Physical and Social Wellness

"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."
—Audre Lorde

Today we focused on the Physical and Social Dimensions of Wellness. The Physical Dimension is the recognition for the need of physical activity, healthy foods, and plenty of sleep. The Social Dimension is a sense of connection and belonging where a support system is intact. https://www.samhsa.gov/
