A Note from the Health and Wellness Ministry The Health and Wellness Ministry wants to enhance wellness in the OLGC parish community. What is wellness? No matter what your current health status is, you can move toward a higher level of wellness. ♦ Wellness is a choice—a decision you make to move toward optimal health. ♦ Wellness is a way of life—a lifestyle you design to achieve your highest potential for well-being. ♦ Wellness is a process—a developing awareness that an end point does not exist, but that health and happiness are possible in each moment, here and now. ♦ Wellness is the integration of body, mind, and spirit—the appreciation that everything you do, think, feel, and believe has an impact on your state of health and the health of the world. ♦ Wellness is the loving acceptance of yourself. ♦ Wellness is an ongoing lifestyle, which requires taking responsibility and making healthy choices, promoting individual well-being through a balance in all aspects of life.
