Wellbeing For A Great Life In Townsville by Benjamin Setter
Have you ever heard on the news or just in conversation the word wellbeing?
Here is the Dictionary meaning of the noun wellbeing:
the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy.
an improvement in the patient’s well-being”
But to me the term means so much more, for Wellbeing is not just the absence of pain or illness. It is a complex combination of balance in a person’s physical, mental, emotional and social health factors. Wellbeing is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction. What are you doing to create the balance that will give you a sense of wellbeing?
But to me the term means so much more, for Wellbeing is not just the absence of pain or illness. It is your mental, physical and social outlook that effects this ultimate holistic term.
On another note as holistic as your body is, how happy you are in life is literally the well spring of your being and so will also have a great effect on your wellbeing as a whole.
So your wellbeing could be described as how you feel about life and very importantly how you feel about yourself!
Every aspect of your life influences your state of wellbeing so here are some factors for you to consider!
Happy intimate relationship with a partner
Respectful communication from your partner
A positive group of close friends that you can trust and interact with on a socially… Not just on Facebook

A Nutrition diet that looks past fast food
Sufficient sleep for adults not just your children
A gift you give yourself is a good Spiritual or religious belief!
