Wellness is a Verb
Health and wellness may sound like the same thing, but there are some important differences. Health is a term that refers to a state where the body is free from disease. Wellness is a holistic approach to health, taking into account the person’s whole being.
Are You Lonely?
If chronic loneliness were considered a disease, its prevalence would rank right up there with other illnesses, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. And while loneliness is not considered a disease or an illness, it’s a condition that’s associated with a greater risk of heart disease, dementia, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and a shorter life span.My intention is to help you understand what loneliness is, how it affects you, and what you can do to reduce the negative consequences of loneliness for both yourself and others.
Mindful Breathing
Mindful breathing is a great place to start if you’re interested in learning mind-body practice.
The benefit of mind-body practice is to strengthen the mind-body connection. The mind-body connection is the communication or link between our body’s chemical and biological processes and the processes that originate in the mind — thoughts, emotions, perceptions, moods, and beliefs.
In other words, the mind-body connection is about how our body affects our mind and how our mind affects our body. Being aware of and in tune with this connection is highly beneficial.
