Wellness involves being aware of ourselves as whole people, including a sense of balance and comfort with our bodies, our lives, and our jobs. It is a sense that things are going well for us today, and can continue to go well for us tomorrow. It is a sense that we have meaningful relationships, love, and a sense of meaning and purpose. Although we have setbacks, or we experience stress and trauma, we are resilient, have emotional strength, material resources, and the support of others to survive and thrive. ---Peggy Swarbrick On each post it, write a different area of your life that you want to improve or change.
