WELLNESS
what is wellness?
Well-being is known as the state of the human person in which the proper functioning of their somatic and psychic activity becomes sensitive.
As such, the term refers to a state of personal satisfaction, or comfort that provides the individual with economic, social, work, psychological, biological satisfaction, among others.
However, well-being is a subjective state since the human being, being so diverse and different, has different ways of perceiving what a well-being situation can be, which means that what for a person could be a well-being situation for another might not be, so it will be up to each one to differentiate if they feel in a beneficial state or not.
For example, for some people the welfare state is represented by having a good car, a good job, dressing with a brand, good vacations, good interpersonal relationships, family relationships, among others.
Finally, the term well-being appears for the first time in the 16th century to designate the satisfaction of physical needs, while in the 18th century this term refers to the material situation that allows satisfying the needs of existence.
Can you really improve your well-being?
Increasing your wellness is simple; there are endless skills you can cultivate. But increasing your wellness isn't always easy - figuring out which parts of wellness are most important to you and figuring out exactly how to develop wellness skills usually requires additional help.
How long does it take to improve well-being?
Usually when people start to consistently use science-based techniques to improve their well-being, they start to feel better pretty quickly. In the studies that I have done and read, most people show significant improvements within five weeks.
But you have to be consistent. If you feel better after five weeks, you can't stop there.
Where does wellness come from?
Well-being arises from your thoughts, actions, and experiences, most of which you have control over. For example, when we think positive, we tend to have greater emotional well-being. When we seek meaningful relationships, we tend to have better social well-being. And when we lose our job, or just hate it, we tend to have less well-being in the workplace. These examples begin to reveal just how broad wellness is and how many different types of wellness there are.
