 DEFINING
Welness
Wellness is the act of consistently practicing healthy habits to
achieve better physical and mental health results, so you prosper
while living, rather than just living.

According to The World Health Organization, wellness is " a state

of complete physical mental, and social well-being, and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity."

Similarly, the National Wellness Institute defines wellness as a

conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full
potential."
 DEFINING
Welness
Maintaining an optimal level of wellness is utterly essential to a
better quality of life Wellness matters as everything we do and
every emotion we feel is connected to our well- being. Our well-
being, in effect, strongly influences our behavior and emotions. It's
like in a constant loop. Thus, all of us need to reach optimal
wellness to decrease tension, reduce the likelihood of illness, and
ensure positive relationships.
