CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of PLAYING & WORKING, the 8th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing.

Simply Well
While an attitude of openness to life is definitely health-promoting, saying yes to life means saying no a good deal of the time, too. People who are afraid of disapproval from others will say yes regardless of their true feelings to avoid rocking the boat. In "Just Say No" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., explains the health promoting benefits for appropriately saying no.

Keeping Fit
Without question, all young people who compete in fall sports should perform appropriate exercise programs to enhance their physical fitness, according to Dr. Wayne Westcott in "A Standard Conditioning Program For All Fall Sports." Of course, some of the training procedures will vary based on the demands of the activity. But when it comes to muscle conditioning, Dr. Westcott proposes that a similar strength training program may be successfully applied to all types of the athletes.
