Introduction
Wellness and wellbeing have been the main talking points since the pandemic entered our lives. In fact, Wellness activities were the most searched words on the internet in 2022. These searched words included nutrition, fitness, travel, mindfulness, hobby crafting, outdoor activities, and sleep.

Many of us have suddenly picked up or rediscovered the joys of a certain Wellness activity that we now associate with self-care and wellbeing. We are slowing down to be present to smell the roses and be more aware and appreciative of our?surroundings and the relationships we keep.
The Wellness Bucket Analogy
Wellness activities contribute to elevating our wellbeing. If we see our lives as a bucket, then the water level in the bucket is our state of wellbeing. The Wellness activities we engage in would be the cups of water that continue to fill our bucket. And the stress that we experience on a daily basis from different domains of our life represents the holes in the bucket, which will drain us of our wellbeing. How we cope with the leaks in the bucket would be dependent on the number of holes (ie. stressors) we have in life, and also what we do on a regular basis to keep our wellbeing topped up.
Stress is inevitable. It is how we cope by continuing to consciously identify what will fill our wellness bucket, that keeps us optimised and resilient all through the uncertain future.?
