Physical Wellness

The Physical dimension involves how your physical body and needs relate to your wellness. This could include eating healthy foods, sleeping well, exercising regularly, and taking care of your physical body, to help your wellness. This also includes awareness of signs of illness, and not neglecting when it’s time to get help. It’s about maintaining habits to support your physical health as well as access to good preventative screenings and healthcare. Physical wellness may include doing physical activity 20 to 30 minutes at least three times per week, refraining from alcohol, tobacco marijuana, opioids, or other harmful chemicals, trying to eat a balanced and achievable diet each day and getting an adequate amount of sleep (7-9 hours/night). It also includes doing activities or stress management techniques to deal with distress as well as remaining calm and relaxed.
