Wellness
The importance of wellness cannot be understated. Wellness involves the health of the whole: mind, body, and spirit. Wellness decreases stress, reduces likelihood of illness, and improves relationships.
Some Basic Principles of Health
- Eat nutritiously (many choose a plant-based diet).
- Exercise regularly and often to improve your body, mind, and spirit.
- Drink water to stay hydrated.
- Spend moderate time in sunlight.
- Practice temperance: Use good things moderately; avoid bad things.
- Exercise your lungs by inhaling deeply, breathing in pure air, and exhale slowly.
- Rest well, remembering that the best rest follows labor.
- Trust in the Divine Power as you make choices and seek inner peace.
- Minimize your stress level
- Pray, laugh, always be kind.
