Wellness, on the other hand, is an individual's state of well-being, achieved when one has a balanced life. Wellness takes into account not only one's physical health, but also their social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual and environmental health. In order to achieve a balance in your life, all of these things must be equally strong and healthy. If any one thing is off balance, it will be difficult to achieve optimal wellness.
