What is Wellness?

Wellness according to Webster.com: "\ˈwel-nəs\ n. the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal"

Often you may think the concept of wellness only applies to the physical being, but I believe there are multiple dimensions to complete wellness.

• Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards living a more healthy and fulfilling life.
• It is a choice to assume responsibility for the quality of your life.
• Wellness is an alternative to dependency on doctors and drugs, to complacency, to mediocrity and to self-pity, boredom and slothfulness.

Let's look at the things that make up complete wellness:

Mental - emotional and intellectual development

Physical - the health of your body

Financial - stewardship of your resources

Spiritual - connection with God

Career - fulfilling and purposeful work

Social - ease in social situations

Family - harmony in your home
