61 to 75 points Excellent. Wow! Not too many people score this high so you deserve a
pat on the back. Your score indicates that you take care of yourself
physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. You have a supportive
social network and your job suits you. You're probably a positive role model
and inspiration for others around you. Keep up the great work!
46 to 60
points Good. Okay, so you wouldn't call yourself a wellness guru, but you're
still doing as well or better than most Americans today. Perhaps there are
one or two components of wellness that really need your attention, or maybe
you could stand to be just a bit more consistent with your choices all
around. With a little conscious effort, you can easily reach your full
potential.
31 to 45 points Average. Like many people today, some parts of your health and
wellness are up to par, and others are not. The good news is that you are
taking care of yourself and your life in some ways, and you can improve the
other components if you really want to. Start by reviewing the statements
for which you checked "always" or "usually" and ask yourself what it is that
enables you to care for yourself in those areas. What personal strengths or
outside support do you rely on to excel with those components of wellness?
Can you use similar strengths or support to improve the others?
16 to 30 points Below average. Many of the important components of yourself and your
life are suffering. If you'd like to improve your score it's important to
remember to take things slowly, one step at a time. Review the statements
for which you checked "sometimes" or "never" and decide which one or two you
would like to focus on first. Often times, making changes in one area of
your life leads to change in others!
15 or less points Poor. If you scored in this range, there's a good possibility you are
actually feeling unhealthy, inside and out, as many or all components of
your wellness are suffering. Often times, people who score in this range
would like to improve their lives but they feel overwhelmed and unsure where
to start. If this sounds like you consider choosing one or two statements
from the quiz that you would like to improve first, and put your energy
there. Remember that any improvement is better than no improvement. Once you
get started, you will likely find that improving one small are of yourself
or your life inspires you to continue changing.
