A Taste for Life | Monthly Theme
January 2023: Monthly Theme — Wellbeing
The hugs, smiles, care, and encouragement you give to others, and yourself, will feed your soul.
The term “well-being” can be used to describe a person’s sense of their life, the meaning, and purpose of their lives, health, happiness, and success. It also refers to how someone is doing physically, socially, and mentally.
“Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit — the realization that everything we do, think, feel, and believe has an effect on our state of well-being.” — Greg Anderson
Reflecting on the theme “Wellbeing,” the quote above, and the questions below, how will it inspire your creativity?
- What does well-being mean to you?
- Have you developed any practices and routines that lead to a healthier body, mind, and soul? If so, we would love to hear about them!
- What feelings do “you are what you eat,” create in you? Why?
- It appears that many sources on the internet, social media, and advertisements have various methods to help you lose weight. Do these sources affect your life in any way? To what degree and why?
- Although our days are often busy, it is important to exercise. Do you agree with this statement?
