Wellness is the Foundation for Fulfilment and Success
As individuals with personal goals, we each interpret success differently. But, no matter who you are, what your goals maybe and how you decide to define success, one thing holds true - a healthy mind and body is essential if you want to lead a truly successful life.
If you eat poorly, never exercise, sleep too much or too little, carry excess weight or simply make poor food choices, you’re likely to decrease your energy and struggle to get the results you desire. Furthermore, if you’re a parent, or grandparent, you’ll want plenty of energy to keep up with the children in your life too. One of the first steps you should consider is improving your diet and getting some exercise. Once your energy increases, everything else becomes much easier.
Wellness is the State of Being Healthy
Wellness is the realisation of our true potential to live a healthier, happier and more successful existence. Wellness is a state of optimal well-being that is oriented toward maximizing an individual's potential. Wellness involves the awareness of our current state of health in multiple dimensions with the initiative, tools and support to make lasting changes towards a more optimal life.
The primary top-level dimensions of wellness are: mental, physical, spiritual, social and lifestyle. Each primary dimension of wellness includes multiple sub-dimensions:
The mental dimension of wellness includes developing a healthy personal philosophy, maintaining a learning aptitude and establishing a base of useful knowledge.
The physical dimension of wellness includes our overall physical health, physical fitness and appearance. Starting with physical health, a wellness approach would not be to simply avoid sickness and disease, but to know that our health is always fleeting and our body's always under attack.
The spiritual dimension of wellness includes becoming aware of our life's purpose, developing our innate gifts and using our talents in a positive way and getting in touch with our spirituality. Operating "on purpose" and using our talents can be spiritually lifting and tremendously positive as compared to merely getting by, pleasing others, or surviving.
The social dimension of wellness includes the careful creation and maintenance of healthy and positive relationships, our contribution and involvement in the community and our impact on our surroundings or environment at large.
The lifestyle dimension of wellness includes our work and workplace, our leisure time and our home environment. As most of us will spend more than half our lives at work, what we do at work matters immensely to our wellness.
Reaching a particular level of health and life satisfaction that we defined for ourselves in each dimension could also be considered as achieving wellness. It is different for everyone.
Enjoy a Wellness-Orientated Lifestyle
Wellness has traditionally been viewed as freedom from disease; consequently, if you were not sick, you were considered healthy and enjoying wellness. This perspective is changing. While everyone agrees that the absence of illness is one part of being healthy, it doesn’t indicate whether you are in a state of well-being.
Wellness is not the mere absence of disease. It is a proactive, preventive approach designed to achieve optimum levels of health, social and emotional functioning. Wellness can also be defined as an active process through which you become aware of and make choices toward a more successful existence.
A wellness-oriented lifestyle encourages you to adopt habits and behaviors that promote better health and an improved quality of life. It also involves the recognition that you have physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs, with each dimension being necessary for optimal levels of functioning. Wellness is a positive approach to living – an approach that emphasizes the whole person. It is the integration of the body, mind, and spirit; and the appreciation that everything you do, think, feel, and believe has an impact on your state of health.
