Hello LINC 7 Students,
Wellness is an active
process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and
fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic
process of change and growth.
Why Wellness Matters
Maintaining
an optimal level of wellness is absolutely crucial to live a higher quality
life. Wellness matters. Wellness matters because everything we do and every
emotion we feel relates to our well-being. In turn, our well-being directly
affects our actions and emotions. It’s an ongoing circle. Therefore, it is
important for everyone to achieve optimal
wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and ensure
positive interactions.
