Wellness is "the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health" (Global Wellness Institute).
Furthermore, wellness is multidimensional, focusing on diverse areas of health including:
- Physical wellness: caring for your physical health
- Mental or intellectual wellness: caring for your mind through learning
- Emotional wellness: caring for your emotions and understanding your feelings
- Spiritual wellness: caring for your need to find meaning and purpose in life, as well as connection with God
- Social wellness: caring for your relationships and community
- Environmental wellness: caring for our surroundings, including the natural environment (nature/climate/air), social environment (interactions with society and issues like racism or bullying), and our local environment (living conditions, access to resources like food/water/shelter)
