Wellness consciousness is a way of being aware of how your daily choices affect your health. This can help you prioritize your physical, mental and emotional health.
This study aims to investigate the influencing mechanism of wellness consciousness on home-based exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results show that health life goal and perceived behavioral control have a mediating effect between wellness consciousness and home-based exercise.
Mood
The ability to recognize and express emotions is a key aspect of emotional wellness. This is important because it allows people to understand how their thoughts and feelings affect their health. It also helps them develop a more balanced outlook on life.
A mood is a state of feeling, characterized by an emotional tone or general attitude. It is usually described as positive or negative, and can be influenced by many factors, including fatigue, stress, social interactions, world events, hormones, weather, and hunger.
Moods can have an impact on motivation, decision-making, and behavior. For example, if someone is in a good mood, they may be more likely to exercise regularly and make healthy choices. Additionally, they might be less reactive to stressful situations. Mood is thought to reflect a prior expectation of precision, which can be modulated by confidence levels. This can be illustrated in a two-dimensional space, where depression corresponds to an expected unpredictability with low precision (red lines), and mania is the corresponding high precision and confidence about the environment.
Well-being
Wellness consciousness is an active process of learning what makes you feel balanced and well in all areas of life. It includes having your basic needs fulfilled, as defined by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs; developing a strong belief system and values; enriching life through work; and being socially, intellectually, and physically engaged.
Another aspect of wellness is practicing self-discipline. People who prioritize their health usually have a high level of discipline when it comes to eating healthy and exercising regularly. They also avoid activities that could negatively affect their health, such as smoking or surfing social media all day long.
Studies show that wellbeing is linked to different components of life, including psychologically, financially, occupationally, and environmentally. However, there are differences in how these aspects are conceptualized across cultures. For example, some people may consider optimism and contentment as part of their wellbeing, whereas others may not. These differences in wellbeing may be related to cultural norms and beliefs.
Spirituality
Spiritual wellness encompasses a strong sense of purpose, peace, hope and meaning in life. This is a source of strength that becomes even more important in times of crisis or illness.
A person with a strong sense of spiritual wellness also has a high level of faith and hope and is deeply committed to their own beliefs. They understand that they are part of a larger world and that what they do has an impact on the whole.
A spiritually healthy person understands that the earth is a sacred place and that they must treat it with respect. They are mindful of their impact on the environment and strive to live in harmony with nature. They are able to separate themselves from negative, self-destructive thoughts and redirect their energy towards more positive emotions. They also know that they have a responsibility to help those less fortunate than themselves. They are able to forgive and love unconditionally.
Relationships
People often associate wellness with physical health – a healthy diet, exercise and good blood pressure. However, a full sense of wellness is multidimensional and involves many other areas of our lives such as social, emotional, spiritual, occupational and environmental.
In a conscious relationship, partners put each other’s growth first. They also recognize that love can sometimes be uncomfortable, and they work to navigate abrasive moments. This is an essential part of creating a loving relationship that is based on conscious love.
In a recent study, researchers found that health consciousness positively correlated with health life goal and perceived behavioral control, which in turn, mediated home-based exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who are more health-conscious tend to have better habits and be self-disciplined, which makes it easier for them to follow a healthy lifestyle. Their energy and productivity can also make them great team members at work or in their social circles. They may even inspire others to live a healthier life.
