Refers to caring for and advocating for your body

Physical wellness includes physical health, sleep, exercise, nutrition, sexual health and making safe decisions about substance use. It’s about learning how to navigate healthcare, not only when you are sick, but also to prevent illness and injury.

From going to the gym to consuming enough water, there are numerous ways you can boost your physical wellness each day.
Questions to ask yourself:
  1. Am I getting enough quality sleep on a regular basis?
  2. How is my energy level throughout the day? Do I experience frequent fatigue?
  3. Am I maintaining a healthy and balanced diet?
  4. Do I engage in regular physical activity or exercise? If yes, what types and how often?
  5. Am I practicing safe and responsible sexual behaviors?
