Explain The 7 Components Of Wellness

Four years from now and fifteen years from now I hope to be in a similar stage that I am in right now. I currently hold my personal health and wellness to a very high standard and it is one of my major priorities. I do not allow things outside to affect my lifestyle because I know who I am and what I do. In my eyes, physical wellness is the most important, but I understand that all seven components of wellness are needed to live a healthy lifestyle. There are many subcomponents that fall under the seven components of wellness that play a role in a person’s overall wellness.
