Wellbeing

State of balance in mind, body, and spirit.

Wellbeing = a state of balance in the mind, body, and spirit in which the adversity of your ILR practice is not outweighed by the reward.

Spaces, relationships, and moments where you experience rest.

Practices that help you recover from stress.

A life that provides you enough protection from harm.

So you can nurture resiliency.

That supports safety and healing for yourself and those around you.

Wellbeing isn’t a constant fixed state.

Like a pendulum swinging back and forth a healthy nervous system moves between activated and resting.

Some adversity is good for your wellbeing. It helps you build resiliency.

Too much adversity is bad for your wellbeing. It causes burnout.

If your pendulum doesn’t swing back enough to the rest, recovery, and reward side of your ILR practice then it’s harming you.
