Health and Wellness

We are faced with many situations that require us to make decisions about our general wellness on a daily basis. Such choices are always directed towards a comfortable existence. There are seven important aspects of health and wellness according to (Anspaugh, Michael, and Frank 12) as is listed below:

1. Physical wellness. This aspect underpins all activities that include proper exercise and nutrition and abstaining from harmful habits (Anspaugh, Michael, and Frank 78). I rank myself green in this regard since I have not only enrolled in a local gym, but also cut down my consumption of fast foods and alcohol.
2. Emotional wellness entails taking control of one’s feelings to only focus on the positive side of life (Anspaugh, Michael, and Frank 173). I rank yellow in this because since even though I possess an optimistic attitude, I still find it hard to forgive those who have wronged me.
3. Intellectual wellness deals with the acts of continually challenging one’s mind with new hurdles. I rank green in this aspect as I love reading books and playing chess. More so, I purpose to learn a new foreign language each year.
4. Social wellness denotes our ability to effectively interact with other people around us and establish our personalities in society (Anspaugh, Michael, and Frank 202). I rank myself red in this regard as I am too shy to speak to crowds and hardly make new friends. I have a long way to go in achieving social wellness.
5. Spiritual wellness involves possessing a set of guiding principles and beliefs that act as motivation (Anspaugh, Michael, and Frank 288). To this end, I rank myself green. My Catholic faith gives me purpose in life and hopes that there are always better days ahead.
6. Environmental wellness is the creation of harmony between one and his surroundings (Anspaugh, Michael, and Frank 370). I rank yellow in this as I always find myself wasting a lot of energy at home through leaving electric bulbs open and leaving the taps running. I think I should improve on this.
7. Occupational wellness entails the maximal utilization of one’s talents and gifts (Anspaugh, Michael, and Frank 483). I rank yellow in this regard as I shy away from sports which I think I could excel. Therefore, I need to boost my self-esteem to optimally use my talents.
