You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. - Jim Rohn.

S.E.L.F stands for Synergies, Emotions, Lifestyle, and Fuel. Let’s delve into each of these components and discover how they work together to create a balanced, thriving life.
S: Synergies
Just as an orchestra requires every instrument to be in tune for a melodious performance, your body requires all systems to work synergistically. The Synergies component of our Blueprint focuses on achieving balance and harmony across your body's systems. Whether it's the interplay between your digestive and nervous systems or the synchronisation of your endocrine and circulatory systems, synergy is about making sure every part of your body is in sync. Through targeted therapies like Eden Method and holistic self-care practices like the MELT Method, we guide you in achieving this delicate yet vital balance.
E: Emotions
Emotional health forms the cornerstone of overall well-being. The Emotions aspect of the S.E.L.F Blueprint helps you develop emotional self-regulation skills to support mental, emotional, physical, and existential health. Tools and techniques from the science and research based HeartMath solutions help you manage stress, foster resilience, and develop greater mental clarity. Remember, a balanced emotional state is not just the absence of negative emotions but the ability to process and manage those emotions in a healthy way.
L: Lifestyle
The Lifestyle component encompasses everything from daily habits to long-term living strategies. It’s about creating a life that supports wellbeing. From physical movement, ample rest, and quality sleep, to engaging in fun activities and ensuring a non-toxic living environment, Lifestyle addresses day-to-day factors that affect your health. We also cover responsible device usage and integrating non-toxic personal care products. Adopting a healthy lifestyle is pivotal to maintaining balance and preventing future health issues.
F: Fuel
Just as a Formula 1 car requires high-grade fuel for peak performance, your body needs the right balance of nutrients, water, and oxygen. The Fuel component emphasises nourishing your body properly to achieve high performance. We the unique WildFit 90-day challenge and ‘Living WildFit’ principles, which transform your relationship with food and promote lasting change.

“Health is like money; we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it." - Josh Billings
In an era where the hum of everyday life often sounds more like a cacophony, our health can unwittingly take a backseat. Schedules are packed, fast food is just around the corner, and our mental well-being is subjected to constant bombardment from a digitally driven world, under pressure to perform.
It begs the question: What price do we put on our health?
The notion of health itself is multi-faceted, encompassing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Yet, there seems to be a growing divide between two distinct pathways: the normalisation of poor health versus the journey towards health optimisation.
The Normalisation of Poor Health
Alarmingly, what was once considered to be unhealthy has begun to weave its way into the fabric of the "new normal." Rising stress levels, obesity, diabetes, hormonal problems, heart disease and cancer rates speak volumes of this troubling shift. Sleep deprivation and high-stress environments are often badges of honour, worn by those who hustle through life at the expense of their health.
But why has the normalisation of poor health become a societal trend? Convenience, cost, and ignorance play critical roles. Fast food over home-cooked meals, screen time over sleep, and a sedentary lifestyle over exercise are frequently the easier, more affordable choices. Furthermore, a lack of health education, and clever marketing by the food manufacturing industry leaves many unaware of the long-term consequences of their daily decisions.
Health Optimisation: A Path Less Trodden
On the flip side of this coin is health optimisation: a proactive, conscious effort to not just prevent illness but to thrive. It encompasses a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate rest, quality sleep, and practices that bring the entire mind-body into balance. It's an investment in oneself that demands time, education, and often, financial commitment.
The journey towards health optimisation is laden with challenges, primarily because it goes against the grain of the normalised unhealthy lifestyle. It requires dedication, resilience, and a shift in mindset. Yet, those who embark on this journey often find that the rewards—increased energy, mental clarity, overall well-being, improved performance and life experience—far outweigh the costs.
Health vs. Fitness: Allies, Not Adversaries
It's important to distinguish between health and fitness, although they are closely intertwined. Fitness—the state of being physically fit—can be a component of overall health but doesn't encapsulate it wholly. You can be fit but not healthy if other aspects of your well-being are neglected. (How many young, fit sportsmen can you recall hearing about on the news who have experienced sudden heart or other health issues?!)
Optimising health isn't just about achieving a chiseled physique or hitting personal bests in the gym; it's about nurturing your body and mind comprehensively and creating a balance of exactly what a human being needs. Fitness is an essential piece of the puzzle, but it's equally important to be in physical balance, and attend to your mental and emotional health.
True health is holistic, requiring balanced nutrition, regular physical movement, proper rest, quality sleep, stress management, and emotional equilibrium.
Optimising your health goes beyond mere fitness goals. It's about making conscious lifestyle choices that enhance your overall quality of life. This includes everything from nurturing positive relationships to pursuing activities that bring joy and fulfillment.
The Cost of Poor Health
When considering the price we put on our health, it's crucial to weigh the cost of prevention against the cost of cure. Investing in preventive measures—like wholesome nutrition, regular check-ups, and health support—is often perceived as expensive in the short term. However, the long-term cost of managing, or better still preventing, chronic diseases, both financially and in terms of quality of life, can be significantly higher.
The normalisation of poor health is a costly affair, with our healthcare system buckling under the weight of preventable diseases. Conversely, health optimisation, while requiring upfront investment, paves the way for a fulfilling, vibrant life.
Poor health exacts a toll not just on individuals but on society as a whole. It impacts productivity, and whilst it places a significant strain on medical resources, for individuals, the cost is both emotional and physical – dealing with sickness, managing chronic conditions, and facing limitations on what one can enjoy or accomplish.
Conversely, investing in your health yields dividends that extend far beyond the financial. Improved well-being, enhanced mental clarity, increased energy levels, and a more profound enjoyment of life are just a few of the priceless benefits.
Shifting from Normalisation to Optimisation
Breaking free from the normalisation of poor health requires a conscious shift towards health optimisation. This doesn't necessitate drastic changes overnight but rather small, sustainable adjustments over time. Simple steps like incorporating more whole foods into your diet, moving more, prioritising rest and sleep, and managing stress can have profound impacts.
Moreover, embracing preventive healthcare measures, such as regular check-ups and screenings, plays a crucial role in early detection and management of potential health issues.
Conclusion
The question of what price we put on our health is not just rhetorical. It's a call to action.
It serves as a poignant reminder of the significance of our daily choices.
As we navigate the challenges of modern life, let us strive not for temporary fixes or the acceptance of sub-standard health, but for the optimisation of our well-being. For in the end, the greatest wealth is health, and its value is truly beyond measure.
In a world that often prioritises productivity over well-being, it's vital to remember that taking care of one's health is not just a personal investment, but a societal imperative.
Each day presents a new opportunity to make choices that bring us closer to optimised health or push us further into the realm of normalisation. Between the two, lies the path we choose to walk—a path that leads to either a compromised existence or a life brimming with vitality and fulfilment.
As we navigate this journey, let's remember that the ultimate investment is in ourselves.
The dividends? A richer, fuller, and healthier life.
The decision to prioritise our well-being is perhaps the most important one we'll ever make. After all, what higher price is there than the one we pay for our health?
What are you doing each and every day that ENHANCES your health?
And what are you doing that DEPLETES your health?
Not sure? Isn't it time you found out?! Isn't it time you invested - before it's too late?
