Wellness Wednesday: Things to Think About

​I keep learning new things. I continue to evolve in my thinking about what wellness is and what it means to different people. Geez, humans are complex. And ever-changing.  

I think a first step is we need to BELIEVE that personal and community health matter and that it makes a difference.  I believe we need to actively pursue wellness, and find fun and simple ways to incorporate that thinking into our daily lives; stepping outside, breathing deeply, smiling to greet others, sipping a hot beverage, skipping (dare you), laughing, learning.  

Wellness is roughly defined today as POISSEE: Physical, Occupational, Intellectual, Social, Spiritual, Emotional, Environmental Health.
