​
looking back...
Taking a review of the past months of 2018, I believe that one area of our lives we would want to build up on is our WELLNESS. “HEALTH IS WEALTH” indeed.
​
Wellness could be defined as a general feeling of wellbeing, good physical, emotional, mental, social, relational health and fitness . It’s usually more about the whole being and body in general and not focusing on just one particular aspect.
​
Wellbeing model (by Mary Jo Kreitzer, RN, PhD, FAAN
Director, Center for Spirituality & Healing ) explains what wellbeing really means . It’s a state of balanced alignment with your body, mind and spirit.
The major aspects of wellbeing as indicated on the Wellbeing Model are: Health, relationships, security, Purpose, community and Environment.
With little practice and changes to our lifestyles we can improve our health and wellbeing for the better.
