Overall Health
Overall health and well-being starts from the inside out. Begin by
providing your body with the nutrients it needs to work properly.
You will have more energy and feel better every single day that you
eat healthy, nutritious foods, drink plenty of water, and get in some
exercise. While physical wellness is crucial for a healthy life, it is
important not to overlook mental wellness. This includes emotional,
psychological, and social well-being. Mental health is important
throughout all stages of life from childhood to adulthood. While good
physical health directly affects mental health, you should care for your
mental health in different ways.
Love yourself and treat yourself with kindness and respect.
Surround yourself with people who make you happy.
u Meditate and/or pray to provide yourself with time to silently
reflect on all of the positive aspects of life.
u Try something new to break away from the daily grind.
u Get help when you feel like you cannot help yourself. n
