For instance, trying to achieve financial wellness at the expense of our physical wellbeing (physical wellness) or without identifying what causes scarcity in our lives (mental wellness) leads to stress in the long run.
She also added that the National Wellness Campaign is set to create a mental shift among the citizenry to embrace wellness as a tool for achieving personal and national goals beyond physical health.
