In a positive wellness lifestyle, "wellness" isn't a destination or a strict set of rules. It is a flexible practice of self-care. This means prioritizing sleep, mental health, and nutrient-dense foods because your body deserves to be nourished, not because you are trying to shrink it.

Body neutrality focuses on what the body does (its strength and resilience) rather than just how it looks , which can be more sustainable than trying to feel positive about one's appearance every single day [3, 4].

By shifting the focus from aesthetic goals to internal feeling, you create a sustainable lifestyle that honors both your mental and physical health [7, 8].
