Wellness

"Wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you're thriving."

Wellness is not just a state of being physically healthy, but rather emotionally, spiritually, and mentally as well. Most models of wellness include at least 6 dimensions (and sometimes up to 9 or 12):

Physical: A healthy body through exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc.

Mental: Engagement with the world through learning, problem-solving, creativity, etc.

Emotional: Being in touch with, aware of, accepting of, and able to express one’s feelings (and those of others).

Spiritual: Our search for meaning and purpose in human existence.

Social: Connecting with, interacting with, and contributing to other people and our communities.

Environmental: A healthy physical environment free of hazards; awareness of the role we play in bettering rather than denigrating the natural environment.

In the next few subpages, we will be giving you the advice to achieve this state of wellness.
