Life Lessons: Practice Wellness

People frequently misunderstand wellness as only meaning physical fitness.  And where this is an important aspect of one's life, it's equally important to remember your own mental wellness.  There's nothing better than cleansing the body with a rigorous 15-mile approach hike and then sitting on the lake shore with nothing but the wind and birds for music to clear your mind.  Some of my most calming and self-clarifying moments have happened in the mountains.  Whether it was sitting on the banks of an alpine lake, on the top of an Appalachian Trail summit, or basking in the Caribbean sun on a beach after snorkeling in crystal clear water.  Go out and treat yourself to self-discovery.  It does a body good!  Be well.
