Consider that health is multifaceted and although we all experience things differently in some way, we all share the biological process of aging. ​ Habits that work well for one, may be unsupportive for another person.  And while wellness is the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal, it is also the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better mental & physical health outcomes to thrive.
