In our current society, the citizens face many
different obstacles. These obstacles occur over a wide spectrum from harsh
environmental conditions, the rise in the cost of living, a large variety of diseases, an increase in suicide
occurrences, the rise in crime, and different personal conflicts. These issues
have made it challenging for those individuals to live healthy and complete
life. Since our society is not perfect and people look for comfort, these
stressors can cause great discomfort and pain. Then, this, unfortunately, leads to increased stress.
Therefore, the idea of wellness is driven by citizens seeking different avenues
they can have a happy life while decreasing the negative consequences. Wellness
is the way an individual becomes aware of his/her health and the desire to make
healthier choices (Wali & Zahid, 2013). In order to have a
higher quality of living, individuals need to take care of their mental and
physical well-being. Patients need to develop different skill sets and enhance
their knowledge to have a better life. Wellness has eight different areas that
can create a fulfilling life and is included in the
patient’s everyday living. The eight key wellness areas are emotional,
environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, and
spiritual (Solanki et al., 2020). It is crucial to
follow these eight key areas of wellness because they will lead to a healthy
lifestyle and help to remove negative concepts that impede healthy living. This
