WHAT IS WELLNESS?

Wellness refers to the overall sense of well being that accompanies optimal health. Health is the state of complete physical, mental, and social well being not merely the absence of disease (WHO).

Wellness is first and foremost a choice to assume responsibility for the quality of your life. It begins with a conscious decision to shape a healthy lifestyle. Wellness is a mindset, a predisposition to adopt a series of key principles in varied life areas that lead to high levels of well-being and life satisfaction.

Wellness is an alternative to dependency on doctors and drugs, to complacency, to mediocrity and to self-pity, boredom and slothfulness.

The areas most closely affected by your wellness commitments include self-responsibility, exercise and fitness, nutrition, stress management, critical thinking, meaning and purpose in life, spirituality, emotional intelligence, humor and play and effective relationships.
