Holistic Assessment - An Opportunity to Select One Item, Put a Plan Together for Change...See How You Can Increase Your Health and Well being By Starting Right Now
The following questions have been developed to assess your overall health from a physical, mental, energetic, and spiritual perspective. They come from 4 dimensions of functioning that will allow you to see yourself from a holistic perspective. Put a check by the sentences that are true. When you are finished, select one and only one item from the assessment and fill out your plan and the support you need for changing the item. Our computerized program will add up your totals and we will automatically send the totals back to you. We will also contact you for follow up on your plan unless you check that you do not want that.

Review the assessment and select one question that you would like to change. You can use this assessment as a way of focusing your energy and moving step by step to a fuller and more satisfying life. Be gentle and loving with yourself and move slowly but surely. The people that are successful in making lasting changes in their life usually decide on a goal, make a plan, underpromise when they set weekly objectives, get support, and move little by little toward their goal. See the setbacks in your progress as a way to learn how you limit yourself and think of them as things that come up to be healed. Work with a health coach if that is helpful. Acknowledge and reward yourself with each awareness and step. Remember that the turtle won the race.
