2-1 Discussion: Wellness and You
The most relevant dimension I selected is Emotional Wellness
List three factors that you think could help people improve their levels of
wellness, and then list three challenges that you think people could face regarding
that dimension
.
Exercise relieves endorphins that boost mood and help to clear one's
mind as well as reduce stress.
.
Building a strong support system-connecting with others keeps one from
isolating themselves. having someone to connect with will ensure that they are
not alone.
Seek professional treatment-seeing a counselor will give a sense of
direction as well as seeing someone that can prescribe medications that would
make it easier to cope with daily stressors.
Challenges one may experience relating to Emotional Wellness would be:
Lack of interest or motivation-having difficulties concentrating and
focusing on daily tasks can cause issues with holding a steady job
Relationship issues-lack of communication to have a healthy
relationship being able to communicate in an appropriate manner is needed.
Self-harm not being willing to accept help can lead to failure to cope with
life stressors which then can lead to suicidal thoughts or actions.
An event involving emotional Wellness that I have seen would be the
suicide of a close friend. after the devastating event I was lost and confused on
why it had happened he was a father of two and always seemed so happy This event made me realize you never really know what someone is going
through or may be struggling with. I know now that mental health can be
completely invisible to everyone around, I will never just assume that someone
is as happy and healthy as they may seem.
turned my life upside down I have little energy desire or focus which affects my job
family and relationship with my husband I understand that I am not alone and
reaching out for guidance does not make you weak but actually shows how strong
you really are COVID-19 has affected many people and concerns to mental health.
