How we connect with others is fundamental to our sense of health and wellbeing. Relational (or ‘social’) wellness alludes to the strength and supporting nature of the relationships and connections we forge across our lives – whether it be with family, friends, partners, colleagues, or the wider community.
“Achieving relational wellness requires the building of healthy, nurturing, and supportive relationships as well as cultivating a genuine connection with those around you.”
Giving appropriate focus to your physical wellbeing and making positive lifestyle choices can help to prevent chronic diseases, such as obesity and cardiovascular disease, that can seriously affect long-term health. Dedicating some time each week to maintaining a good level of physical activity can also help to reduce high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, heart disease, and weakened bones and muscles.
Below are some questions to think about when assessing your physical wellness.
Do you have a physical schedule that supports general good health?
Have you had a physical examination in the last two years?
Are you getting enough quality sleep? If not, what’s stopping you?
Here are 5 top tips to help kickstart your journey into boosting your emotional wellbeing:
through online social networks, community events, or volunteering for a cause you feel passionate about.
What aspects of your social life do you enjoy? What parts would you like to improve?
In conversations show curiosity without being intrusive, listen attentively without interrupting, and tune into people’s needs to ascertain what might benefit them from your interaction.
who don’t live close by. Connect with someone new each week to keep those relationships strong.
Connecting with loved ones through handwritten communication is so special in this digital age and can strengthen bonds.
It should be noted that the path to wellness is not one size fits all, but the common thread for everyone is that wellness requires a holistic approach. The eight pillars are not prescriptive but should help form the basis of a personalised journey.
While there are many ways for you to take charge of your relational wellness, the help, guidance, and experience of a wellness professional can give you the boost you need, when you need it most.
