Wellness is first and foremost a choice to assume responsibility for the quality of your life. It begins with a conscious decision to shape a healthy lifestyle. Wellness is a mind set, a predisposition to adopt a series of key principles in varied life areas that lead to high levels of well-being and life satisfaction.
A consequence of this focus is that a wellness mind set will protect you against temptations to blame someone else, make excuses, shrink accountability, whine or wet your pants in the face of adversity. (I threw that in to help you remember this explanation.)
The paradox of health is that while we are living longer, we are not living in a manner consistent with the highest possible quality of life. And a lot of people, it seems, would sooner worry about this situation than act so as to be healthier. In some way, we are “doing better and feeling worse,” as suggested by Aaron Wildavsky. One of the areas of wellness that I have emphasized is helping people better appreciate what it means to be a healthy person, as opposed to just not being sick. Having clear pictures of health at the heights of well-being make it more likely that mediocrity will not be found acceptable.
Research studies suggest that the "wellest of the well" possessed the following qualities, to an uncommon degree:
-
 high self-esteem and a positive outlook 
-
a foundation philosophy and a sense of purpose
-
a strong sense of personal responsibility
-
a good sense of humor and plenty of fun in life
-
a concern for others and a respect for the environment
-
a conscious commitment to personal excellence
-
a sense of balance and an integrated lifestyles
-
a capacity to cope with whatever life presents and to continue to learn
-
grounded in reality
-
highly conditioned and physically fit
-
a capacity to love and an ability to nurtures
-
a capacity to manage life demands and communicate effectively.
