Wellness comes in so many forms.
Keeping myself well is a challenge,
especially with my many high expectations.
So blessed am I with health,
safety, warmth, food, shelter and love.
Still I fight for wellness, struggle.
My body and ego sometimes want,
want for things that are artificial,
not real sources of real wellness.
Wellness is a fight worth it,
worth going without, worth biting tongue,
worth striving for, worth opening to.
I tell myself I deserve wellness.
It's up to me to choose.

Yes, wellness is a choice.And well worth choosing.♥
I always feel like I have two choices in any situation, to make it better or to make it worse. If I am reaching for wellness, then I am making it better, even if the wellness doesn't show up right away.
It's interesting what you say about artificial sources of wellness. Sometimes we get too dependent on external validation and forget to depend on ourselves for wellbeing.
Beautiful post!

You mean like that chocolate covered chocolate chip granola bar I'll be having this afternoon? Well, I'll have another tangerine to offset!
i love where this took me.
a reminder of what is important.
thank you for the heads-up!
Wellness is a good choice- I wish you wellness always!
Expectations: the bane of my existence.
Be well, my friend. Be well.
Wellness is a choice. I wonder why it can be so hard to choose it sometimes. Especially when it is so obviously better for us to do so. I wonder what stops us.
