What Is Wellness?

The concept of total wellness recognizes that our every thought, word and behaviour affects our greater health and well-being.  And we, in turn, are affected not only emotionally but also physically and spiritually (Greg Anderson)

*******************************************************************************

The World Health Organization defines “wellness” as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."  The National Wellness Institute defines wellness as “a conscious, self-directed and evolving 

process of achieving full potential." 

The BIBLE does not mention the word “wellness” 

but the following is what I learnt from what it says.   God’s desire is for us to achieve wellness in every aspect of our life. 

This can only happen when the spiritual, emotional and physical components are working together as God intended for mankind to function-as a whole being.    He wants us to experience the Fruit of the  Spirit and be free from worry and stress in daily living.  He wants us to be healthy and free from sickness and disease but more importantly, He wants us to know Him intimately, worship Him and spend eternity with Him. 

Now that is true wellness!
