How Do You Define Wellness…With Dr. Gaetano Vaccaro, Psychologist, Certified Sex Addiction Counselor
Episode 97
Description
How would you define wellness?
MY ANSWER:
Wellness is more than a physical condition, and so much more than just the absence of illness or disease.
WELLNESS IS A STATE OF BEING.
I think about it as the body-mind (because body and mind are reciprocally linked) being in alignment with your behavior and habits.
And if you are truly committed to that state of being, then you will establish a daily, weekly, or monthly practice of those behaviors.
And, if you strive to be disciplined and consistent with that practice, it can contribute to your quality of life. It can help sustain mental health and physical vitality and ultimately, I believe that this mental and physical practice will promote longevity.
