“If you have your health, you have everything!”
What is wellness?
Wellness is first and foremost a choice to assume responsibility for the quality of your life. It begins with a conscious decision to shape a healthy lifestyle. Wellness is a mindset, a predisposition to adopt a series of key principles in varied life areas that lead to high levels of well-being and life satisfaction.
A consequence of this focus is that a wellness mindset will protect you against temptations to blame someone else, make excuses, shirk accountability, whine or shirk away in the face of adversity.
Wellness is an alternative to dependency on doctors and drugs, to complacency, to mediocrity and to self-pity and boredom.
