Personal Definiton:
Well-being = state of being emotionally and physically satisfied; being happy. Affected by environment and personal choices.
- Healthy relationship with Family/Friends = connection with other humans
- This gives you a support system to deal with challenges and people in which to share joy + range of human emotions with.
- Satisfying job that gives you purpose or goals = job security & personal satisfaction
- Job gives you something to strive for that can mentally, emotionally, and monetarily satisfy you.
- Leisure time & hobbies = personal autonomy
- Can provide a sense of control and a source of comfort/relaxation.
- Home and food security = feeling of safety
- Your bodily needs must be met to then focus on other challenges.
- Connection with God = sense of gratitude and connection
- Gives you a place in the world and perspective to see life through. Teaches morals and gratitude towards God and appreciation of all he has created.
- Communicate your needs = needs are meet
- If you need/want something, tell the person who can fulfill this need. This increases the chances of this being met.
All must be balanced to result in an emotionally healthy life
