Health and wellness are terms that are shifting to encompass more than just fitness. We are now looking at mental health, physical health, and emotional wellbeing in ourselves, our community and the world around us. As more people look to embrace wellness and what it may mean to them, we’ve compiled 5 new wellness tips for you to have a healthier (and happier!) 2018.

As health and wellness develops as a holistic practice to include mental health, committing to reciting positive body affirmations will help cement a lifelong love of health and wellness over short term fitness goals.
