Is there a definition of wellness? The word wellness is in the news, on social media, in blogs, in books, on billboards, and in conversation. Many people refer to a “welfare state” which is vague to say the least. The loose definition of well-being and well-being implies ‘a state of acceptance or satisfaction with one’s condition or conditioning, that is, what one accepts, tolerates, ignores, fakes, confronts or fights against.

Wellness has become the latest buzzword with little understanding of what wellness is or how to create it. Interestingly, the Federal Drug Administration, the American Medical Association, or the American Pharmaceutical Association have failed to come up with a definition of wellness. There is, however, a set of criteria and characteristics that is a precise definition of people, who live their lives free from disease, dysfunction, chaos, anguish, discomfort, drama or trauma.

Wellness is a natural state of being, not an option that someone must decide or a choice that is made only after the mind, body and spirit are in extreme decline. Wellness is your birthright; purpose of life and a way of life. You were designed to be healthy. All aspects of human existence (mind, body, and spirit) play an important role in maintaining the health of human existence, provided the system is adequately supported emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Well-being is a multidimensional state of being that describes the existence of positive health exemplified by quality of life and a sense of wholeness. Wellness is the active process of becoming aware and making decisions towards an empowered and successful life. The dimensions of well-being include: Emotional; Environmental; Financial; Intellectual; Mental; Occupational; Social; Spiritual; and Physical.

The concise definition of wellness is:

• Know my needs and work to achieve them.
• Express and communicate feelings; including what I am experiencing.
• Act assertively – without passivity or aggression.
• Follow a healthy eating (nutrition) plan for my blood type. – Avoid junk food, GMOs, pharmaceuticals and medical pills, potions and cut-out body parts.
• Take care of my physical health on a daily basis – Natural foods, avoid processed foods, natural remedies – discover the root cause and eliminate it; instead of treating the symptoms.
• Keep my body weight within the BMI for my height and body frame.
• Engage in appropriate exercise and build physical endurance.
• Participate in meaningful activities and projects that reflect my most important values.
• Love myself unconditionally above all else.
• Love others unconditionally.
• Create and cultivate close relationships with family and friends.
• Respond to life’s challenges as opportunities to grow emotionally and spiritually, instead of seeing only problems and work.
• Create my ideal life instead of reacting to ‘what happens’, ie avoiding believing that ‘shit happens’.
• See everything as an opportunity to learn and grow.
• Trust in myself as my personal resource and my greatest strength to live and grow
• Experiencing myself and others moment by moment: Avoid worrying about the future or regretting the past.

Well-being is the state of being fully alive with a sense of accomplishment; responding appropriately rather than reacting to life and circumstances. Well-being is the act of staying calm and focused while working things out with unconditional love. Ultimately, your personal character; personal strength and courage will evolve. Achieving wellness requires you to make healthy choices regarding nutrition, social contact, work, exercise, leisure, and relationships. I wish you the best on your journey.
