Become
a Wellbeing Warrior
Below are
some of the factors that influence our states of wellbeing.
The 6 Aspects of Wellbeing
Before we
dive into these aspects, you should know that wellbeing is a personal state.
And for us to achieve it, we must focus on what makes us content with life.
Don’t imitate another person’s life plan, rather create yours.
1. Health
When we talk
about health, we refer to both body and mind health. You could be physically
healthy but emotionally unhealthy. Things like stress, emotions and attitudes
contribute immensely to poor mental health. Also, as much as we are encouraging
you to focus on mental health, you shouldn’t forget about physical health.
Exercise regularly, get enough sleep, manage your weight, and you will see
positive changes in your overall wellbeing. You should learn to take of your
body and positively to respond to different emotions. An unhealthy person is an
unhappy person.
2. Relationships
Are you
familiar with the phrase that no man is an island? Well, it does have some
truth into it. We human beings are social. According to recent studies, people
who are in healthy relationships tend to live longer. In this case,
relationships don’t only mean having a husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend.
You can have a healthy relationship with your dad, mum, brother or any other
friend. Our relationships affect us more than we can even realize.
3. Safety
Feeling safe
also contributes significantly to a person’s wellbeing. This is because it
minimizes all feelings of anxiety or fear. To create a feeling of security you
should practise preventative measures such as locking doors, wearing helmets
and safety belts. Going for regular check-ups will also keep you aware of your
health status.
4. Knowing Your Purpose in Life
Knowing your
purpose in life gives you meaning. Many are the times we find ourselves
doubting the purpose we are supposed to play in this world. Whenever you get
such a feeling, you should examine your values, passions, aspirations and also
gifts. For instance, if you are a teacher, your purpose in life could be to
educate the world. Knowing this can give you a sense of fulfilment and keep you
connected to something greater.
5. The Community
The kind of
community you live in also determines how you will feel about yourself.
Residing in an insecure community will make you feel threatened and anxious at
all times. This is why you should decide to get more involved with your
community by doing acts such as volunteering or hanging out more with your neighbors.
The community also refers to your neighborhood, workstation and even place of
worship.
6. Environment
Scientists
have discovered that nature deprivation could often lead to depression. Similar
to the community, the environment you live in contributes heavily to your
wellbeing. You should analyses your environment and see how it is contributing
to your mood and physical health. Environmental issues such as global warming
are leading to harsh climates which are drastically affecting the environment.
We can
conclude that wellbeing is a dynamic process. All the above aspects are
related, and without one or two, it may be hard for you to feel purposeful.
Nonetheless, know that it is normal to slip up in an area or two. Achieving
wellbeing requires patience, determination and self-compassion.
All it takes
is climbing the first step, and in no time, you will achieve the balance that
you have always been craving.
How to Become a Wellbeing Warrior?
There is no
doubt that a significant majority of us haven’t reached this stage yet. We are
still struggling with some of the above aspects. We can mostly blame our lifestyles.
The daily repetition is what has led us to live a life without meaning. It’s as
if we are stuck in a loop.
However,
there is some light at the end of the tunnel. You, too, can achieve a balanced
state of mind and feel contented.
The First step Involves a Question
The journey
to achieving wellbeing starts with one simple question. What can I do to feel
satisfied and balanced? By asking yourself this, you will have changed your
attitude and direction towards gaining fulfilment. You will have given yourself
the power and control over your happiness.
Understand
that the path towards wellbeing comes from within, and it is unique. The tips
below can help you out in your journey.
• Paying
attention to what is happening in your mind and body.
• Being patient
with yourself and taking only small steps.
•
Establishing a positive environment.
• Asking
friends and family for support.
• Understand
that it is normal to slip up.
• Have the
energy to get back on track.
• Trust your
gut and follow the path your heart desires.
• Don’t
forget to free yourself from any obstacles that might be holding you back.
