What does wellness mean to you?

Every once in a while I like to find out what believe this community is for. Naturally the description says what it's intended to be, but we sometimes change it slightly based on member . Since we are nearing the end of 2020, I thought this would be a good time to ask for input.

Here's my concept of natural wellness. I believe that all these areas are interdependent and all are required for complete wellness.

Physical

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

This includes pretty much anything to do with the body - exercise, nutrition, and so on. Especially in the area of nutrition, I believe it's best to avoid supplements or products or workouts that claim rapid weight or fat loss, increased strength, etc. and stick with a lifestyle you can sustain indefinitely.

Emotional/Social

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

This includes anything to do with relationships and feelings. Wellness in this category can mean working out your differences in a relationship, caring for your own emotional health, helping a friend work through their feelings in a difficult situation, and many more.

Mental

To me, this refers to cognitive functions, such as brain disorders or learning new things. Wellness in this may include learning new skills, practicing increasing memory, and more.

Spiritual

I realize not everyone will agree with me on this one, but I believe spiritual wellness is also a part of total wellness. I believe that the spirit is that part of us that is beyond our human understanding, that exists in a real but unseen world. And if we neglect it, our overall wellness will suffer.

If anyone is wondering what my personal beliefs are, I believe in the Creator God of the Bible, and I believe the Bible is true as it is written. (This is why I keep the Bible Sabbath of sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, and am rarely online during that time.) If you're curious you can always DM me, but I won't force anyone to believe as I do, amd I don't judge people who believe differently.
