for Success
There are three things that make the Wellness Engineers method work:
Believing that Heroes are made, not born.
Take responsibility for your well being.
Use the power of choice to guide your response to unexpected outcomes.
Taking control of your time and environment for success.
Create an environment that supports your goals.
Life is a journey we must all take, therefore, look for progress instead of perfection.
Consistently intentional good actions 90% of the time train you for the 10% of uncontrollable outcomes that life throws at you.
Repeat the good choices more often than the bad ones to create healthy habits.
Be consistent.
Unlikely heroes and heroines are all around us waiting to be discovered. I believe it could be you. While they are amazing and achieve great feats, the people that do extraordinary things, only seem extraordinary because they do things that most of us don’t. Choose what they know is right. Do you believe heroes are made or born? Do you believe in free will or the power of choice?
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. we ourselves must walk the path.” Buddha
Heroes/heroines are made. They accept their path and use choice to create an environment in their favor. Such was the case in the story of Hercules. Hercules is the son of Zeus who was turned into a half God and sent to live on Earth by Hades, Zeus’s “evil” brother. Later Hercules finds he has God-like powers, but after reaching out to his father, Zeus tells Hercules that in order for him to return to Mt. Olympus, he must become a true hero. Despite this also being the plot to a 1997 Disney film, the same synopsis is all throughout Greek mythology (not discussed for our purposes here).
Choice is the greatest power that humans possess. It’s what gives everyone the potential to be the hero or heroine of their own life. The Wellness Engineers Method runs on the philosophy that we have a responsibility to ourselves to make choices that support the environment for success in our personal wellness, and anything less will not become an excuse, but an opportunity to respond in a way that turns the odds back in our favor. When you feel sick, the cause could be what you recently consumed. So eat and drink healthier. When you feel weak, ask yourself if you’ve exercised for strength recently. If not, move or exercise more consistently. When you feel down, let the emotions flow, then look for positive spins. There is always a choice in how you respond to any situation; good or bad responses determine the next outcome. Think back to a time when you experienced something bad that was unexpected. Did you respond by allowing your next actions to be affected by that experience blaming the next outcome on that experience? Or did you accept the experience, learn from it, and take actions to deliberately prevent that same experience in the future? Check yourself.
If your answers to the questions above are “I’m not sure”, ask yourself this question. Do you like the current situation you are in? Do you like your life? If your answer is “Yes”, that’s fantastic, you’ve probably made more good choices to cause good luck than bad choices that delay it.
If your answer is “no”, that’s too bad but it’s not over for you. You’re in a great spot because you have the power to change that. All you have to do is choose to make a change.
“You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.” Napoleon Hill
The Wellness Engineer believes in the idea of taking control of their own environment to make changes according to the way they want their lives to be. This sounds selfish, but Is it selfish to want a great life, a happy life for yourself and your family when we know that a healthy mind and body helps relationships flourish? Is it selfish to be happy? I would say no. I say everyone deserves to be happy, healthy, and be able to do everything they love to do. Does life always workout that way? No, but I don’t believe blame should be a part of it. Those that choose to blame a bad situation on another person or an experience, have not yet learned one of the biggest rules of life. That everyone is responsible for themselves first. I’m not saying, don’t care about anyone else, but you can’t really help anyone if you don’t have yourself under control or have experienced what they are going through before. Truly understanding responsibility is understanding that every thought we think, every image we visualize or perceive, and every action we take is ours and only ours. All of them, good and bad.
If you are feeling that you are out of shape, always getting sick or stressed out, but want to be the healthiest version of yourself. Then what are you waiting for? Get your actions aligned with your vision. Remember Buddha, “no one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may...” Make the change. Choose to be the engineer of your well being. Take responsibility for all the thoughts you think, images you see, and actions you have taken and are going to take. When you do this you have decided to take back control of your life. 10% of the time things may not go according to plan, but it’s okay. Let them go. I believe in you and you should too because you not only have the power to respond to those things, but you know exactly what to do because you’ve trained for it in the other 90% of life. You control your choices, the thoughts you pay attention to, the actions you take, who and what you put your energy toward. When those choices, thoughts, and actions are positive, support your health and well being, and are consistent, they form “good habits”. When good habits are done consistently, they become routines and you will find success in anything you put your mind to. The Wellness Engineer’s way is a perspective on life and the way to get the results you deserve for the long haul. Every situation is an opportunity for a positive response whether it's mental, physical, or emotional, and that gives you power.
