In reviewing the 8 dimensions of wellness I can relate to a few
experiences within my community. At the beginning of the year my
husband, two children and my dog moved from California to Idaho.
We are struggling with the Social Wellness; we left a great
neighborhood with great friends and here our street is quiet, and no
one even waives. Well except for me, I am that person that will
waive frantically until you see me. Often times they don’t even look
up.
If you look at various move to Idaho pages on social media, some of
the people are rude and say stay out! I am almost afraid to say I was
born and raised in California.
My takeaway from this experience is I really took what we had for
granted. I didn’t realize that it had such an impact on me,
understanding the bias and how it has influenced me really makes
sense now. b My social wellness is off and could be contributing to
why I am not the early riser I used to be. AMAZING! I am already
mustering up a plan in my head on how to “break the ice”. We are
almost done with our backyard; this might be the perfect opportunity
to have a neighborhood get together? Or will it backfire, and no one
will show…
