What is Wellness?

Wellness is a broad term that includes at least eight different areas, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, environmental, intellectual, financial, and occupational wellness.
It can be overwhelming to try to address all eight of these areas at one time.
We're not going to do that here at Green Teas. I want your wellness journey to be something you will feel confident in moving forward.
Since you are here, you are in exactly the right place to get started on this amazing journey!
This space is meant to give you a starting point, a place to learn more about specific areas of wellness, then decide for yourself which area you want to study further.
We are all about encouraging you to identify the struggle you are facing then offering you ways to overcome those struggles through self development and personal growth.
Why Is Wellness Important?
Humans are social by nature, even us introverts need some human contact in some form to survive. Connecting with others allows you to see how others react to you and gives you a sense of belonging.
Keeping your mind sharp is as important as keeping your body in good shape. Making a point to try to always be learning and growing your thinking is a vital part of discovering you self-worth and improving your memory.
Life shouldn't be all about working. That's no life I want to lead. Occupational wellness is about finding a healthy and happy work/life balance. It's about ensuring you work smarter not harder. It's also about doing something you love.
