Introduction to the Wellness Compass
Welcome to the Peer 2 Peer wellness compass where I’ll give you simple tips in 8 areas to wellness that will give a well-rounded approach to becoming healthful, mindful and successful.

The wellness compass is designed to structure your focus on certain areas of your life so you can make simple improvements that have a knock-on effect for the whole compass.
8 Areas of Your Life for True Health, Wealth, Happiness and Success.
1. Health
Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with physical activity, your diet can help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease and cancer), and promote your overall health. In this section I’ll look at diet, nutrition to super-boost your immune system and alleviate some ailments you may have.
2. Mindset & Mental Health
One of the main issues with identifying and treating mental health problems is the fact that unlike other physical concerns that present obvious symptoms, periods of poor mental health do not always portray physical and clear manifestations. What is also important to note is that in order to be able to care for others, one must begin with taking care of themselves.
3. Family & Friends
Most people need a certain level of social interaction to stay healthy although the amount is different for everyone. Spending time with friends and family can reduce your chances of becoming depressed and lonely. Spending time with people is also likely to make you more confident and it keeps your support network healthy and thriving.
4. Personal Development
Personal development refers to those activities that improve a person's talents, potential, employability, consciousness and ability to realise dreams and create wealth. In short, it's what you do to improve yourself and your prospects in life.
5. Money
Being wealthy is important. We need the peace of mind. We need to provide for our family. We need to have enough so we can share. For us to give, we need extra. For us to have extra, we must provide more than our needs. Having more than our needs is having wealth. Having wealth allows us to live the life we deserve, a victorious life that each one of us should be enjoying.
6. Fitness
There are plenty of reasons why being physically active is good for you, such as having a healthier heart and strong joints and bones. It can also have a positive impact on your mental health.
Even small amounts of exercise can boost your mental alertness, give you more energy and put you in a good mood. It can also reduce stress and anxiety as well as increase your self-esteem.
Maintaining a balanced life is becoming increasingly more important for your personal health and wellness in a fast-paced, modern world.
Hence, the wellness compass can create a more balanced lifestyle.
7. Community
As human beings, we need a sense of belonging, and that sense of belonging is what connects us to the many relationships we develop.
A community allows us to support one another, interact, share experiences and our modern life struggles. Having this open bond with others is what builds valuable relationships, and gives us a deeper sense of belonging.
Communities are also rich in resources. Your strengths may be someone else's weaknesses and vice versa.
8. Fun & Lifestyle
We have been bombarded with the idea that working hard is the only way to success. But FUN plays an important role in achieving your goals! The importance of having fun is quite obvious, but people often forget or take their other responsibilities to have precedence over “indulging” in fun.
