Well-being is an important part of living a healthy and fulfilled life. There are eight components of Wellness defined by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) and we will examine them while suggesting ways to achieve them for better life-balance and stress reduction. This week, we will learn about how to recognize creative abilities and find ways to expand knowledge and skills.
