What is wellness?

Wellness is defined as a state of physical and mental well being.  This definition is rather vague considering that each of us may have a different idea of what constitutes physical and mental well being.  For instance Steven Hawking, a wheel chair bound physicist, may have a very different idea of what constitutes 'wellness' than Brett Favre, a semi-retired NFL quarterback, does.  The point being the we 'each' may have a very different opinion of what wellness means for us. Health care should be approached as an individual care plan to include prevention of disease and not just the treatment of disease. 

 What constitutes 'wellness' for you?
