I believe it’s important to let you know what wellness means to me before I dive into providing tips and advice to help you on your wellness journey.
The term “wellness” means different things to different people. However, for me, I believe wellness is an individual active pursuit. It’s choosing to make the right choices on a daily basis that will help lead us to a happy and healthy lifestyle. It’s about finding out what your mind, body, & soul needs to help you be the best version of yourself! However, wellness just doesn’t stop there. Wellness, in my opinion, has more of a whole-body (holistic) approach and includes the following: mental health, physical health, nutritional health, emotional health, spiritual health, financial health, and social health.
Starting our days with intention, how we think and engage the mind (i.e. reading, podcast, music, etc), moving our bodies, making good eating choices, getting proper rest, drinking water, attending annual checkups, surrounding ourselves with good company, being present at the moment, receiving body therapy, using good skin care, doing the things that you love, taking long walks, prayer and meditation, all of which are activities that can lead to being well and living a happy & healthy lifestyle.
To sum things up, wellness is all about taking care of YOU! The key is figuring out what wellness means to you and then, with intention, incorporating those activities into your daily lives in order to live the life you deserve and show up as your best self!
What does wellness mean to you? I encourage you to take a moment to think about this. No matter how you choose to define wellness I hope you’re taking time each day to prioritize YOU and your well-being so you can live your best life, one that is happy, healthy, and whole!
