Wellness means continuous flourishing more without neglecting the bare minimum. It helps and encourages us to make the most out of our lives. It is about making the right choices for ourselves and an ongoing pursuit towards the optimal quality of life.
Some of us probably thought that wellness is just our overall physical, mental, and emotional health. In reality, it is more than that. It is more than eating well, increasing mindfulness, and being positive.
Here are the different dimensions of wellness:
Physical - this involves enriching your physical well-being through adequate nutrition, physical activity, proper sleep, etc.
Mental - this means keeping your mind sharp through mentally-stimulating activities such as puzzles, learning, and problem-solving activities.
Emotional - this is to give room for us to understand, to be understood, to create boundaries, and express ourselves.
Occupational- this is wherein we find personal meaning and fulfillment in the work we do.
Social- this is how we create meaningful connections and engagements with others and our communities.
Environmental- Promoting positive interdependence between human activities, choices, well-being, and global health.
As much as it is ideal to give ample attention to each aspect, we mustn’t forget that wellness shouldn’t be stressful. There is no set deadline for achieving it.
Some habits can be hard to drop. Adjustments have to be made. Changes do not happen overnight. It’s alright to take it easy and take baby steps.
