Understanding Health
Social, emotional, spiritual and environmental health
Show how one dimension affects another.
Social: getting on with family, friends, teachers and community, behaving appropriately, and communicating well; a poor social life can make people feel isolated and push them towards depression and inactivity.
Emotional: coping, adjusting and adapting; a positive mindset helps, and friends shape who we become. Inspiring books, goals, learning from setbacks, hope and positive thinking keep emotions steady.
Spiritual: finding one's own values and a purpose in life, through a faith or one's own beliefs; a purpose helps reach goals and overcome hardship, and shared purpose builds social health too.
Environmental: living in harmony with nature. External environment means habitat, occupation and pollution; internal environment means one's genetic make-up; family, friends and community also matter.
Environmental wellness rests on respect for nature: simple daily habits that protect the environment lead to a more balanced lifestyle.
