Wellness is a journey. Just as life is a journey. We aren't supposed to be racing to get to the end. We are supposed to enjoy the ride. So many people are trying to "lose a few pounds" and suspect that they will feel better by doing so. Or "trying to eat better" because they KNOW that junk food is Bad. Maybe they are trying to get into a smaller size, so they feel more socially acceptable.  Maybe the trends of juice bars and fitness TV like "Biggest Loser" make them feel pressured to start changing habits out of guilt or a sense of responsibility to set a good example for their kids.   Maybe, if the reason isn't the Right reason, none of their best efforts are going to make a lasting change.

    I want to define Wellness for you. Wellness is the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as the result of deliberate effort.  You can be healthy in body, and still not be Well. You can be healthy of mind, and still not be Well. One invariably will affect the other.  As a Health Coach, I'm trained to help people find balance... to find their own sense of Wellness in body and mind. That Wellness journey is different for each individual. There are, however, some common themes that people run into when taking deliberate action to be Well.  I want to explore some common topics in this blog that can help many of you along on your Journey of Wellness. Hopefully, I can help some of you learn to enjoy the journey, as we are meant to as well.
