7 Roots of a Healthy Lifestyle
There are countless claims around products, diets, lifestyles, philosophies and tools that can supposedly extend the quality and quantity of one’s life, but much of the evidence is anecdotal and at best may help some and have little to no effect on others.
Therein rests the true intention of ROOTS Retreats: To honor the very personal nature of wellness and to provide you with some simple tools you may explore for yourself.
Wellness has many aspects. Movement is certainly a part of it, but equally Mental and Spiritual Health are incredibly important components. Nutrition and Hydration are really important, but these can’t overshadow the need for Stress Reduction and Mindfulness practices.

Wellness has many aspects. Movement is certainly a part of it, but equally Mental and Spiritual Health are incredibly important components. Nutrition and Hydration are really important, but these can’t overshadow the need for Stress Reduction and Mindfulness practices.
Zig Ziglar, an esteemed author and motivational speaker, had a famous infographic he called the “Wheel of Life”.
This wheel illustrated seven aspects of our lives that are meant to contribute to balanced succes
- Mental
- Spiritual
- Physical
- Family
- Financial
- Personal
- Career
What we love about this simple concept is the balanced nature of it. As Zig would explain, if you rate yourself really well on some of these spokes but not on others, your life is going to be out of balance. He has you imagine your wheel rolling down the road of life with some short spokes and some long spokes, and what a wonky ride it would be! A more literal example would be if you have a strong focus on Career, but don’t take care of your Physical or Mental health, you may not get to enjoy the benefits of the financial gains that come with career advancement.
It’s a pretty simple philosophy with significant implications.

Life coaches have adapted this wheel in many forms and the best known include: Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, Social, Environmental, Financial, and Spiritual elements.
As much as we love all these elements and feel they are pretty comprehensive, the ROOTS Philosophy includes some additional components that we see as fundamental to achieving ultimate wellness for you as an individual.
Zig suggested that balance is at the center of success. We believe it is equally true in the pursuit of wellness. When we place the individual spokes on our wheel of wellness, we are seeking to have each one of them be as long and strong as possible, but not to the detriment of other elements.
Here are the 7 ROOTS of a Healthy Lifestyle that complete our holistic view of wellness:
