HEALTH AND WELLNESS
1.0 Introduction
There are six measurements of wellbeing and health: Physical Wellness, Intellectual Wellness,
Emotional Wellness, Spiritual Wellness, Interpersonal Environmental or Planetary Wellness and
Social Wellness. Every dimension adds to the general wellbeing of each. People have qualities
and shortcomings of these measurements. All through this paper, I will talk about which
measurements are my qualities and how they influence my general wellbeing. It is trusted that
Emotional, Intellectual and Social Wellness are the three measures of heath that are my most
grounded. I believe that the qualities related to passionate wellbeing help depict my health way
of life. These conditions incorporate positive thinking, confide in, self-regard, self-
acknowledgment, self-assurance, discretion and fulfilling connections. Keeping up passionate
health requires the "observing and investigating of your considerations and sentiments,
recognising deterrents to enthusiastic prosperity, and discovering answers for emotional issues.
By and by, I feel that I have the characteristics of excited wellbeing and I feel that I have a
decent comprehension on how my feelings show and develop. I have found that through my
troublesome beneficial encounters I have figured out how to adapt to my feelings in a positive
way. I trust that my enthusiastic wellbeing is exhibited by my general solace and
acknowledgement of my sentiments (Kolomiets, 2008).
2.0 Six dimensions of the social wellness
Wellness is something which is demanded by each and every human being in this world because
nowadays everyone maintains their perspective to stay fit and healthy in there both physically
and mentally. Nowadays the every person is going to a hectic lifestyle which is affecting their

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
health and personal life for that they go for a freshness. However, that also stays for a short
period of the span for that reason there are some systems in the wellness circle which help the
person to remain fit in their daily life which will help them to do their work smoothly and
maintain their personal life properly (Armstrong, 2010).
In that case, social wellness if everyone started follows its dimension correctly and get to
understand the subject carefully it is helpful for them. There six dimensions in social welfare
model which has been invented by the president of the Institute of the social wellness Dr Bill
Hettler who is also the Co – Founder of the Institute of the social wellness. The model is
interdependent, and the model has categorised the points and the problems which make the table
or the dimension easy to understand. The categories or the section are Occupational, Social,
Physical, Spiritual, emotional and intellectual. These are six the points which have been
categorised in the dimension of the social wellness (Huddleston & West, 2012).
Social
The meaning of the social aspect is to encourage the contribution of the society from one
environment to the other environment or the community. The interdependency of the other with
nature gets importance from the social wellness dimension. If someone started to walk on the
goodness path will become more conscious of its significance in the today’s world, on the other
hand, it will understand the impact on the society or the environment. If a person improves his or
her communication skills and encourages themselves to lead a healthier lifestyle that person is
automatically participating in the wellness activity (Seong, 2016). This will help a person to
improve the personal relation with everyone in the society, will choose for the better lifestyle for

him or herself and at last, will try to balance the nature and the particular environment for the
social wellbeing. There are some points which after followed by the social wellness:
 A person should not become self-obsessed or selfish but also think about contribution to
the society where he or she is staying.
 The person should develop good relation with another person in the society and should
improve the communication with them and also should maintain the peace and the
harmony in the society.
Occupational
The meaning of this dimension is to gain satisfaction for personal reason and enhance their life
by work. Occupational wellness depends on once attitude about its work. The professional
wellness path is something where you are earning for yourself by contributing your skills, talents
and some of your job by which the labour and the working place is also getting benefit which is a
meaningful reward for both the worker and the company. The professional and the personal
values of the person will be conveyed by the involvement in the work or the activities which the
company or an organisation is arranging and this will give gratitude to your job (Penkala, 2012).
The most important factors of the Occupational wellness are the job satisfaction and the work or
the profession the person is involved with. There are some factors which are followed by the
professional welfare:
 A person choose his or her carrier which is suitable for them, and the work should
involve the personal values of that person for that reason the person should not select any
profession which is unsuitable for them
Page 5 of 16

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
 The person should develop his or her skills and functions by involving themselves in
every activity the organisation is arranging. The person should not be inactive because it
slows down the progress of the work or the skills.
Spiritual
The meaning of the spiritual dimension is to find the purpose and the existence of the human.
The spiritual dimension helps to develop the depth of the human thinking by gathering the
natural power of the universe which can be earned by positive thinking and mental exercise.
Religious training can be done by gaining the peaceful harmony of the human body which will
control the personal mind and the emotional thought which comes in the rough and stressful life.
When the person travels the spiritual path that time, the person will face lots of difficulty such as
fear, doubt, disappointment, despair and on the other hand, the person can also feel the positive
things like happiness, joy, pleasure, discovery and many other things. This will all help the
person to realise his or her existence in this world which will help him or her to progress in their
life. After some point, the person will automatically understand that he or she is becoming
spiritual by their affirmative action in both their work and society their perspective of watching
the world will automatically change by following the spiritual path. There are some points which
are applied by the mental wellness:
 The person should search the meaning of its life by itself and should be tolerable towards
the aggravating negative factors which are intolerable for the human minds.
 The person should live each day as the new light of his l9ife and should follow the
consistency of the positive power by removing the disturbance and the negative thought
from the mind.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Physical
The physical dimension is the part that seeks to recognise the significance of the physical
activities on a regular basis. The development of physical entities tries to develop and encourage
the learning procedures regarding the diet and nutrition of the real beings and discourages the
consumption of tobacco, drugs and alcohol. The right amount of exercise and proper dieting
ensures the optimal wellness of a human being as well as healthy habits. While in travelling the
path of wellness, people strive to build up their strength by nourishing their physical strength,
body and mind flexibility, and endurance power with stamina calculative. The various
procurement procedures to nourish the body are supported by the excellent use of medical
treatment and guidance (Friesen, 2010). The personal responsibility is highlighted and flourished
with the physical wellness of people that is backed by proper care for the minor illness with
professional medical treatment. The vital signs and signals of our body are monitored by
ourselves while following the path of wellness and therefore, the body aptly gives the response to
any warnings. People who are going well in the road of wellness appreciate the relationship of
the good nutrition, sound body system and how the body remarks due to the effect of real
nourishment. The benefits of staying strong physically and good looks does matter for the human
being bin every sphere of the world. Good looks do not matter, but the healthy lifestyle does.
However, if one discourages themselves to be ugly and suffer from inferiority complex, it
originates psychological problems in the person himself. The self-esteem of the individual is
enhanced along with self-control and determination of the self-actions (McMillen, 2011). The
principles of physical wellness are as follows:
 Eating right foods complete with nutrition and beverages are much healthier rather than
depending only on supplements other food substitutes.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
 Staying physically fit and in shape restricts any common diseases to harm the body.
Intellectual
The intellectual measurement perceives one's inventive, animating mental exercises. A well
individual grows their insight and abilities while finding the potential for imparting their
blessings to others. Utilising scholarly and social activities in the classroom and past the
classroom joined with the HR and learning assets accessible inside the college group and the
bigger group, a well individual value scholarly development and incitement. Voyaging a healthy
way, you will investigate issues identified with critical thinking, inventiveness, and learning.
You will invest more energy seeking after individual premiums, perusing books, magazines, and
daily papers, while staying updated with current issues and thoughts (Krejčí, 2013). As you build
up your scholarly interest, you will effectively endeavour to extend and challenge your brain
with inventive attempts. The intellectual wellness strives to follow the basic principles:
 Stretching the minds and accepting challenges are much better than avoiding them. The
problems and difficulties need to interact with intelligent thoughts and perspectives.
Remaining self-satisfied would not fetch much for our mind.
 Identifying the potential problems is necessary. Picking suitable game-plans given
accessible data than to hold up, stress, and fight with real concerns later.
Emotional
The moving estimation sees care and affirmation of one's assessments. Energetic Wellbeing joins
the amount one feels active and anxious around oneself and life. It fuses the capacity to manage
one's feelings and related works on including the rational assessment of one's confinements,
headway of self-control, and ability to adjust satisfactorily to extend. The well individual keeps
Page 8 of 16

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
up the satisfying relationship with others. Cognizance of and enduring a broad assortment of
feelings in yourself and also other persons is central to prosperity. On the prosperity way, you
will have the ability to express assessments transparently and right feelings adequately. You will
have the capacity to arrive at only alternatives and decisions based upon the mix of suppositions,
considerations, rationalities, and lead. You will live and work self-ruling while understanding the
importance of searching for and esteeming the support and help of others. You will have the
ability to shape related relationship with others bases upon a foundation of reasonable obligation,
trust, and respect. You will go up against troubles, put it all on the line, and see the battle as
being conceivably stable. Regulating you life in particularly remunerating ways, and accepting
obligation for your exercises, will help you view life as an exciting, sprightly venture. The
emotional wellness’s principles:
 Recognising our feelings and getting aware of it is much more important than denying
them.
 Optimistic approaches always outdated the pessimistic approach and especially in
ourselves.
3.0 The practices a person can adopt to enhance social wellness in
personal life
The following aspects determine the social determinants of the health and wellness:
 Income equality: Once a nation has achieved the purpose of improvement where most
passing's come not from irresistible ailments (tuberculosis, looseness of the bowels,
Page 9 of 16

