The World Health Organization uses a brilliant definition of health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However most people, including myself for a while, focused on eliminating diseases and discomfort for my clients. So what can I do to move from the disease focused treatments to a more health focused treatments is one of the questions I started asking myself over the last few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the disease, pain or discomfort is away, there is still more to achieve, right? So why not help the client move towards that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to focus only on disease\/symptom prevention or reduction (either physically or emotionally). When the symptom was gone, the client was finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more I realized it, the more of a dis-service<\/strong> I was providing to the client. I can help them even to the next step of vitality<\/strong>. I was just not aware of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about you? Do you recognize this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have solved it, how are you working with your clients now differently? Share your experience in the comments below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the models that inspired me to start thinking of this was the salutogenesis <\/strong>model from Aaron Antonovsky. This model provided a different viewpoint for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He asked the same question I asked , but he asked it already much earlier. So either he is a brilliant man that he asked the same question I did, or I am brilliant that I asked the question again (hihih).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway.. the focus of salutogenesis is to promote health and wellness, NOT to prevent diseases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very different angle with quite a few implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually asking this question brings up quite a few different options and way of healing people to move towards a higher quality of live and living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My new model is presented in my new book  Unleash your Vitality<\/a>, but I will share it with you here. Looking forwards to reading your comments and ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life force Energy \u2013 The Vitality Pool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Imagine the vitality pool as a cup with water. The more water there is in the glass the healthier you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water is your life force energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vitality Drainers.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whenever there is a stressor<\/strong>, or a lack of nutrients<\/strong>, radiation<\/strong> or other health threat then there is a little (or a lot) of water removed from the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This not a problem. No problem at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what happens in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the people know that eating at McDonalds, Burger King, or any of those places is not the most healthiest place to have a stomach filling. Yet, I am still amazed that people can go in, eat a burger and walk out alive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some even do that multiple times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that was so bad for your health I would vote for building those places only very close to hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the stress level. I know people with huge levels of stress<\/strong>, and they still are free of noticeable symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trick is how much<\/strong> and how long<\/strong>. Taking a bit of water out of the vitality pool is fine and you will probably not even notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However when this happens over and over again<\/strong>, you will start noticing small discomforts, symptoms and eventually diseases when the glass is almost empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discomfort, symptoms and disease are a sign of emptying your vitality pool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vitality Boosters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately life is dynamic and you can refill your glass. When people are sick they are highly motivated to change their stress levels<\/strong>, nutrient levels<\/strong> etc to remove the symptoms. What they are actually doing is to add vitality to the vitality pool<\/strong>. They add health to their system, they add water to the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the vitality pool is refilled and the entire body restores itself easily from the symptoms. This is the true self-healing<\/strong> ability of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So basically there are 2 forces at hand here. Forces that reduce your vitality<\/strong> and forces thatincrease your vitality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
