The word Wellness is used so much now, it’s hard to know what it even means anymore.
𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐬, 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬, 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥, 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, .. wow it feels endless , and almost feels like it loses its significance as it’s more about how trendy it can seem?
Wellness can be really hard to define. You can’t really put it into a box and apply it to everyone. We all come from different places, experiences, and with living different lives, wellness will different for each and every one of us 💚
Over the years though, especially through the growth of social media, wellness has picked up this aesthetically pleasing look. That anyone that is “𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬“ is hitting the gym, lifting weights, doing yoga, eating protein oats and smoothies. Wearing Apple Watches and Whoops. Creating reels of workouts, wearing Gymshark and Abyl. Posting how many steps they have hit, how many calories they have burned, what latest nutrition trends and new moves they have followed.
It’s not that any of these are bad things. Heck I think I think it’s great if it makes you happy, keeps you fit and healthy. But that isn’t all Wellness is . It isn’t detox teas and lemon 🍋 water and meditation.
It’s been able to access your GP appointment. It been able to register with a dentist 🦷. It’s also been able to visit your family and friends, maintain and build relationships ❤️ it’s been able to care for yourself, not neglecting your hygiene, been able to afford sanitary products and get a good nights sleep 😴
The wellness ideology leaves a hell of a lot of people behind , and creates a divide between people. Those that are 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 and those that are 𝐧𝐨𝐭. Often those that are not . been looked down on, and it’s incorrect. There isn’t a balance while we have ideology of wellness. We must look deeper to create better wellness for everyone

Every year complete 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭. Sadly this is showing that every year the happiness and wellbeing of our children and young people is declining.

Numbers are still coming in for the last few years and the real impact CoVid 19 and the cost of living crisis is having on us , families and our children , when it comes to our health , wellbeing and especially our nutrition.
You only have to speak to your friends, neighbours, parents in the playground to hear how it’s effecting everybody, and how cut backs are being made when it comes to food shopping.
Reports have come in how children have said they have shared food with their friends at school, because their friend hadn’t eaten 💔 we have heard reports coming in how parents are skipping meals to be able to give their children more to eat. And this isn’t non working families. This is also families that have two working parents .
It is estimated, that by the end of 2023 , half a million more families will be pushed into poverty, and this is including families that are working 120 hour weeks between them!
Inadequate nutrition playing a huge role in the health status of these families.
