What Is Wellness?

Wellness and well-being are the pursuit of lifestyle activities and choices that lead to a state of holistic health. It is a holistic approach to health that emphasizes the importance of mental, physical, and social well-being. Here are six holistic health gems from black women in wellness to follow and draw inspiration from.

Wellness is not just about being free from illness or injury; it is about living a fulfilling and meaningful life. It is about making choices that promote our overall health and well-being.

There are many different dimensions of wellness, including:

• Physical wellness: This includes taking care of our bodies by eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, taking daily supplements, and getting enough sleep.
• Mental wellness: This includes taking care of our minds by managing stress, developing coping skills, and building positive relationships.
• Emotional wellness: This includes being aware of and managing our emotions and developing a positive outlook on life.
• Social wellness: This includes building and maintaining healthy relationships with others and feeling connected to our community.
• Spiritual wellness: This includes finding purpose and meaning in life and developing a connection to something larger than ourselves.

Wellness Is A Lifestyle Choice 

Wellness is a journey, not a destination, because it is about making choices that promote our overall health and well-being on a daily basis. Here are some examples of wellness activities:

• Eating a healthy diet
• Adding supplements to our routine based on our individual needs
• Exercising regularly
• Getting enough sleep
• Managing stress
• Developing coping skills
• Building positive relationships
• Finding purpose and meaning in life
• Connecting with something larger than ourselves

Choosing a more holistic lifestyle can help us to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. A well-being mindset encourages us to be more mindful in our careers and relationships while coping with stress more effectively. Wellness is a personal journey, and it is up to you to show up for yourself. Stick around and play the long game in life by integrating wellness into your daily routine.
