Wellness to me is a variation of physical health, mental health and one’s attitude towards life.

Wellness for an African Woman represents keeping your sanity in the midst of chaos. Finding ways to stay in control inspite of uncertainty.

For me, wellness embodies not just physical and mental wellbeing but also spiritual, social and financial wellbeing.

Wellness holistically means a great deal to me . It’s all encompassing. From physical , mental, emotional and spiritual.

For me, wellness is my body feels good, I am energetic and healthy. I am eating balanced meals, sleeping enough and exercising.

Understanding holistic sexual wellness encourages me to be sex-positive and empowers me to make healthy choices that align with my values when it comes to dating, relationships, and sex.

I commit to exercising at least twice a week, I schedule regular time with friends and family to help me stay connected and fulfilled.

My biggest realization about wellness is that it is an action and not a state or being. One must continually work on it.

I do prioritise wellness by practising self-awareness and spreading positive thinking.

In my perspective, the one key benefit of achieving career wellness is that it supports career progression...

As an African woman, wellness is a concept that involves physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health

For me, wellness is the language I use to communicate gratitude, grace and love for my mind, body and soul.

Wellness for me as a Rwandese woman has been a journey I still am, something I consider as a lifelong journey.

To me, financial wellness is financial freedom. It's being able to meet all of my financial needs and have the choice to make decisions that I want rather than being forced into decisions and constrained by my finances.

Wellness wasn't a discussion from anyone around me or my community. I had to learn most things on my own.

I believe more in having a wellness mindset, rather than searching for wellness moments...

To me, the most important component of wellness is understanding yourself, your own, physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs which helps to live a balanced and content life.

Wellness to me is a complete state of wholeness. It is beyond being physically well. It includes my spiritual, mental and emotional wellbeing.

I try to eliminate stress, stay connected and positively contribute to friends and people in my community and treat myself from time to time.

Wellness is very important to me at the age of 60 and has been since I was 40. Being real and true to who I am called to be as a female Priest can be so difficult when so many people stereotype the life of a priest and often, I do not fit…

The notion of self-care is still something I am defining and one that I associate to wellness. I realized not so long ago that it is not something I knew how to do. I wasn’t thought to do that!

A healthy mind in a healthy body as they say! All must be well fed too to ensure you are positively motivated with life as this feeds your behavior, attitude and character.

I am not so much of a meditating type but I have recently learnt to take stock of how I feel. This has taught me to be kind and compassionate with myself, put me first.

I prioritize my wellness by practicing self love through prayer and prioritizing my physical wellness, spiritual wellness, socially wellness and above all by loving people because Love never fails.

Leaders must take responsibility for ensuring wellness in their organizations because it can nurture heightened levels of employee engagement and foster a workforce of people committed to achieving organizational success.

I have purposed to spend time with the people I care about and to truly love them. I am very intentional about this and it is working miracles.

I realized that I must take care of myself to achieve my goals and take care of others well. Then I started to enjoy it. The more I did it, the more I loved myself and my relations with others also improved.

I am a working mother of four and my first consideration to a perfect wellbeing, is keeping healthy so I work out a lot and live on a good diet.
