The best advice we have given to our clients is that there are 5 elements to successfully reaching wellness goals. These 5 elements include: (1) Goal Clarification, (2) some method of Tracking and Accountability, (3) having some type of social support with others who are working towards the same goals, (4) extinguishing misinformation about health, wellness, and healing with knowledge and training grounded in evidence-based research and application, and (5) making sure you have access to resources that allow you to implement strategies that will support you with reaching your wellness goals.
