Your Well-being

Even though well-being can be defined or interpreted in many ways, your well-being is defined by you and the choices you make. Do you know that your well-being includes more than your emotions and mental capacity? Your well-being is multidimensional. Well-being includes your psychological, emotional, physical, social, financial, vocational, spiritual, and intellectual health. Well-being includes all of you!

We may feel emotionally excited about an upcoming new experience and at the same time feel physically ill. These two simultaneous presentations may not seem connected, which can be confusing. However, you may have contracted a cold from work and truly excited about meeting up with friends over the weekend. The multi-dimensions of well-being are interconnected and influence each other. Therefore, increasing health in one dimension increases your overall health.

First, it is important to gain awareness of the status or baseline of your well-being in each of the dimensions. Second, seek improvements to bolster your health in the different dimensions. Third, develop and manage a routine that values your overall health on a daily basis.

Well-being requires focus and attention to become habit. It begins with your most important relationship, your relationship with yourself.

You are the vital component to your health and well-being. Your well-being reflects you.
