The 3D Wellness Blog


Welcome to the all new Rough-Fit With-U 3D Wellness Blog.


Why 3D? Because anything three dimensional is complex. Achieving wellness is multi-faceted and most of us tend make it complex.


From a foundational perspective, the physical layer, to the mental and spiritual layers, all three are dynamic. Your first D - Dynamic. Everything in our lives is fluid and we have to develop skills and tools to help us operate in an environment of ebbs and flows.

In today's environment staying the course of wellness requires determination. Your second D - Determination. Someone who is successful at wellness is generally very persistent, has tremendous perserverance and is usually well prepared. These are characteristics that can be learned and enhanced - they are key to the success of long term wellness.

The third D I chose was "doer". One has to act upon intention. You can't be full of good ideas and expect them to come to fruition without action. You have to be a "doer". You have to be honest about your commitment to yourself and follow through with purposeful action. You can not wait for someone to do things for you. You need to take owernship of your wellness and become a "doer". Your 3rd D - "Doer". As a doer, you need to have a Plan of Goals (POG's) to help you take baby steps towards your goal.

There are countless more D's - dishevelled, dishonesty, distracted, distraught, depressed, dithery, dislike, dillydally, dreadful, dunghill and dodo! These are not the D words that I'd like to read about. Most commonly in the pursuit of wellness, I hear the following D words:

Derailed - this implies a legitimate excuse for why wellness has gone to hell in a hand basket. Uh, no I don't think so - No Excuses should be our motto!

Despondent - or "I'm in a funk" - what exactly does this mean. Casimir Funk from Poland coined this phrase. As a biochemist he determined that several diseases were caused by dietary deficiencies - I kid you not. So if you're in a funk, you need to rachet up your diet to give you a kick in the booty!

Disconnected - this is a huge opportunity for so many of us. We disconnect with our bodies, minds and others and end up feeding our souls and beings junk. We need to connect more fully with our lives and learn how we're abusing our bodies when we feed it with junk! Additionally, we need to connect and absorb how we feel when we are being good to ourselves. This allows us to build on the great things we're doing to enhance our wellness.


These are the D words that I don't want to read about.


For the first quarter of the 3D Wellness Blog, I've selected the following 3D authors. They are:
Denise - my sister who is on a mission to get healthy and dance on a wall with me on her 50th Birthday in November.

Dee Ann - a successful trial attorney who is determined to make this year all about her.

Debbie - who's a wealth of knowledge and her journey is taking that knowledge and putting it into practice.


All three will post to the Blog about their weekly D's and more. All three use POG's to help them map out their solutions. They're doers who, with determination, will learn to manage the dynamic nature of life!
