Travis, J., & Callander, M. (1990). Wellness for Helping Professionals: Creating Compassionate Cultures. Mill Valley.
Wellness is an awareness of the whole person – body, emotions, mind and spirit.
Wellness is an evolutionary, self-empowering process.
Wellness is a decision. It involves taking responsibility for your own health, quality of life and happiness from within. It is a self-designed lifestyle.
Wellness is a kind hearted attitude. It involves reflection about the behaviors that will move you toward higher-level wellness, and the nonjudgmental acknowledgement of past habits.
Wellness is enhanced by authentic connections. It is the positive communication of your feelings, thoughts and actions to one’s self and to others.
Wellness is the state of being well. It is a belief in your potential to achieve a state of wellbeing as a whole person, and a way of living life where feelings of contentment last for longer periods of time.
Wellness awakens your full potential and desire to live a satisfied, purposeful life.
