WHAT IS WELLNESS?

The word wellness is often used as an all-encompassing term that represents good health and mindful living. Even though we all use this word without a second thought, the actual core concept really does deserve more elaboration. According to the National Wellness Institute (NWI), wellness is “an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence.” To further illuminate this definition, NWI describes wellness as having six dimensions, which are:

  • Emotional

  • Intellectual

  • Occupational

  • Physical

  • Social

  • Spiritual

EMBRACING WELLNESS

Wellness is a holistic approach to health that encompasses physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. It's more than just the absence of illness; it's about actively making choices that promote a healthy and fulfilling life. Prioritizing wellness is essential for maintaining a strong immune system, preventing chronic diseases, and improving overall quality of life. Engaging in regular physical activity, eating a balanced diet, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and cultivating positive relationships are all key components of a well-rounded wellness approach.
