What is Wellness?
Personal
wellness occurs when one commits to the
lifelong process of developing a life style based on healthy
attitudes and behaviors. There are seven primary areas of
wellness:
Physical
(fitness, activities..)
Occupational
(leisure, financial..)
Intellectual (how
we learn, acquiring and applying knowledge)
Social (family,
peers, community..)
Emotional (how we
deal with emotions, finding our trigger points)
Spiritual
(Values, ethics..)
Environmental
Wellness
is connecting the seven principles to enhance the quality of
life and maximize personal potential.