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
cholera, jungle fever, influenza, pneumonia, and so forth.). However, from perpetual
sicknesses (coronary illness, diabetes, growth), the monetary and social correspondence
inside the general public is a more prominent determinant of death rates and healthy life
expectancy than the nation's position as to others. The United States, for example, falls
behind Japan, Sweden, Canada, and numerous different less prosperous countries in the
future of its subjects. The distinction is by all accounts the extent of the crevice between
the most and slightest generous portions of the general public.
 Social connections and bonding: Many reviews show that "having a place" – whether to
a huge more distant family, a system of companions, a social or volunteer association, or
a confidence group – is identified with longer life and better wellbeing, and in addition to
group support.
 The sense of collective and personal efficacy: This alludes to individuals' feeling of
control over their lives. Persons with a higher sense or more grounded history of
adequacy have a tendency to live more, keep up better wellbeing, and take an interest all
the more overwhelmingly in metro life.
The social determinants of a specific group well-being or advancement issue might be
remarkable to a particular group or assembly, or might be a piece of the bigger society.
Individuals from various outside organisations, diverse social classes, or with different levels of
instruction may encounter a similar issue contrastingly as a result of different social components
(Warren, Thakur & Cao, 2014). There are three factors:
 Differences in exposure: Certain populace bunches, given financial matters, topography,
or different variables, might be more probable than others to experience particular
wellbeing dangers. Individuals in destitution, for instance, are probably going to be
Page 10 of 16

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
presented to more high amounts of stress, financial vulnerability, and undesirable
conditions than their wealthier comrades.
 The difference in vulnerability: Due to their destitution, their introduction to stress and
vulnerability, or different variables, those same populace gatherings may get themselves
more helpless than others to medical issues. The failure to pay for regular human services
or treatment expands the likelihood of interminable disease. In the case of the town
above, poor nourishment, thus of destitution, could grow villagers' helplessness to water-
borne illness, as would the powerlessness to compose to fund a city well.
 The difference in consequence: Contrasts in riches, social standing, connectedness, and
different components can prompt altogether different results where medical problems are
concerned. For a centre or high society family in numerous nations, a minor medical
issue – missing a couple of days of work, paying an unobtrusive whole for treatment –
may be only a disturbance. For a low-income family, it may be the distinction between a
rooftop over their heads and vagrancy, or between kids going to class and dropping out to
go to work. Segregation, high anxiety levels, business conditions, and different
components can bring about variations in wellbeing and human services among various
gatherings (Yao, Chen&Cai, 2013).
The Community Tool Box advocates for participatory approaches to managing to orchestrate
and, for this circumstance, for a participatory approach to managing examination and
intervention as well. The closeness of people from the social events impacted by the issue will
ensure that everyone knows its full setting and history, and what different parts of the gathering
may will and unwilling to do about it (Nunes Dinis, 2013).

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
The media, particularly TV, can send compelling messages about gathering prosperity and
progression. These conditions both reflect and are most of the way accountable for the way that
under 25% of adults in the U.S. by and by smoke.
The media can help or miracle several attempts to improve prosperity (through programming that
shows people rehearsing according to common, for instance, or that exhibits comparable people
eating greasy fast food or drinking exorbitantly). They can moreover, correspondingly, bolster or
weaken resistance for others, push a political inspiration, or reason or reproach such lead as
appreciating inquiry with severity and participating in hazardous sex (Franquemont, 2009).
It is without a doubt sensible for say that all get-together issues are political to some degree. On
the off chance that a taking care of the plant is harming town wells with its emanating, for
instance, neighbourhood experts are run up against with the decision of not managing the honest
to goodness clarification behind the issue (the dumping of waste). Moreover, jeopardising
nationals' flourishing, or watching out for the dumping and taking a chance with inhabitants' jobs
(Turner et al. 2014). Government specialists with more noteworthy electorates, utilising audit
information, may pander to what they see as individuals' whimsicalness and bias, passing
foundation or setting up methodologies that adventuresome party, or struggle with general
society intrigue. In actuality, even sensible separations of political inclination – about whether
the association ought to be in charge of giving political relationships or not, for example – can
have goliath brings about the get-together (Wallace, 2012).
4.0 Conclusion
Social determinants" of prosperity and headway issues are the standard parts that choose or
effect the issues. Most fall into the three classes of money related irregularity, social
Page 12 of 16

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
connectedness, and sentiment feasibility. By appreciation and keeping an eye on these social
components, you can extend your chances of settling issues as time goes on by getting at their
primary drivers.
It looks good to use a participatory approach to managing separate and address social
determinants of prosperity and change issues. This kind of examination is especially fruitful
when apparently basically putting a Band-Aid on the signs of the problem isn't adequate, and that
you have to use a whole deal philosophy remembering the real objective to address it
satisfactorily. Such a technique may combine advancement for an alteration in law or plan, and
activity gets ready, and furthermore gather based exercises (Pettignano, Caley & Bliss, 2011).
Multi-pronged, multi-faceted intercessions are the ideal, and are, the point at which all is said in
done, vital to rolling out certifiable and enduring social improvement. The reality of the little
relationship, regardless, is that such intercessions may not be possible, accordingly of obliged
resources and geographic and also political isolation. There are no fewer than two ways to deal
with deal with this reality: One is to shape a coalition, pulling in various affiliations – including
national and all inclusive NGOs and even the organisation where possible – to mount an
agreeable effort on many fronts (Valentine, 2016).
