 You live in your body. It's what you use to get around, so it stands to reason that physical wellness is an important part of your overall well-being. Physical wellness promotes care of your body for optimal health and functioning. That doesn't mean you have to be an Olympic athlete to have physical wellness. It doesn't demand superhuman feats of strength or endurance. Physical wellness just means taking care of your body so that you can feel good, be healthy, and get things done, whatever that looks like to you. It encourages a balance of physical activity, nutrition, and mental well-being, and it nurtures personal responsibility for your health. People have different abilities and needs, so think about what physical wellness would mean for your particular circumstance. So, how can you build physical wellness?
