Introduction

Attaining optimal wellness is a process that revolves around the choices we make every day. Over time,
your daily choices may develop into habits, some of which can put your health and well-being at risk.
Living a healthy life is a journey that involves making choices that positively impact your health. As you
regularly make healthy choices, you may move toward higher levels of wellness on the Illness-Wellness
Continuum.

The first step of this journey is to identify your wellness priorities by completing the 12-section Wellness Index
in the Wellness Workbook. Answer the questions in each section of the Wellness Index, score your results and
construct a Wellness Wheel based on your results, as illustrated in the Introduction of your book. Plan on
1-2 hours to complete the Wellness Index.

Outcomes

Identify and reflect on your personal wellness priorities and the behaviors associated with them.
