In this ‘Home Recreation Guide,’ I dive into the cognitive domain of wellness and talk about different recreational activities that are fulfilling to this domain. In this post, I will be sharing about cognitive wellness.
Cognitive wellness is an integral part of our domains of wellness. This is how we learn, think, process, communicate, and more - & everyone does this a little bit differently! We are all unique, and in this free guide there is a mix of visual, verbal, and kinesthetic learning techniques, so pick which works best for you!
