Wellness is defined as “the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind” or “an approach to health care that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating disease”. Doesn’t that sound and feel better than the pressure we put on ourselves to look a certain way and be a certain weight? When you set a path to wellness so many areas of your life becomes enriched because of the mind body connection. You begin to generally feel better and when you feel better you become more connected to your “self” and this sense of self begins to take away depression, fears, worries or frustration for situations that you would not have the strength to deal with in an unhealthy state. Wellness brings empowerment, security and a higher quality of life.

 
One of the first concepts we teach our clients at Replenishing Soul is that wellness takes time. We live in a society of quick fixes and instant gratification. We go through life year after year eating the wrong foods, not getting enough sleep, being ill or staying in jobs or relationships that don’t fulfill us yet we expect to get well and see changes in just days or weeks. When we don’t realize that our bodies need much more time to get back into balance, we get frustrated or feel as if we have failed and give up on our health goals. 

Wellness encompasses lifestyle and lifestyle encompasses what we eat, when we eat, sleep, stress, personal and professional relationships as well as understanding our purpose in life and knowing what we want and what makes us happy.  This is why wellness takes time, it is a process that never becomes stagnant, it is ever moving just like life.
