Conroe’s Ways-to-Wellness: Celebrating National Wellness Month

You can’t pour from an empty cup! Prioritizing physical and mental health gives you the energy and desire to care for loved ones, complete responsibilities, and enjoy the journey.

National Wellness Month started in 2018, by Live Love Spa. As the website states, “Wellness Month is a nationally recognized month dedicated to self-care, creating healthy routines, and stress management.” Conroe EDC is hoping to inspire you and others to make yourself the priority, not a priority, starting now!

What is Wellness? 

Many explanations of wellness only incorporate part of its true meaning. “By definition, Wellness is the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as a result of deliberate effort. Also referenced as an approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating diseases.” - Guiding Wellness

The Global Wellness Institute says, “Wellness is multidimensional,” and lists the six core pillars as:

• Physical
• Mental
• Emotional
• Spiritual
• Social
• Environmental

Ensuring each core pillar is addressed, well tended to, and balanced with the others will, in turn, produce the best wellness for each individual.
