Program outcome 5: Demonstrate awareness and skills to sustain personal health and well-being.
Health promotion begins at home. As a leader, I should be able to model a good quality of life. This does not need to be done with material things, but in how your attitude towards events is expressed. This paper on the 50 joys in my life demonstrates my attitude towards life in a limited way. A list of 50 things only gives a glimpse into the skills and attitudes that we use on a daily basis to keep ourselves healthy. At the same time making this list also demonstrated our awareness of our own well-being. As a general rule, I now believe that we all should make this type of list at least yearly, to remind ourselves of the attitudes we want to engage in with this world. If I follow these simple 50 joys, I would be very healthy indeed. This is a paper that I should print out and laminate to hang on my bathroom mirror to keep in my awareness how simple it is to sustain my personal health to the degree that I would like and have a great quality of life.
