“Evolution requires some reflection on where you were, where you are, and where you want to go. To evolve in our wellness, we must reflect on our wellness journey.”
Dr. Shameka Rodgers Phillips
I began blogging in 2012 and have enjoyed the journey of expressing myself and my experiences. Since elementary school, I have enjoyed writing, reading, and music. They are three things that currently keep me grounded and allow me creative expression. In middle school, I found my passion for research and decided I wanted to become a researcher and work within a health and helping profession. This platform allows me to be a wellness advocate while combining my love for writing, reading, and music with my passion for research. I hope that you are encouraged to reflect on and prioritize your wellness.
Peace & Wellness, Shameka
Wellness is a journey.
Wellness is a journey, an individualized journey. It takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what works for you. It is important to reflect throughout your journey to make sure you are headed in the desired direction.
Wellness is holistic.
I believe wellness goes beyond the physical. There are several components of wellness including mental health and spiritual health, to name a few. Most importantly, all of these different layers of wellness are dependent on the status of the other. This blog will encourage you to find harmony in the different areas of your life to achieve and maintain wellness.
