The two principles of wellness are physical wellness and social wellness. Physical wellness means ability to recognize the benefits of physical activities and adopting healthy habits such as routine check-ups of vital signs, a balanced diet and exercise while avoiding the use of tobacco, drugs and excessive use of alcohol.

Second, social wellness is characterized by the ability of an individual to connect with other people in the world and become aware of their importance in the society as well as take an active part in improving our surrounding by encouraging healthier living and build a better living space in the community (Hettler, 1976).

In recent discussions of movie trailers, a controversial issue has been whether trailers present a clear theme. On the one hand, some argue that Annabelle 2 is about a child that becomes possessed and A Cure for Wellness is about a hospital that cures the ill. From this perspective, viewers only pay attention to the surface of the trailers. On the other hand, however, others argue that Annabelle 2 is about believing in Christ, and if you believe and put it in his hands, then everything will work itself out. Some also believe that A Cure for Wellness is about a hospital that experiments on the living to find a cure for the small sicknesses. In sum, then, the issue is whether, Annabelle 2 poses demon possession, or defending your faith. The issue presented with A Cure for Wellness is whether the medical facility cures the ill or experiments on people for greater purposes. Movie trailers present clear and hidden themes by the use of rhetorical devices through camera angles and soundtracks.

My definition of aging, disability, and chronic illness has defiantly changed since taking this course.

Also, disability is much more involved than the physical impairment, it involves caring for the disabled using guidelines and BSN Core Competencies.

My personal definition of wellness is, being healthy and contributing safely to our society. My health definition would be, working hard to keep oneself fit by working out and eating healthy. Along with taking supplements and vitamins. The greatest factors that influence you would have to be, family, friends and media. I picked those three because we hear them the most and we listen to our family and friends because we trust them. They would try to hurt us and always want the best for yourself. Even with our family and friends wanting the best, sometimes they can be wrong. Media influences us by hearing the same things many times a day. So we tend to think that is right or okay in our society. What are we always on, social media, along with

Achieving and maintaining a proper level of health and wellness is an essential facet of successful living. Thus, I have chosen to devote a substantial quantity of time to reaching specific goals related to my overall wellbeing. In terms of the seven dimensions of wellness discussed in class, I have been able to attain differing levels of success in each category. Firstly, I believe that my social wellness (ability to relate and connect with others) is strong despite the fact that I only spend significant amounts of time with a select number of people. In regards to my emotional wellness, I tend to become overly anxious when faced with challenges. Thus, I am hoping to see improvement in my ability to cope with stress and personal trials. I

What is wellness? “Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy life. Wellness is also a process for change and growth” (Health Topic – What is wellness?). To have acceptable wellness you should have an equal amount of social, emotional/mental, and physical health. I, myself, believe that I have an okay wellness, I mean not like full wellness but just enough to pass I'll say. But how am I living in wellness?

The first of the six dimensions is physical wellness, which is your body’s overall wellness. This includes the absence of illness and disease and your body’s fitness level. You have to make good, healthy choices to be physically well. Eating healthy, exercising, and seeing a doctor on a regular basis for check-ups are all conducive to physical wellness. Some good examples of people who have achieved physical wellness are; Lance Armstrong and the Venus

Where I personally am at in the physical dimension is on the lower end for flexibility and cardiorespiratory, but around average for the muscular strength and endurance. I am a bit overweight and have been for the most recent years of my life due to lack of motivation to work to and keep off the weight. As of late, my dietary habits have been atrocious, but I hope to change that. One great thing about my physical dimension of wellness though is my great immune system. Getting sick is rare for me and only really happens once or twice a year.

The Dimensions of Health and Wellness (DHW) contain concepts that are easily applied and comparable to the fields of Physical Education, Exercise and Sports Science (PES). The DHW include physical health, mental health, intellectual health, social health, emotional health, environmental health, spiritual health, and occupational health. Adaptability and biological fitness play in as well. All of these are very important and play an integral role in the success of the PES fields and their holistic nature. (Kroll. D.
