“Wellness is proactive rather than reactive, and inclusive and accessible to laypersons rather than the exclusive. “It involves a philosophy of self-respect and self-care that can be accessed by different persons in different ways, then nurtured and extended in other areas of their lives” (Hatfield, 1992). In order for us to become a person who is well, we need to be proactive and work on the areas of physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and social wellness. Wellness is an ongoing process to where your empowering yourself to live a full and healthy life.…
The term wellness is relatively new and it discusses the optimal health that a person has. The term wellness has to do with more than just physical health of a person. Concerning an individual, wellness deals with six dimensions of health; physical, spiritual, intellectual, social, psychological, and environmental ( Insel & Roth, 2006). Wellness happens when good choices are made about a person living their everyday lives. The purpose of this paper is to identify three of the six dimensions of health that are strongest and also one of those six that is the weakest and/or needs some improvement. In addition, this paper will also discuss a person’s decisions and habits that can be made to improve on personal health and discuss what should be learned in the course to assist in a healthier lifestyle.…

I think nobody is complety healthy because we are not perfect and it means we will have several illnesses or something inside of your body will not work fine. Also, there are people that make a lot of exercises and they harm themselve. They become it in a obsessed. Nevertheless, there are people that never make no exercise anytime and it is bad for them. On the other hand, I guess my health is good. As well, I try to eat less fat but I am not obsessed with it. Besides, I have not went to the doctor for a longer. So, I think I am fine. For me people is not healthy enough because their job or their responsibilities make them have not time to take care of them. For example, work recently have become in a jail for people. I mean, they even have…
“Imagine someone who suffers from lapses of memory, hallucinations, sudden depressions and nameless fears. These are all mental symptoms, in the straightforward sense of involving states of mind” (Scruton, 1981, p. 37). Imagine living with these “lapses of memory, hallucinations, and sudden depressions and nameless fears” every day. Now imagine being unemployed and trying to learn to cope with all these symptoms on top of trying to succeed and find a job. There are many people who have a mental illness that have the desire to obtain community employment. Many people want to work so they can have the money to fulfill their needs and their wants, to be independent and to socialize with their coworkers and/or customers. It motivates people, creates…
Wellness is not just survival but it is thriving according to training I attended through the organisation I work for. Wellness has to do with quality of life, for example doing things that one enjoys and having relations with other people instead of paid workers. Circumstances such as finances to do what one enjoys, activities that bring satisfaction, sense of control and arrange of things that bring enjoyment contribute to wellness.…

After taking the Living to 100 Assessment I discovered that my biggest wellness strength is that I eat healthy at home. My mom makes sure that we are never without proper nutrition and I believe that has played a big role, as well as my goal to maintain a healthy body weight. We have plenty of fruits and vegetables at home and if I don't get any at school, I make sure to eat some after school. My most worrisome wellness weakness is that I don't exercise enough. I like to read so I spend a lot of time in my room or just generally lounging around. When I do exercise, I tend to push myself too far and end up pulling something. I will use a punching bag when I am angry or just feel like I need to exercise, but I find myself lapsing in that sometimes.…
{text:bookmark-start} Personal Health Assessment {text:bookmark-end} Now that I have talked about the three dimensions that are my strongest which of the three remaining dimension of health do I feel I need improvement? Out of physical wellness, emotional wellness, and environmental/planetary wellness I feel I need improvement in my physical wellness. Now why is this? I feel that I have bad eating habits I exercise but, I don’t exercise enough. I don’t get regular medical checkups and I know I’m doing wrong by not taking care of myself. I need to change the way I take care of myself if I want to live a long healthy life. What kind of personal choices can I change to improve my health? For starters I need to watch what I eat, I need to drink…
My overall state of my wellness wheel is pretty well. It was about half and half with my assessment. The lowest my average assessment went down to was a two. That was in the social area which is my weakest. My weakest areas are vocational, social, and intellectual. I scored really low in social area because I don’t get out much, I keep to myself and I am too busy juggling sports, school and work. I really don’t have much time for anything else. My strongest areas were physical, emotional, and spiritual. I was not surprised with the results of the assessment; I knew I wasn’t going to score very high in the social area. In the emotional area I knew I was going to score high because if I did something wrong I wouldn’t say someone else did it, I would own up to what I did and take responsibility for whatever I did wrong. The reason for this is the more you lie about something the more it will come back and bite you in the butt harder than just saying something in the beginning.…
Chronic illness plagues countless people all over the world. Moreover, chronic illness acts as a hindrance to the overall well-being of an aging population. Although chronic illnesses may be debilitating, people can experience extended periods of wellness. During these periods of reprieve, people can continue to lead fruitful and rewarding lives. This discussion board will explain what wellness in chronic illness means from my personal perspective.…
Whenever I would think of health and wellness, my mind would always revert back to just being sick or being in shape. I have learned that it is much more to it than just that. Health and wellness is more of being in a state of total social, mental, and physical wellbeing. Factors such as the environment, social life, emotions, spirituality, and physicality all play a role in one’s health. In order to life fully with meaning, these dimensions are a very important part of our health. Physical health deals with body size and shape. Social health is more of how you deal…
