wellness resurgence

In our modern world, wellness has made a resurgence. People are realizing that the band-aid approach to health doesn’t work, providing only short term relief at best. So many of my peers are choosing to live their lives in alignment with how they want to feel. This means partaking in drinking alcohol much less, avoiding smoking, eating gluten free, fresh and local, taking supplements, participating in daily movement in some form, and getting a good night’s rest. And beyond these simple things, they’re sauna-ing, caring for their skin, walking more/driving less, purifying their water, tending to their emotions, and cultivating meaningful relationships.

We’re living long term these days, investing in our bodies and our futures and caring for our nows by making choices that reflect the lives we wish to lead. Perhaps, this is just how it is in your thirties, but I’d like to think society, perhaps as a whole is growing regarding how we think about wellbeing.
