Practice: Five Important Elements Of Wellness

Wellness can mean different things to different people. For some it may be attending luxury retreats and for some it is about meditation.

However, wellness is not about one or two odd things but a sum of its five core elements: Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual and Intellectual.

Physical

Exercise. Even going for a simple walk will make you feel so much better

Eat healthy. Avoid eating processed foods and soda. Include servings of fruit and vegetables in your diet.

Do not skip your meals. Skipping any meal can slow down metabolism rate and can make you feel more hungry later in the day. Skipping meals only contributes in unhealthy weight gain and temporary unhealthy weight loss.

Avoid heavy drinking and drug abuse.

Balance your social life with your personal space.

Spiritual

Find a quiet space for yourself and spend sometime there every day.

Meditate.

Spend time appreciating nature.
