Psychology of Wellness

The Thoughts, Biology, Relationships and Environments Behind Wellness

Picture
​Wellness is more than doing the right things. Complete wellness encompasses all dimensions in 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 must not only examine single causes. 
 
Wellness requires contentment in the present moment. A peaceful feeling resonating throughout our body. 

A vast field of research examines countless theories. As lay investigators, hoping to just feel well, we can only grasp a few of the topics. We don't need to know it all.

As we expand our knowledge and practices, we grow. We experience flourishing. We move from simple existence to the fullness of life. A well-rounded approach lifts us above the pettiness and we transcend our current state of being.

At FLS we have spent thousands of hours exploring theories of wellness, writing hundreds of articles. Here is a sampling.

Our amazing mind assigns meaning to felt experience, creating emotion. Sometimes this process misdiagnosis the environment and leads us astray.

FLS link. Self-Sabotage: We hurt ourselves. We sabotage healthy endeavors to escape the discomfort of change, settling back into our self-made prisons of stagnation.
FLS Link: Hope Theory: Motivation to Succeed. Hope is more than an optimistic reliance on unseen forces. Hope, according to Hope Theory, is a combination of three elements: realistic goals, energetic determination, and intelligent pursuit.
