WELLNESS?

WELFARE?
Wellness is a modern word with ancient roots. The central principles of well-being, both preventive and comprehensive, come from ancient civilizations from the East (India, China) to the West (Greece, Rome). In 19th-century Europe and the United States, various intellectual, religious, and medical movements developed alongside traditional medicine. With a focus on holistic and natural approaches, self-healing and preventive care, these movements laid a solid foundation for wellness today. Health-centered and holistic categories have become more visible since the 1960s and 1970s in the writings and thought leadership of an informal network of American physicians and thinkers (such as Halbert Dunn, Jack Travis, Don Ardell, Bill Hettler, and others) . As they evolved, spread, and became mainstream, they informed the healthy lifestyles, self-care, self-care, exercise, nutrition, diet, and spiritual practices that have become a thriving wellness movement in the 21st century.
Wellness is the daily practice of healthy habits to achieve better physical and mental health outcomes so you can thrive instead of survive.
To understand the meaning of wellness, it is important to understand how it relates to health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Several key areas of your lifestyle are considered dimensions of overall well-being. These include: social connection, exercise, nutrition, sleep and attention. Each has an impact on physical and mental health. By making simple, healthy choices every day, you'll be on your way to reducing stress, having positive social interactions, and achieving optimal well-being.
Start with small changes in each dimension and take it one day at a time - you don't have to run a marathon or follow a restrictive diet to bring wellness into your everyday life! We have created some examples for each dimension.
Physical:
Nurturing a healthy body through exercise, nutrition, sleep and more. Mental:
Engaging the world in learning, problem solving, creativity, etc.
Emotional:
Acknowledge, accept and express one's own feelings and understand the feelings of others. Spiritual: The search for purpose and a higher purpose in human existence.
Social:
Connect and interact with others and our communities in meaningful ways. Environment: Promoting positive relationships between planetary health and human actions, choices and well-being. Holism:
your health and well-being are the result of the continuous interaction of the many natural dimensions of life and well-being. Each dimension is related to the others. The goal is to realize yourself as a complete and whole person and to live life as fully as possible.
Balance:
recognizing the ever-changing nature of your life, you try to balance it by paying attention to every dimension. Lack of adequate attention to any dimension leads to less than optimal development as a person and can potentially lead to chronic unhappiness. Own responsibility:
a healthy person takes responsibility for their own health and happiness and does not let others control the decisions they have to make themselves. Self-responsibility requires self-awareness, including the process of becoming increasingly aware of the causes and consequences of one's behavior.
Positive and proactive:
well-being primarily requires positive perspectives and values ​​for living. It also requires a strong sense of purpose and conscious, deliberate action. These are our default assumptions and they have held up well over time. But they only provide a simple framework. What you put in this frame is entirely up to you.
