Health and Wellness
May 31, 2015
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy
life which is a complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Wellness deals with
emotional and spiritual not only physical. Being healthy means you have a slight chance of
catching any illness. Wellness is a conscious choice; you have to motivate yourself and
have self-discipline. Choosing to improve your health and wellness you are encouraging
good health and decreasing your chance of having a disease that includes emotional and
physical factors. With wellness, an individual has to take action to the definition of health.
In order for an individual to have a healthier lifestyle, they have to be willing to create the
proper environment. The individual has to understand the body is a three dimensional
being which includes mind, body, and soul. There is no easy way to have a healthy
lifestyle, but the journey will be worth it. Wellness is a way of life; you have to establish a
balanced lifestyle to accomplish your potential for well-being. Health and happiness are
possible in wellness, but you have to have an understanding that there is no ending. With
being physical, you have to encourage yourself to do regular physical activity, gain
knowledge about food, nutrition, and medical care. You have to consume food and
beverages that will enhance our health instead of toxins that will compromise our health
and well-being.
My overall health and wellness is not at its worst, but it can definitely be better than what
it is. I need to educate myself more on food, nutrition, and medical care. I, also, need to be
more physically active. I do consume healthier food and beverages even though I do not
exercise.
