Wellness is based on achieving optimum holistic health through natural approaches. Under the umbrella of wellness are four main dimensions – spiritual wellness, emotional wellness, physical wellness and social wellness. Wellness is proactive, it is about the choices you make everyday that affect your wellbeing. An important aspect of wellness is preventative care. Reducing the risk factors which increase your chances of contracting certain health conditions such as cancer and heart disease.
Essentially wellness is about taking care of yourself in body, mind and in spirit. It comes from eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, taking time out for yourself and being socially connected. Ensuring you have adequate sleep and practising mindfulness are also important to achieving a state of wellbeing. Time away in a relaxing and peaceful setting, whether it be an overseas holiday or a short staycation, can fasttrack you to achieving greater wellness in your life.
This April we at Amaroo are encouraging you to take up a wellness challenge. And we are here to help! We invite you to visit us for a day or even better, a staycation! Then let the transformation begin. From the moment you step foot onto our grounds you will be immersed by the sights, the smells and the sounds. Rejoice in the bliss as you breathe in the fresh crisp air and hear the birds chirping all while you marvel at the beautiful bush surrounds. Being in nature enhances our psychological wellbeing and reduces stress and anger. It can leave you feeling years younger, refreshed and lighter. Our luxurious and relaxing spa treatments offer the same benefits. Combined, we call this the Amaroo effect.
What everyday healthy habits can you incorporate into your lifestyle to help you to achieve wellness? Here are a few ideas.
Begin the day with yoga, meditation and affirmations. Aim to walk daily. Include vegetables in your meals and aim for smaller portions. Commit to a worthwhile cause such as volunteering. Establish a nightly ritual whereby you practise good sleep hygiene habits. Ensure your bedroom has dim lighting and is quiet and comfortable. Avoid caffeine and alcohol and don’t use electronic devices leading up to your bedtime.
Wellness is what gives you a little spring in your step each day. Wellness means waking up feeling refreshed and cruising through your day with ease and in a state of presence. It is the difference between existing and thriving. Wellness goals give you something to look forward to each day as you strive towards self-care and glow in the benefits.
