According to Psychology Today, Personal Well-being is the experience of health, happiness, and prosperity. Generally, it means to feel good about yourself and your life. Personal Well-being is a unique combination of one's physical, emotional, mental, psychological, and spiritual health. The quality of our life influences our well-being. Many aspects of life are directly linked to our well-being. The sense of satisfaction and happiness you feel in life is deeply connected to one's Personal Well-being.
In today's age of technology, many aspects of life can influence one's happiness and satisfaction levels. International studies and research have shown that many factors can influence personal well-being in life. Such factors can indeed enhance one's well-being. Factors like healthy personal relationships are key to maintaining a sense of well-being in life. When your life includes a supportive network of friends who add value to your life, it enhances your state of happiness. Personal fulfillment comes from connection with healthy-minded people who support and encourage your journey.
Many important factors that can enhance and influence a person's state of wellness are an enjoyable career, enough money, sound health with a regular exercise regime, nutrition, healthy hobbies, optimistic mindset, happy and strong intimate relationship with a partner, volunteering for noble social causes, purposeful living, having a clear purpose in life and aligning ones life to a particular purpose, a healthy and positive self-image, a strong and positive sense of self, a sense of belonging, living in a fair and democratic society, religious beliefs and strong faith and a sense of fulfillment.
The important question
arises in one's mind that can personal wellbeing be enhanced? Is it humanly
possible to change one's state of happiness and satisfaction? According to various researchers, it is
indeed possible to improve the quality of our life which can directly impact
personal wellbeing. Enhancing Personal
Well-being is not easy as developing new habits that positively impact our
general well-being can take weeks to months as the key is consistency.
An Australian consumer
study showed that 58 percent of people wished that they could improve their
health and general well-being. In Pakistan, many young individuals are
grappling with depression and have negative views about their job, income, relationships,
and life generally.
The important concern
is how can well-being and a sense of happiness be increased and made
achievable.
Personal Well-being
and happiness are certainly possible. When we focus on important factors of our
life that need improvement, we can enhance our state of satisfaction. Well-being is elusive and can be different
for many people.
Building and maintaining a strong and valuable relationship with family and friends can increase your happiness. Asking for help from a counselor or doctor in the absence of healthy family ties can help as well. Taking care of one's nutrition, regular exercise, and incorporating enjoyable hobbies or rituals daily, self-care can certainly increase the sense of well-being and energy in life.
Therefore, Personal Well-being is an important and globally relevant dimension in today's society because one's sense of joy, happiness, and general well-being influences the quality of life and sustainability for future satisfaction.
