Wellness vs Sickness

I thought I'd put my newsletters here, so everyone can read them.


Wellness Newsletter 1


What is Wellness?

What’s the difference between Wellness and Sickness?
Is wellness the absence of illness, or sickness the absence of wellness?
I think life is a little greyer than that!

Between sickness and wellness is a great expanse of ‘not sick yet’.

Think about our Health system- it is really a sickness system. We wait for the body to get sick (or hurt or broken or not working quite right) and then we go to a health professional to get it fixed.
What if we maintained our ‘Wellness’ by keeping our bodies physically and emotionally strong so that it can heal itself when it needs to?
Interesting concept, hey?

So, how do we do this?
Well, we need to fuel the body with good stuff- eating a variety of good, fresh foods.
Drinking adequately – water, not alcohol (ha-ha).
Sleeping well and exercise.
Finding time to have fun with others - be it family or friends or both.
Being happy in our own company too.
Learning to listen to our bodies and acknowledging what signals it is sending us.
Trying to be flexible in our thinking – aim to be a willow tree, not an oak.
Willow trees bend with the wind and bounce back up. Oak trees, whilst strong, are also rigid and are more likely to break or blow over if the wind is strong enough!

If you want and need help in gaining your own ‘Wellness’, I can help –

Just mention this newsletter to take the next step in Wellness!
You can be the best you can be.
