On this day, 8/8/23, would you consider the state of your overall health and wellness to be at your best (ceiling) or your worst (floor)?
If we consider our current health to be at the "floor" state we are saying that's our baseline. That's ok! This helps us to identify areas that need more attention and improvement. When we understand where we stand at our worst, we're able see big picture: potential health risks, admit some bad habits, or identify other aspects that may be negatively impacting our well-being. Basically, there's no where to go but up! Although it may not be fun to do, taking a step back and being honest about our holistic health allows us to make a plan to take realistic, proactive steps to address issues and prevent any health challenges from escalating.
On the other hand, if we can confidently say our health is at a "ceiling" state, that means we've made it to the highest level of well-being that we've ever achieved. This is the healthiest you've EVER been. Basically, all aspects of your life including your physical, mental, and emotional well-being have never been better. If that's you now, wow - congratulations. I know it takes hard work, dedication, digging deep and motivation (especially hard when you're not always motivated).
The "floor" and "ceiling" approach together creates a balanced perspective which also promotes self-awareness, and mindfulness. It also encourages us to listen to our bodies with intention and purpose. If we're honest, we're able to understand our own strengths and weaknesses. We're able to discern which wellness approaches work for us and, just as important, which don't. After all, our personal health journey is...personal.
No matter where you fall in the floor to ceiling parameter, I want to encourage you to always be reevaluating your current state. This way, you prevent self-sabotage because you're consistently striving for self-improvement in all areas of life. Don't just "hit the ceiling" and fall back down. Move your baseline up instead.
If you want to learn more about how private health coaching can benefit your "floor to ceiling" levels, I'd love to talk to you more. Right now, I'm offering a "Back to School Special" if you book a call with me by 8/31/23!
