Mental wellness
Being as healthy as body in mind as we are able to, and taking small, incremental steps to improve those factors that influence our daily sense of wellness. This is key to making long-term change with healthy lifestyles.
Healthy body, healthy mind
Being as healthy as possible in our mind and body, and actively seeking steps in order to achieve this. This is key to the idea of wellness. What factors and influences personal wellness will be different for everyone as we all work within our own possibilities and limitations. Emotional, physical, intellectual, environmental, financial, occupational, social, spiritual factors… pretty much anything you encounter in your daily life has the possibility to influence your sense of wellness.
Self care
On an aeroplane, one of the first things you are taught is that if something should happen to cause oxygen masks to come down, you have to put on your own before tending to someone else. That’s because you can’t be of use to others if you can’t help yourself. The same is true of self-care. Taking time out for yourself on a daily basis, and finding the balance between what you need and what others need of you is so important to your wellbeing.
