4 Areas of Wellness

 4 Areas of Wellness: 

Wellness is more than just living without illness. It incompases a variety of healthy habits that together create a sense of wholeness and awareness. With this awareness individuals can make choices towards a more successful and fulfilling life journey. It is common that if one of these dimensions is missing or falls short, that imbalance causes pain and discomfort in other areas. My goal is to stay HAPPY, BALANCED, POSITIVE and PURPOSEFUL.  

Here is a break down on a few areas of wellness that this site will focus on: 

Physical- Maintaining a sound substantial body through regular exercise, proper nutrition, sleeping well and avoiding harmful habits. Maintaining a consistent well-rounded exercise program is crucial to physical wellness.

Mental and Emotional- Being in touch with your emotional presence and being aware and comfortable with your own thoughts and feelings able to absorb those of others. Intellectual: Being able to engage in lively interaction with the world around you. The intellect is about flexing the mind’s muscle and opening the mind. One’s intellectual being is about continued learning, problem solving, processing and creativity. Intellectual wellness involves connecting with others on a cerebral level.

Social (Relationships and Spiritual)- relating, interacting and communicating well with others.  Social wellness is also about being comfortable in your own skin to be able to contribute and engage in a healthy living environment. This category also includes spiritual wellness which is having a sense that life is meaningful and has a purpose and that we are guided in our journey.

Intellectual and Environmental - Surrounding yourself with a healthy work and living environment free of hazards and focused on the role we play in the bigger world around us.  Environmental wellness is about respecting nature and your surroundings and in gaining personal fulfillment from our surroundings.

" Wellness is a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential."

"By embracing these dimensions you are better equipped to manage the complexities and spontaneity that life presents to us. When one or more dimensions are jeopardized, the others play a greater role to balance out the compromised dimension(s)."
