When It Comes To
FULLfiling Our Whole, Well Beings
I recently attended a class on managing stress. There were some really profound aha! moments for me!
#1 – There are essentially four buckets to FULLfil.
- Physical
- Mental
- Emotional (including Social)
- Spiritual
#2 – Exercising is more than the physical.
Exercise is physical well being as well as mental health and wellness! It is good to engage both in the activities. Remember fun and not chore. Play, laugh, get curious, explore . . .
Really think about what gives you joy, pleasure and overall happiness! It is motivating and energizing. It can be an attitude and mood changer. It is a confidence booster and gives you a sense of your overall strength aka empowerment!
#3 – Thinking about social being part of not only the emotional, but the physical, mental and spiritual.
I like being solo; however, grabbing a friend or being in a group can add a social aspect and a spirit of fun! It makes you accountable. It makes you a little more willing to try new things. It can be connecting if not at times bonding. It is a way to communicate, interact and engage too!
I also enjoy getting outside to escape into the Great Outdoors! The fresh air and natural light. The becoming of one with the natural and nature is calming and grounding. The engagement of all your senses!

This was such a great analogy! I had never heard it put that way. I’m sure it was out there some where but I don’t recall it. Thanks so much for putting it out there. I enjoy reading other people’s A-HA moments. I’m definitely looking to find balance and harmony with all my buckets 🙂

You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely wide for me. I’m having a look forward to your subsequent submit, I will attempt to get the grasp of it!

The emotional and spiritual and mental buckets are just as important, and I’m a big physical fitness guy. It all adds up to work together.
Dropping by from Susie’s blog party!

[…] am changing that in 2018 for myself! I recently wrote a post called 4 Buckets and there was my sign and a sense of direction for myself. It truly resonated with me at that […]
