What is Wellness?

“Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence.” National Wellness Institute

Wellness is multidimensional and includes eight dimensions: emotional, financial, social, spiritual, occupational, physical, intellectual, and environmental. Paying attention to all eight dimensions in our lives helps build a holistic sense of wellness.
