What do you think of when you hear the word ‘wellbeing’?
It is easy to conjure images of tree hugging and yoga poses but it has a much wider meaning that that.
It actually refers to the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy1 , which is something we all strive for.
What this actually amounts to will vary according to each individual and what gives them contentment, but one thing we can all agree is that it is important to try and maintain a sense of wellbeing, for the good of our mental and physical health.
Here, we take a look at why looking after your own personal wellbeing is so important and how we can make a conscious effort to do this.
So, let’s talk wellbeing this week-
Emotional Wellbeing -
Your emotional wellbeing can be one of the most important aspects of self-care.
It is focused on how you are feeling within yourself and how you cope with everyday life.
This is not a static thing, as it can change frequently and at any time2. This might be due to things that happen to us or for no obvious reason at all.
It is important to remember that out mental health and well being will affect the way we feel about ourselves and others, as well as the way we handle everything that life throws at us, so we should be making this a priority.
When we focus on our own wellbeing, we can be prone to less extreme reactions to certain situations and can make calm and rational responses to things.
Feelings of stress and anxiety can be reduced3 and your mood can therefore be improved.
Relationships-
When we feel good in ourselves, it affects those around us too. We might be easier to live with or in a better place to support someone else who might need it.
The happier you are, the more you can give to a relationship, whether that is a romantic one, a family one or a friendship.
Physical Health - There are many different types of well being, and they are not all focused on the mind.
Your well being will also have an impact on your physical health, so you need to concentrate on looking after your body too.
