Wellness.. What the heck is it?

At first, I thought wellness was just how somebody was, health wise. Now, I feel like that is just way too simply put, and doesnt quite capture the meaning of the concept. It has to do with health, but a lot more with how it effects somebodys life. Its one thing to be physically healthy, but theres a lot more to life than just physical health.
Wellness, I believe, is living life with good physical AND MENTAL conditions. Its being able to go outside for a walk, not only to stay healthy, but to see and feel that absolute beauty of this world.

Best cover ever, right?!

Feelings and stuff

I would absolutely love to be able to throw my kids onto my shoulders and to sweep my wife off her feet whenever I get the chance. Id love to be able to take my kids to the park and play with them. For me to be able to do any of that, Id have to start caring for myself now.

Writing Center

I never really thought Id get much out of going to the writing center at first, but I ended up getting a lot of help from it.

I got my writing up to college level, while also learning how to seem more professional with it.
I went to the writing center for every assignment that required it, except for the last one. (4 out 5 times)

The first two times I went, I had different tutors. I got the same tutor the last two times.
I could definitely see myself going to the writing center in the future.

Closing: Life Lesson

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a mans living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. -Christopher McCandless
