Wellness Defined

What does wellness mean to you?  Halbert Dunn (the man who coined the word wellness) describes wellness as a holistic approach to health, encompassing the whole person.  He also tells us that wellness is about potentialit involves helping the individual move toward the highest state of well-being of which he/she is capable.  I would add to that by saying that wellness is the whole person- the whole life.  

 
As you read over each dimension you realize there are areas that are easy, and others that take more work.  I would like to spend the next few weeks describing each dimension in a bit more detail so that you can see where work may be needed in these areas for your own life; where the work needs to begin to live your best life. Stay tuned…
