What Is Wellness?
Wellness Is:
- Knowing what your real needs are and how to get them met;
- Expressing emotions in ways that communicate what you are experiencing to other people;
- Acting assertively, and not passively or aggressively;
- Enjoying your body by means of adequate nutrition, exercise, and physical awareness;
- Being engaged in projects that are meaningful to you and reflect your most important values;
- Knowing how to create and cultivate close relationships with others;
- Responding to challenges in life as opportunities to grow in strength and maturity, rather than feeling beset by “problems”;
- Creating the life you really want, rather than just reacting to what ‘seems to happen’;
- Relating to troublesome physical symptoms in ways that bring improvement in condition as well as increased knowledge about yourself;
- Enjoying a basic sense of well-being, even through times of adversity;
- Knowing your own inner patterns – emotional and physical – and understanding ‘signals’ your body gives you;
- Trusting that your own personal resources are your greatest strength for living and growing;
- Experiencing yourself as a Wonderful Person.
