EMBRACE THE MULTIFACETED NATURE OF WELLNESS
Wellness is the state of being healthy in all aspects of life, including: emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, financial, social, environmental, and spiritual well-being. Each dimension supports the others, creating a balanced foundation.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FAMILY HEALTH HISTORY
A family health history is a record of medical information about an individual and their relatives. Shared genetics, environments, and lifestyles can reveal patterns of conditions within families, helping healthcare professionals assess the risk of certain health issues for individuals and future generations.
CUT PROCESSED FOOD AND SUGAR
Processed foods often contain added sugars like high fructose corn syrup, which provide no essential nutrients but add many calories. Regularly consuming too much added sugar can also lead to compulsive overeating.
REVIEW AND DISCUSS YOUR HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Effective money management means meeting daily financial needs, handling unexpected expenses, and saving for the future. By controlling your finances, you reduce stress and boost security, allowing you to enjoy family life without constant money worries.
FOCUS ON GRATITUDE AND REFLECTION
Mental well-being is key to our happiness and success. It affects how we handle stress, build connections, and make decisions. When our minds are positive, we navigate challenges better and live more fulfilling, resilient lives. Prioritizing mental health helps us embrace life’s opportunities with confidence.

“Wellbeing is about the combination of our love for what we do each day, the quality of our relationships, the security of our finances, the vibrancy of our physical health, and the pride we take in what we have contributed to our communities. Most importantly, it’s about how these five elements interact.”
