Attitude

How do you define well-being? What do you do to achieve it?

“There seems to be a great abyss where we seem to lose track of our motives for good health. If we really strive to work on total health, I think we then have to look at the foods we eat, where they come from, the toxic attack we receive everyday from pollution, cell phone usage, and stress. Getting an excellent Wabash education will allow a lot of Wabash men to at least have the choice of how much they would want to work. It will probably be a trade off with either enough money and some free-time or more money than you need but less free-time. Hopefully everyone loves their work and it’s not a big deal either way.”

The absence of stress that I cannot influence or change. How do I achieve it? Maintaining a positive attitude. Laughter. Personal time to focus on the things that I can change and connect spiritually with God.”
