Health is the ever-changing process of achieving individual potential in the physical, social, emotional, mental, spiritual, and environment dimensions. Wellness is the achievement of the highest level of health possible in several dimensions.
Body size and shape, sensory acuity and reactivity, susceptibility, and restorative skills are examples of traits that make up physical health. Our capacity to carry out daily duties that are essential to a normal existence in modern society is now included in most recent definitions of physical health.
The capacity for fullfilling interpersonal connections, including interactions with others, social situational adaptation, and socially acceptable daily conduct.
The ability to reason clearly, objectively, critically, and to effectively use one's brain to tackle life's obstacles is referred to as intellectual health. Making appropriate decisions that take into account all factors of a situation entails learning from successes and failures.
Understanding the external environment and the part people play in preserving, protecting, and improving environmental conditions is referred to environmental health.
The ability to express emotions appropriately, to restrain them when necessary, and to avoid expressing them inappropriately is referred to as emotional wellness. Emotional health includes a variety of emotions and behaviors, including self-worth, self-efficacy, trust, and love.
A key component of having a healthy spiritual life is adhering to a way of living, believing in a superior being based on a certain religious theory, or experiencing a sense of unity with a higher power and a guiding sense of meaning and worth in all life. Spiritual wellness often encompasses many more facets of leading a healthy, reflective, and purposeful life than just an organized religion.
Includes your values, attitudes, and beliefs, mental health is a component of psychosocial health. Mental health is a crucial notion, even though it is often not recognized a dimension in most wellness continuums. Often confused with being mentally, emotionally, socially, or spiritually healthy, it is a wider notion that includes all these aspects.
According to the U.S. surgeion general, this umbrells term often refers to the "successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with others, and the ability to adapt to change and cope with adversity. From early childhood until late life, mental health is the springboard of thinking and communication skills, learning, emotional growth, resilience, and self esteem."
