Physical Wellness

Physical Wellness is integral for health and a part of the 7 Aspects of Wellness.  Physical Wellness involves a variety of activities that support your physical well-being.  Exploring Physical Wellness isn’t just about trying to lose weight, although that may be a part of your specific Physical Wellness plan.  For optimum Physical Wellness, everyone needs to practice good health habits that include eating a healthy diet, participating in regular exercise and physical activity, performing regular hygiene routines and getting adequate rest and relaxation.  Physical Wellness fosters a healthier body that is able to run more efficiently, and it also helps you feel better physically as you explore your health in other wellness aspects.

The importance of Physical Wellness and the effect it has on our Emotional Wellness has been known for years, but few people realize just how important Physical Wellness is to a balanced life.  Diet, exercise and rest have a profound effect on how we feel emotionally.  Exercise is also a great way for some people to connect to their Spiritual Wellness (e.g., practicing Yoga, Tai Chi, or another mind/body activity).  Exploring Physical Wellness together can help people build healthier relationships for Social Wellness, and going for walks outside will increase your Environmental Wellness, too.  Total health reaches far beyond Physical Wellness, but adequate Physical Wellness provides a good foundation for a whole and complete life.
