What is wellness?

How to accomplish wellness can vary based on your individual likes and dislikes. Wellness comes from a state of wellbeing and requires an overall sense of satisfaction in your life. It's more of a state-of-mind that comes from seeing the possibilities and having a sense of hope.

In general our society is suffering from a lack of wellness. Everyone focuses on what is wrong and on what they do not have. This is not wellness.

If for example you start to shift your thoughts from what you do not have to the blessings in your life you will begin to feel better. From here you may then feel more relaxed and as the tension leaves you can then begin to focus on other self improvements that interest you.

If you then include goals to improve your physical fitness such as exercise or nutritional changes then you will feel even better. There is so much marketing for different products it can get confusing but you can keep it very simple. Make one positive change like taking a short walk or having an apple instead of a candy bar each day. Little changes are easier and are more likely to become long lasting life style changes. Then you can set more goals later on if you want.

Our country deserves a better healthcare system. And it must start with each and every one of us. Take care of your health. You can do it. No one else can.
