Map of Wellness
In today's fast-paced world, the importance of holistic wellness is often overshadowed by the demands of daily life. As the stressors increase, many individuals find it challenging to prioritize their personal well-being, leading to a range of physical, mental, and social health challenges.
Despite the wealth of wellness resources available, there exists a significant gap in engagement and application, signaling the need for an innovative approach to self-care and wellness.
What
Why
How
Map of Wellness is an interactive personal wellness game tailored to revolutionize the way individuals engage with self-care. By gamifying the wellness experience, it allows players to navigate a digital map segmented into four key life areas: Mind, Body, Relationships and Environment.
Within each area, players encounter challenges specific to that aspect of life. From nutritional tasks in the Body quadrant to compassion-focused activities in the Relationships quadrant, the game provides a comprehensive journey. Additionally, every challenge is paired with instructional and motivational resources to assist the player.
The primary motivation behind Map of Wellness is to bridge the gap between understanding the importance of wellness and actively engaging in self-care practices. Traditional approaches to wellness can be overwhelming, often leaving individuals unsure of where to start or how to proceed.
By presenting wellness in a gamified format, it adds an element of fun, motivation, and structure. This game not only educates players about various wellness aspects but also empowers them to incorporate these practices into their daily lives, enhancing overall well-being.
Map of Wellness addresses the prevalent disconnect in wellness engagement by transforming theoretical knowledge into actionable steps through its game mechanics.
Available on Miro, players begin at the basic level and gradually progress to advanced levels by successfully completing the challenges within each quadrant. With each challenge, players are provided with the necessary "how-to" instructions and inspiration, ensuring they're equipped with the tools and knowledge they need. This step-by-step approach ensures a gradual immersion into holistic wellness practices, making the journey more accessible and achievable for everyone.
In our fast-paced world, holistic wellness often takes a back seat to daily demands, leading to health and wellness challenges. Despite the abundance of resources, engagement remains low. It's time to bridge this gap in self-care and wellness, empowering individuals to prioritize their well-being.
Challenge Statement
How can we develop innovative approaches to empower individuals to prioritize and actively engage in holistic wellness in our fast-paced world, bridging the gap between available resources and their practical application to address physical, mental, and social health challenges effectively?
- Engagement Deficit: Traditional wellness and self-care resources, while abundant, often lack interactive engagement elements. Many individuals are aware of the importance of self-care but fail to actively incorporate it into their routines due to the monotony or overwhelming nature of available resources.
- Lack of Structured Guidance: With a plethora of wellness information available, individuals often feel lost, unable to discern where to start or how to proceed. This information overload can lead to inaction or superficial engagement.
- One-Size-Fits-All: Most wellness resources take a generalized approach, not accounting for the multifaceted nature of individual well-being. A holistic understanding encompasses various life areas, including mind, body, environment, and relationships.
- Integration Challenges: Even with an understanding of wellness practices, integrating them into daily life remains a challenge for many. The transition from theoretical knowledge to actionable steps often requires motivation, clarity, and a supportive framework.
- Gamified Engagement: By gamifying the wellness journey, individuals are more likely to stay engaged and motivated. The element of progress, self-mastery, and achievement keeps players invested.
- Structured Pathway: The digital map, divided into four key life areas, offers a clear pathway for individuals. Players can navigate through challenges methodically, ensuring they cover all facets of well-being.
- Holistic Approach: Recognizing the diverse aspects of individual well-being, challenges span across four key life areas: Mind, Body, Environment, and Relationships. This ensures a comprehensive and balanced engagement with personal wellness.
- Actionable Steps: Each challenge within the game is accompanied by detailed how-to instructions and motivational resources. This ensures players are not just informed but also equipped to integrate these practices into their daily routines.
