‘Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.’
– J Stanford
Wellness
Wellness can mean different things to different people. It could mean working out and eating healthy so you have energy and vitality to carry out daily activities. It could be a morning routine of yoga and meditation to create calmness and prepare you for the day ahead. Or perhaps it’s scheduling a sauna session or chiropractic appointment to get you functioning at your best.
Wellness is looking after yourself and making choices everyday that nourish your body. Trusting your body and the signs it’s sending you. Being mindful of what you are consuming, not only food, but what you are reading, watching and listening to.
