Wellness is not merely the absence of disease. Wellness is an active process of change and growth facilitated by becoming more aware of making choices that will lead towards a more balanced and successful existence. There are many interrelated dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, social, occupational, environmental, spiritual, intellectual and financial. Each dimension is essential in the pursuit of optimal health.
