A client has made the decision to follow a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and healthy eating, in pursuit of illness.
However, after a month of this routine, she complains that she doesn't have the level of wellness of her neighbor. You explain to her that:
1. she needs to find out what her neighbor is doing differently.
2. wellness is an ongoing process, and that the process becomes wellness when the person recognizes and experiences the possibility for happiness and health in each moment.
3. she has not been following a healthy lifestyle long enough.
4. she needs to redouble her efforts to see results.
