SIGMA WELLNESS:
For most people “wellness” means taking care of one’s physical being. For many years “Sigma Wellness” has been associated with engaging in exercise and training to look and feel good, with less emphasis on avoiding habits which can lead to health problems or how to manage one’s health once diagnosed with a medical condition. There has been hardly any mention of wellness meaning care for the mental, emotional, spiritual and the aspects of life which provide peace and contentment— financial security, positive relationships, living as stress free as possible, for example. The fact is all of these factors contribute to our wholeness or wellness as human beings.
