Wellness means reaching beyond fitness and nutrition to the 8 dimensions of wellness: emotional, physical, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, and financial.
Wellness means those days when I wake up well-rested, feeling good physically, have time for some movement during the day, and have energy to handle whatever the day brings with a smile on my face.
For me, wellness is a conscious choice and an intentional practice to develop and maintain healthy habits that benefit both mind and body, planting seeds for self-actualization, while letting go of obstacles that prevent continuous and meaningful growth.
The most rewarding part about my experience is knowing teammates appreciate and benefit from my efforts, feeling supported and motivated, with some successfully re-establishing healthy habits in a positive and encouraging way.
I became a wellness ambassador because I am passionate about my personal wellness and hope to spread my enthusiasm to others around me. I find joy in helping others and cultivating experiences that result in long-lasting memories.
Wellness means embodying our daily habits that assist us in maintaining or moving toward good health outcomes. As a dietitian, I love that I can provide science-based advice, using practical tools to build an eating pattern that is sustainable and adequate to meet nutritional needs at all stages of life.
Wellness for me is finding ways to incorporate things into your day that bring joy or make you and those around you feel good. Developing awareness around when these things would feel helpful, or when you may need to take a break, is also an important aspect of wellness!
