Why The small change toolkit?
It addresses the missing piece of the health and wellness puzzle, the piece most often overlooked by individuals and providers in the healthcare industry - the
SPIRITUAL ASPECT
The toolkit focuses on the principle that health is more than the absence of disease:
Health is the whole person - the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well being of an individual
When one aspect of an individual's health is affected, the whole person is affected
Adressing the Spiritual Aspect of Health:
Connects you to your inner power, the power to be transformed
Changes you on the inside. Subsequently your physical, mental, social and emotional well-being changes, life as you experience it changes.
Orients you to developing a consciousness of health by bridging the gap between knowledge, attitude and behavior:
You learn what it means to be healthy
When you learn what it means to be healthy, it changes your attitude about health
A change of attitude leads to behavioral changes
When you know better, you do better:
You let go of self-defeating thoughts and behaviors
You adopt life-enhancing behaviors
Your physical, mental, social and emotional health improves as your spiritual health improves
Like the caterpillar that morphs into a butterfly, you begin the process of putting wings on your dreams
The small change toolkit specifically targets women because:
Women are more likely to make health decisions for the family
Healthy women > healthy families > healthy communities
10 Practical reasons to try the small change toolkit:
It’s a small investment that yields huge results
It requires only 3 things to get started: 1) COMMITMENT (only 30 minutes of your time each day), 2) a PEN, and 3) a NOTEBOOK or JOURNAL
Investment in small change activities doesn’t compare to what you could spend in health carecosts
It enables you to focus on solutions rather than problems
It is transformative work
small changes are easier to manage
It’s easy to chart your progress, feel a sense of accomplishment, and continue working toward your goal
It reduces the pressure to be perfect; instead you learn to be the best version of you!
It is based on the fact that information alone doesn’t change behavior, interactive learning does
Regardless of your present situation, it prepares you to put wings on your dreams
Still not sure you’re ready to give the tools a try?
Ask yourself:
Do you understand the connection between behavior and health?
Are you waiting to get sick to start thinking about your health?
Do you know that behavioral change is a process that begins with choices?
Have you set goals only to give up when you didn’t see immediate and measurable results?
Are you leaving the responsibility of your health to someone else? If so, do you think that someone else ever treats you better than you treat yourself?
