The Health & Wellness Archetype framework describes how you react to challenges when making and developing new wellness habits.

Your personalized Archetype Wellness Action Plan helps you understand how to harness your energy and make the most progress. By working with—rather than against—your natural tendencies, you’ll be more likely to stick with your health habits and achieve your goals more easily! 

By working with your archetype, you can create a healthier life with less stress and more success! Read on to learn more about your Archetype.

PEOPLE PLEASER

I tend to put others’ wants and needs first, even if it means sacrificing myself.

SOCIAL BUTTERFLY

I get discouraged without a team, both to support me, and for me to support as well.

OPTIMIZER

My need to research and make the “right” choice often paralyzes me.

TESTER

I’ve tried so many things that haven’t worked, I now doubt anything will work.

FIRECRACKER

I’m off to a quick start but soon burn out in motivation.

Here’s What It Means to Be a

OPTIMIZER:

Optimizers are the quintessential researchers. They immerse themselves in books,
podcasts, blog posts and videos before making a decision. They know all the latest health
trends but have yet to actually start a program because they’re still not sure which is the
“right” one! Their quest for information can actually become a barrier to action.

You love information—often at the expense of action! The phrase “analysis paralysis”
was made for you because your quest for knowledge masks your fear of making a mistake.
You want to make sure you’re making the right choice, but because there is no end to knowledge,
you can get stuck, paralyzed by uncertainty.

When it comes to your health, that may mean:

  • You can’t start a new health program until you’re sure it’s  the “right” one.
  • You know all the details of the keto, vegan, Whole 30 and paleo diets but you haven’t actually tried any of them.
  • You’d rather make no decision at all than take the risk of making the “wrong” decision.
  • The hardest part about sticking to a new eating plan is wondering if you should have chosen a different one.
  • You have trouble committing to any new habit because you want to make sure it’s the best one for you.

The challenge here is clear: If you never commit to a plan of action, you’ll never achieve your goals.

But all is not lost! The key to sustained success is to work WITH your Optimizer archetype. Use your desire to make the right decision to your advantage.

ACTIONS

  • Remind yourself that the ultimate goal is to make progress towards living healthier, not to choose the “perfect” program.

  • Set a deadline for researching. Once you reach the deadline, make a decision and take action.

  • Give yourself permission to start imperfectly WHILE you continue to research.

  • Use small challenges to break the analysis paralysis. Think of them as experiments and give yourself permission to play.

  • When you feel overwhelmed by information, pretend you’re advising a trusted friend who needs to make a decision fast. What would you advise them based on the information you currently have?

MANTRAS

“Progress, not perfection.”

“I don’t have to get it perfect to get started.”
