Where Are You On the Wellness Continuum?
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, wellness is defined as:
- The condition of good physical and mental health, especially when actively maintained by proper diet, exercise, and avoidance of risky behavior.
- The state of being well or in good health.
- The quality or state of being in good health.
In 1978 Dr. John Travis created the Illness to Wellness Continuum pictured below. Dr. Travis feels, 'it less important where you are on the continuum; it's more important which direction you're facing – toward illness or wellness.'

P.S. The nose is for breathing. The mouth is for eating.
~ Traditional Proverb
This old proverb is direct with crucial information for your health.
Focus on breathing in and out through your nose. Allow the natural filtration system of your nose to clean, warm, and moisten the air you breathe. A key to wellness is breathing well.
Make this your first resolution in the new year, and you will be on the road to wellness!
