"Taking a Holistic Approach to Wellness: Understanding the 10 Aspects of Well-being"
Being in good physical form is vital, but it is not the only factor. We must also pay attention to our feelings. Our mental health is just as important as our physical health, if not more so. We will not feel well in our body if we do not feel good in our minds.
And it's not just our insides that are important. We must also consider our surroundings. Are we living in a clean and safe environment? Do we have individuals around us who make us happy? These factors can have a significant impact on our general well-being.
