What is Wellness?

Ever wondered what is wellness? I don't want to define it by writing those quotations that you will find in Google search or Wikipedia. Let's see if we can discover its meaning together. I will raise some questions, all you have to do is keep answering them in a 'yes' or 'no'. But remember listen to your inner voice and answer them. Lets begin…

• Have you heard people around you saying health is wealth?
• Has anyone ever told you not to slog yourself for your job as it takes a toll on your health?
• Have you ever heard that quality time spent with your family is your best medicine?
• Do you hear people saying that regular exercise is very important to live a long life?
• You are always told that emotional decisions are taken by heart and intelligent decisions by the mind?

If ayes outnumber no's, you have lot of well wishers around you who have been poking you often about it. However, more number of no's are alarming! Have you ever taken these people and their advice seriously? Well if the answer now is yes, great! However if it is no, you really need to walk the road to understanding what it is?

In my opinion wellness is a state of feeling HAPPY in every situation! you may be sailing in troubled waters or swimming in the gleam of sunshine, you need to be content at the end of the day. Some people say that wellness means a state of being well, here the reference is to the wellness of your inner self , the physical well being follows automatically. Lets say for example, every obese person fancies to have a body like a model! However he cannot shed those extra pounds by merely dreaming about it. There has to be an action to meet the goal. But their bodies have become so lazy that lifting bums to for a glass of water seems troublesome, forget about exercising.

Holistic well being begins by believing in the seven dimensions of  wellness:

• Emotional Wellness

• Environmental Wellness

• Intellectual Wellness

• Occupational Wellness

• Physical Wellness

• Social Wellness

• Spiritual Wellness

Balancing these dimensions leads to a happy and prosperous life. They help you in bouncing back to a normal life and focusing on the most important aspects of self worth.
