Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence. It is a choice to assume responsibility for the quality of your life, continually stretch your boundaries, and make your life, and the lives of those you touch, truly exceptional.
Mindfully focusing on wellness in our lives builds resilience and enables us to thrive amidst life’s challenges. Ultimately, wellness is a hands-on, get-down-to-business approach to being the best you can possibly be.

  • Care for a friend’s child or pet for an evening so that they can go out and enjoy themselves.
  • Sign up to help out with an event in your condominium or community.
  • Walk to do all of your errands for one week (if you usually use a car).
  • Live an entire day with one predominant thought “How can I help other people?” or “what is the right thing to do now?” and take note of the many opportunities that present themselves.
