What is a wellness lifestyle?
A wellness lifestyle is a way of thinking, perceiving, and behaving. When you live a wellness lifestyle, your life is integrated, balanced, harmonious, and pleasurable. Practicing good health and self-care habits allows you to live in harmony with yourself, your friends, your family, your work mates, with the planet and the Universe.
One of the pioneers of the wellness movement, Don Ardell, defines wellness as follows:
Wellness is first and foremost a choice to assume responsibility for the quality of your life. It begins with a conscious decision to shape a healthy lifestyle. Wellness is a mind set, a predisposition to adopt a series of key principles in varied life areas that lead to high levels of well-being and life satisfaction.
