What is Wellness?
Wellness
is a healthy balance of mind, body, and spirit. It is a dynamic process
involving the harmony of physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and
spiritual wellbeing. Each of these key components is instrumental in
the development of healthier living and maintaining a balanced
lifestyle. Wellness enables employees to function to the best of their
ability by providing opportunities of awareness and guidance in
practicing healthy choices.
Is Wellness important?
YES!
Wellness increases our chances of leading long and productive lives.
Every decision we make leads to future consequences – good or bad. For
example, if we choose to eat right and exercise, we are rewarded by
longevity and health. If we choose to eat poorly or engage in behavior
such as smoking, we experience the negative consequences associated with
our behaviors. Ultimately, it is a
conscientious decision by each of us to make the positive choices
necessary to improve our mental and physical health.
