Are you ready to get on the easy path to better wellness?

The words health and wellness are marketed all over the place! And while the word health is generally well understood, the word wellness is not. Why? Have you any idea?

In this post, I’m going to cover the truth about wellness, including what it is and why it’s important. I’m also going to review the dimensions of wellness in my next posts.

“Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth.”

Wellness is important because it impacts so many areas of life. Honestly, everyone wants to live their life to the fullest potential. Unfortunately, this is not easy. Life often comes with challenges and things we can’t control. Fortunately for you, optimizing your overall well being is something you can. Upon doing so, you’ll notice significant benefits, both personally and professionally.

To understand the significance of wellness, it’s important to understand how it's linked to health.

Health: “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

The word wellness may appear complex. I’m here to tell you it shouldn’t be. In a nutshell, you should think of wellness as a series of positive choices you make to live your life to the fullest!

It is important to be aware that wellness is an intentional, ongoing and holistic approach to making healthy choices for in eight major areas of life functioning.  

Remember that wellness is not simply the absence of illness or stress, but a broad practice of internal and external behaviors even when experiencing challenges. 

Putting wellness into practice means striving to be well overall.
