Defining Wellness
...from the National Wellness Institute, www.nationalwellness.org:
The term wellness has been applied in many ways. Although there might be different views on what wellness encompasses, the National Wellness Institute - along with the help of leaders in health and wellness - shared many interpretations and models of wellness. Through this discussion, there appears to be general agreement that:

  •  Wellness is a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential

  •  Wellness is a multi-dimensional and holistic, encompassing lifestyle, mental and spiritual well-being, and the environment

  •  Wellness is positive and affirming

The definition of wellness, long used by the National Wellness Institute is consistent with these tenants - Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices towards, a more successful existence.
