Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence. — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015

Although it is said that Wellness can be divided into 6 dimension,I focus on only 5 because there is some overlap in my opinion. — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
I truly feel that emotions and spirituality are the same due to the presence of the soul. But that’s a whole other topic. — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
So here are my 65 Pillars of Wellness: Emotional/Spiritual, Occupational, Physical Social, and Intellectual. #FatFree4Life 2016 — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
Emotional/Spiritual – find your sense of peace and balance. Get grounded spiritually and don’t let the outside circumstances affect you. — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
Occupational – try 2 find happiness in what u do on a daily basis. Even if u hate your job, volunteer somewhere that u can make a difference — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
Physical – of course you need to be healthy. See your doctor and know your S.T.A.T.S. See my website for this. #numberscount — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
You need to know your numbers that count: weight, BMI, blood pressure and total cholesterol. — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
4. Social – having good relationships is a must. Even if you’re not dating, have a good time with others. #youarenotanisland — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
5. Intellectual – the more you know,. The more you’ll be informed and the more you can help yourself and others. #eatlessmovemore — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
Focusing on your pillars will help you gain a better gauge on your own health. If these are in alignment, your overall wellness will be too. — Braxton A. Cosby (@BraxtonACosby) November 11, 2015
