Spiritual and Physical Wellness Fun and Function Model
Ted Barlow's lifelong mission is to be well all of the time and to do this requires "staying in shape and being consistent in right ways." This philosophy has made his spiritual and physical wellness the strongest of his dimensions of wellness, although he continues to build on the other aspects of wellness. He reflects that this has been helpful throughout his life, because "life is less stressful when you strive for a sense of total wellness."
Ted's parents were his mentors growing up, and they taught him the value of honesty, socialization, and physical exercise. The way that you treat people is paramount; being compassionate to others fosters socialization, and a lifetime of outstanding friendships. Ted has enjoyed sports throughout his life as he played golf and made a regular habit of taking the time to walk and reflect. He comments that "keeping yourself in shape and spiritually sound is important and by your example you become a role model to others."
