Well-being
Well-being
Well-being refers to being in a good state physically, mentally, and socially. It goes beyond the absence of illness to include thriving across many areas of life.
Details
Well-being is not simply the absence of disease, but a state of flourishing across many dimensions of life. The WHO defines health as 'not merely the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.' There are multiple dimensions to well-being: subjective well-being (happiness, life satisfaction), psychological well-being (self-actualization, personal growth), and social well-being (relationships, sense of belonging).
Well-being is not a final destination but an ongoing process that requires continual nurturing. Even small changes in daily habits can make a significant difference to your overall well-being.
