    「wellness」是美式英文裡常說的「身心健康」——不只是沒有生病,還帶「主動照顧自己」的感覺,像運動、好好吃飯、好好休息。How can we think of it? 核心畫面可以想成「主動照顧自己、讓自己保持健康」。health 多半講身體有沒有病、好不好;wellbeing 還包含開心、日子過得順;wellness 更常掛在 wellness program(健康促進計畫)這類主動照顧的說法。

core核心畫面

Picture someone who sleeps enough, walks every day, eats properly and keeps some space in their head — and is doing all of it on purpose. Wellness is health you are actively keeping up, body and mind counted together, rather than simply not being ill.

wellness 可以想成一個人平常在做的那些照顧自己的事:睡得夠、有在動、吃得像樣、心情有地方放。它跟 health 的差別在感覺——health 比較像一個狀態(沒生病),wellness 比較像一個持續在維持的過程,而且身體和心理是一起算的。也因為這層意思,它在健身房、公司福利、飯店行程的文案裡特別常見。
