Could use your help with "wellness" categories

[OneGrassRoot]

I'm working on something which necessitates I try to come up with 12 logical wellness categories (one for each month). The idea is for this website to eventually be a "one-stop" wellness resource...wellness on all levels.

In thinking about the big picture of our lives, these are the categories that, to me, seem to cover things. Certainly, many can and do overlap, but I believe they can be separated out for closer inspection (and introspection).

Are there obvious categories I'm missing which pertain to the general population? Do you feel there's a better way to word any of them perhaps? This is my first draft of getting it down in black and white, so I'm just not sure...

Thanks. :hi:



CATEGORIES OF WELLNESS

Physical

Mental/Intellectual

Emotional

Spiritual/Ethical/Moral

Relationship: Partnerships/Family (the wellness of our more intimate relationships)

Interpersonal/Social (more casual relationships)

Creative

Lifestyle

Environmental/Planetary (Humankind's relationships with Mother Earth, the animal kingdom, plant kingdom, etc.)

Work/Career/Livelihood

Community/Local (the wellness of our local physical communities as a whole)

Community/Global (the wellness of the global community)

1. Why don't you parallel them

to the 12 signs of the zodiac; they're quite "natural" :hi:

3. Sounds like a great idea, yet...

I don't know nearly enough about the signs of the zodiac to even begin to know how to do that. :eyes: I don't know how each sign parallels an area of wellness/healing and can't find a nice, neat list as it pertains to "wellness" categories?

Do you have specific suggestions, Dear Sir, or point me to a "Zodiac for Dummies" which could help with this particular question?

Thanks. :hug:

2. Relationship: Partnerships/Family (the wellness of our more intimate relationships)

Should include the wellness of or relationship with ourself.
We always forget to look after and nurture ourselves.

Wow that project looks very cool OneGrassRoot.

4. Yep, yep, you're right, Howler!

Great point. Thanks. :hi:

7. Do you think the Emotional Wellness category....

would cover things such as relationship with self, self-esteem, self-worth, etc.? Emotional wellness, to me, is about our inner emotional world and the other things categories are how we interact with the external world.

I don't want to over-think this but do want to gain more clarity. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. :hi:

8. You can categorize them

and cross-section them in many ways of course. In astrology, they are tied together with their polarity.

1 Aries self, self assertion vs 7 Libra, partnership/socializing
2 Taurus my stuff, my self-worth vs 8 Scorpio our stuff/our value/our sex/ our intimacy
3 Gemini my mind vs 9 Sag our mind/philosophy
4 Cancer my feeling/family vs 10 Capricorn my place in the world
5 Leo my creativity vs 11 Aquarius our world/global
6 Virgo my service to man/via discrimination 12 Pisces my service to man via non-discrimination

that's what the new book is about

I can see what you are trying to do. A 1-to-1 match is not necessary - each archetype is flexible
good luck! :hi:

9. Oh wow, I didn't realize that!

...about your book illuminating things about zodiac for people like me. ;)

I'll have to stay in touch about this wellness project.

Good luck in finishing the book!!

10. collective....

I saw you write that word in another thread.

The "wellness" project I'm working on (thank goodness everything ties together in one way or another, or I would have lost my mind by now...lol)...is entitled "Our Collective Wellness."

Feels very synchronous. Cool beans. :bounce:

11. One cool bean, two cool beans, three..... lol nt

5. Let me give it a shot, hmm

1. Aries Self-assertion, defining your own boundaries
2. Taurus Self-worth
3. Gemini Mental
4. Cancer Emotional
5. Leo Self-expression, creative
6. Virgo Preventive health
7. Libra Social interplay
8. Scorpio Sexual, intimacy
9. Sagittarius Philosophical
10. Capricorn Social position/ career
11. Aquarius Global
12. Pisces Spiritual

something like that, they're archetypally sound

good luck :hi:
