What is "Wellness"? Wikipedia explains wellness ( in regards to alternative medicine) as:
Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being.
The term has been defined by the Singapore-based National Wellness Association as an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence.... In other words, wellness is a view of health that emphasizes the state of the entire being and its ongoing development.
Wellness can also be described as "the constant, conscious pursuit of living life to its fullest potential."
In 2009, what parts of wellness do you think you need to work on? Do you have a plan to live a life of better wellness?
As the new year approaches, I hear a lot of resolutions about improved health for 2009 and a desire for people to be healthier. With weight loss being something that a lot of people set out to achieve at the beginning of every year, why is it that the following year we are still trying to achieve more weight loss or that we are not satisfied with the progress that we made with our weight loss plans? I have been guilty of saying that weight loss was one of my goals from year to year but not really making a dedicated effort to acheive my weight loss goals. However, in recent years I started really doing something about it in a "consistent" manner. I started making healthier lifestyle choices to help me achieve the wellness I desired. I just use weight loss as an example because of it's popularity but in the new year will you be dedicated to achieving whatever wellness goals you may have? In 2010 will you be in the same condition that you are now?
If you are happy with your current situation, I am very happy for you and I wish you continued success in maintaing where you are now. However, if you are not, will you take the neccesary steps to have a healthy balance of mind, body and spirit that result in an overall feeling of well-being? Will you try to eat better, become/stay physically active, get proper rest, reduce stress, improve/eliminate relationships, etc.?
I hope that 2009 brings everyone the wellness they desire and that we all take part in "the constant, conscious pursuit of living life to its fullest potential!" Remember the phrase, "patience is a virtue". Be patient, consistent and believe in yourself that you can achieve what you desire!
