Millennials cited "stress and anxiety" as a primary factor negatively affecting their wellness goals, and cited "work-life balance" and "career and personal satisfaction" as other stressors.

In contrast, baby boomers responded that "age and not being able to do what they used to do" were significant obstacles in achieving their wellness goals. Women of all ages worried about "weight, BMI, and waist size," but they weren't as concerned about "being single" and sleep deprivation.

For example, many women report feeling anxiety about their body, but don't seem concerned about what others think about them. And what makes us feel good? According to the survey, women would much rather splurge on a vacation, spa day, or gym membership than a cosmetic procedure. Women feel more secure having a "rocking bank account" than a "rocking body," and are more likely to stress out over choosing to take time to calm themselves.

The number one wellness influence revealed in our survey when women answered the question "What matters most to your overall wellness goals? That was followed by, in order of importance: Hmm … now, what could threaten that? As women learned this year about one story after another of claims of sexual harassment in the workplace, by people in a position of authority who were accused of taking advantage of and abusing this authority — Matt Lauer, Al Franken, Mario Batali, Charlie Rose, Garrison Keillor, Harvey Weinstein, and Louis C.

And yet there is reason to hope. Women are owning the fact that they are angry and they are not willing to be diminished. While speaking up is laudable and healthy for many women, making a public disclosure or filing a police report is a very personal decision that deserves caution and deliberation. However, given the negative response that victims often receive from others after coming forward, she cautions that publicly disclosing sexual assault or abuse can be physically dangerous, and ultimately emotionally and psychologically damaging to victims, as well as retraumatizing.

I want to encourage all women, including younger women, to be empowered, and when they're having sex, to think about ways to protect themselves from potential STDs," says Dr. Ellerin says that includes using safer sex practices, condoms, avoiding sex if you think that your partner has an active STD — and it means avoiding concurrent, multiple sex partners. OK, so we need to be vigilant about safe sex practices.

Intellectually we know this. But could a woman's wellness status sabotage her clear thinking? The data revealed that societal norms and perceptions about how we believe we are supposed to look and act is a contributing factor to the rise in STDs. Specifically, the NIH study, published in the journal Body Image in January , found a correlation for both women and men between "body dissatisfaction" and condom use. The authors concluded that "as body dissatisfaction increases, one's self-efficacy regarding the use of condoms diminishes.

The emergence of body positivity and diversity, along with the recent movement in the beauty industry to strike the word "anti-aging" from the advertising and editorial vernacular, and the entrance of "plus-size beauties" into media outlets where thin once reigned supreme over fit, may ultimately turn the tide back toward condom use to prevent the spread of STDs. The authors stated that their research results "indicated that men who believe they are less masculine than the typical man i.

Now after your concrete events are scheduled in, determine how many days you want to exercise and see which days it makes the most sense to head to the gym and put those days in the calendar. Don't expect perfection on week one, but now you at least have a working plan to get started you can always make adjustments later. In a society where hustling into the wee hours earns us a badge of honor, it's easy to see why sleep is brushed aside.

But, without sleep, all our exercising efforts are futile. Sleep is what helps us recover from workouts, helps with food decisions, helps us think clearly, and helps our weight loss efforts. Sleep manages our stress hormone cortisol, which when left unattended can slow fat loss.

It's easy to get caught up in the type of workout that you're going to do, but your diet will either make or break you. It's easy to get get caught up in counting calories and worrying about the perfect macronutrient split, but that's futile at the beginning and time consuming.

There will be days where you slip up on your diet and succumb to food temptations. There will be days where life gets in the way and you miss your scheduled workout sessions. And that is perfectly okay and normal.
