The Wellness Home

This has been a topic that has interested me for many months now. If you ask yourself, “How can I really make a difference in this world?” this is easy to answer.

They say that charity begins at home and where we have the ability to really make a difference is also right here at home. We owe it to the ones we love to create the most loving, supportive, and caring environment possible.

What is a Wellness Home?

First we should say that our “house” is just the physical structure where we live and, yes, it should be as nice and comfortable as possible. Our “home” on the other hand, is the environment that actually exists in our house. This is where the wellness takes place.

The wellness environment can be physical. It can be:

The nutritious food we eat,
The important supplements we take,
The quality snacks we nibble on.
The quality of the air we breathe.

The wellness environment should be loving:

A loving and caring place free from verbal or physical abuse.
A supportive place where a diversity of ideas and opinions can exist.
Education, Excellence and Honesty are promoted.
Where following one’s passion and setting goals are encouraged.

The wellness environment should also be responsible:

Learning personal and financial responsibility.
Learning about a range of physical exercise from sports to tai chi.
This can just be having fun, laughing, and playing games or
Enjoying family vacations.

The wellness environment should be, last but not least, spiritual:

A place where seeking spirituality is encouraged through reading and meditation.
Following one’s religion where different beliefs are accepted.
Personal growth through the arts, music, and continued learning are daily exercises.

If all of these things can be found in our “homes” then the quality of live will improve and this world will be a better place.

The above list is far from complete and this is your “homework" to see how you can add to the list creating an even better environment for you, your family and friends. When you create positive, loving energy within yourself then everything around you will be affected in a positive way.

In the future we will expand the concept of a wellness home to include being a Global Citizen. I encourage you to look at the valuable links on the left to find more information about nutritional supplements and educational books and websites.

To your health!
