Physical Wellness


    Physical wellness is about the body; how we take care of this one body we were given.  This dimension of wellness addresses the food we eat, the activity we get, how we manage our health, and even personal hygiene.  Physical wellness relies on habit more than any of the other dimensions.  As you begin this first week of 2012, ask yourself what habits you may need to acquire or break to better serve you in your journey to live your best life.

  • I have the energy to do the things I want to do.

  • I eat a diet that consists of fruits and vegetables along with whole grains. I choose lean cuts of meat, poultry or fish.   
  • I limit the amount of fat, salt, sugar and alcohol in diet.
