TENTATIVE CONCEPT/PROGRAM

For Cebu to soar, it is imperative that Cebu’s total wellness be considered….When people are well, so will the community be.

OBJECTIVE:

To broaden the public’s understanding of wellness in order to provide a holistic foundation for Cebu’s growth….so it can fly to wherever it wants to soar with the support of a healthy human infrastructure.

Rationale:

Wellness is defined as a …

• multidimensional state of being describing the existence of positive health in an individual as  exemplified by quality of life and a sense of well-being.
• an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence.

-         Process means that improvement is always possible

-         Aware means that we are continuously seeking more information about how we can improve.

-         Choices means that we consider a variety of options and select those in our best interest.

-         Success is determined by each individual to be their collection of life accomplishments.

In order to achieve a state of wellness in our own lives or try to guide others to it, we must pay due diligence to each of the dimensions.
