Dimensions Of Well-Being

Physical - Physical well-being is listening to and taking care of your body for optimal health and functioning. This includes a wide range of activities such as exercise, eating healthy and getting appropriate amounts of sleep.

Mental - Mental well-being encompasses all aspects of emotional and psychological well-being, which affects how you think, act and feels. It is defined as realizing your own abilities, as well as coping with the normal stresses of life, working productively to make a contribution to community.

Emotional - Emotional wellness refers to your awareness and ability to understand, accept and manage emotions, feelings, and behaviors, whether positive or negative and effectively express these feelings to others in a calm manner.
