The Psychology of Wellness
Wellness is more than doing the right things. Complete wellness encompasses all dimensions of our lives—this includes emotional wellness. We can do the right things and still suffer with debilitating anxiety or depression. Science continues to discover deep connections between our physical well-being, feelings and thoughts. Each of these aspects contribute to our overall wellness.
When our lives feel out of whack, we can’t only examine single causes. Some focus on action, continuing to do more and more, but becoming further and further from the wellness that they seek. Others, however, direct attention to the content of their minds, forcing positive feelings without addressing the behavioral issues causing the disrupted life of sorrow.
Wellness, or peace of mind, in the present requires contentment. A simple peace felt in our bodies, exuding with calmness, and radiating with love. A helpful contentment with the present, however, doesn’t lead to stagnation, but provides the security to move forward, pushing past the limiting comforts of the known into the shadows of new experience. Our lives continue to grow.
The psychology of wellness includes several sub-topics:
As we expand our knowledge and practices, we grow. We experience flourishing. We move from simple existence to the fullness of life. This jump from works alone to the expansion of the mind is a leap we must take. We can become well-versed in each of these domains, giving a more completeness to our lives. Our well-rounded approach lifts us above the pettiness and we transcend our current state of being for something much more.
