endured change for decades while seeking to maintain personal wellness for themselves and the entire community.
Many have discovered that seeking personal wellness and community wellness are integrally linked together. Good sleep, adequate resources, physical activity (especially walking), access to healthy food and healthcare, cultural celebrations, and social connectedness are essentials for wellness. Many have also discovered that positive attitudes and consistent hard work are also necessary to attain and sustain those elements contributing to wellness.
