What Is Health And Wellness? How It Use In Workplace?
Health and wellness
Health you know at the BAI at the base is physical and then our mental
emotional is on the right-hand side so what affects your mental and emotional
health well having positive relationships can make your mental and emotional
health stronger.
Again negative relationships would again deteriorate your
mental and emotional health so the stronger positive relationships you can have
friends,family,community members people at school those types of things the
better off you'll be along with positive relationships. Your self-concept or
your self esteem that affects your mental and emotional health the better you
feel about yourself the more you care about yourself the kind of the better
person you become alright so think about self esteem and think about the last
thing we said the positive relationships the more positive relationships you
have the higher your self esteem is alright.
How will you handle stress?
Stress can be it take a toll on your mental emotional health stress happens all
the time, so you have to find ways to relieve stress. Some examples here we're
simply listening to music, maybe just playing a game on your phone for a little
while can it get you away from the situation maybe talking to people that you
care about your relationships that you've built and texting and just kind of
maybe talking about the situation that you're in alright and then you got to
deal with your thoughts and feelings that happen every day. Then some people do
it by journaling and drawing and subscribing and writing but by kind of getting
those things out it's going to make your mental emotional health you'll deal
with all the situations so much better. So there's our mental and
emotional health moving on to the last one then social health and is social
health is simply put respecting caring and valuing people.
Social health and wellness
Here's our triangle
as no health is in the middle physicals on the bottom mental emotional is on
the right and socials right over here on the left right so what affects our
social health. I get along with friends classmates and teachers spend a lot of
your time at school you've got to have those positive relationships that we
talked about in mental emotional health those positive relationships at school
are extremely important, because you are here so much so having that positive
relationship and you're with your teachers makes the day go by faster make
school more enjoyable so work on those relationships with your teachers. While you're at school you're dealing with teachers and
you're also you know you get to be with your friends and obviously the
friendships are a huge part of your social help and you want to have good again
good positive friendships right you, you need to support people that we care
about and it'll just give you a couple examples grandma, grandpa, moms and dads
family members you need to care and support those people that you do care
about and you can do it. In massive quantities you can support people, you know
by doing things like answer walks that way not only do you support maybe someone
in your family that's been affected by cancer but people across the country. Good ways to improve your social health right there, I think one of the
most important ones is spending quality time with family. The more time
that you can spend with your family the more quality time the stronger social
health will be. And again you can see they were out for a bike ride with their
family,so they've got social they've got physical and again it with physical
fitness. It can actually relieve stress so it can help your mental and emotional
so these things are all kind of tied in together here and you can see on that
health triangle and again in quality time it's spending time with your family
enjoying your time with your family. It's not just going to someone's basketball
game although that's extremely important family yourself too but as you can see
a vacation good quality time where it's just you and your family. Our little review health there's our triangle and you know
that health is in the middle. Health is a combination of what do
you think. Physical visualize it where does physical go
there, you go again you're going to need to know this. Along with
physical health what else is on that health triangle you got it mental and
emotional where does it go on the triangle visualize it here it comes. This is about right hand side there and last but not least social you can
fill that in on your triangle put all the pieces together. So again health is a
combination of physical mental and emotional and social again well-being right
together these make up your total health all right we got to look at healthy
balance as you've seen that triangle so far has been a perfect balance all
sides are equal the physical the mental and emotional and the social health
they've all been equal and that's extremely important that you take care of all
those sides of your triangle. You don't want your triangle
to have an unhealthy balance. Because, then obviously something or many things
are wrong think in your head right now what might someone look like or act like
if their triangle looked like this or this or even this you can see that all
three of those triangles have an unhealthy balance one thing is off you could
ever triangle with two things that are off alright maybe even three things but
you can build yourself back up towards that healthy balance too.
Wellness
So we'll talk more about this unhealthy
balance and when you come back to class. Let's talk just a little bit
about wellness then because we've talked our question that we want to answer
today is what is health and wellness, so wellness is a state of
well-being or total health you can see wellness is on a continuum is what this
is called it can continually switch it can go all the way up to the top right
optimal wellness or all the way to the bottom where you're extremely poor this
can happen at any point in time during the day your wellness scale or your health
scale can change. We can just take a look at the thermometer over
here you can see it's up towards the top of the wellness scale, so may be they're
in very good or excellent wellness things are going good for this
person, which something happens during the day may be you get hurt in a class
like physical education class well now your physical health has gone
downhill you're not hanging around with your friends you had to go to the
doctor's office again your social health is low and maybe you're really
disappointed, because you're going to miss the big football game tonight or your
sporting event and that's going to affect your mental and emotional health. So
you can see depending on a particular event your scale can be real high or it
can drop very low and it can happen at any point in time during the day any
hour any minute. We're putting all this together we've got health, we've got wellness. You can see I showed them as separate but these two
things are not separate your health and wellness is all together. So you
can see there's your health you've got your wellness and health is inside our
health as a part of your wellness so the three parts of our health triangle
would fit inside the little health circle there and they kind of help make up
your wellness which is surrounding you and and wellness could be part of your
environmental factors the things that are around you we're talk about this a
whole lot more in class too but it's important to know that health is a party
or wellness .
