Health
Health is a combination of physical, mental/emotional, and social well-being. These parts of your health work together to build good overall health. If you ignore any one part, your total health suffers. By the same token, if you make improvements to one side, the others benefit. For example, when you participate in physical activities, you improve your physical health. This helps you feel good about yourself, benefiting your mental health. Activities can also improve your social health when you share them with family and friends.

Physical health is the condition of your body. Physical health is measured by what you do as well as what you don’t do. People who want to be healthy avoid harmful substances such as tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. They balance the amount of time they spend watching TV or playing computer games with physical activity. Physical activity includes things such as playing sports, hiking, aerobics, swimming, dancing, and taking a walk. By avoiding harmful substances and being physically active, you can stay physically healthy. In other words, being physically healthy means taking care of your body.

Mental/emotional health is measured by the way you think and express your feelings. You can develop good mental/emotional health by learning to think positively and to express your feelings in healthy ways. Positive thinking is a good strategy to use when you are feeling sad or down. Try focusing your attention on all of the good things in your life, such as your friends, family, and activities you enjoy. Then the cause of your sadness might not seem so bad. Likewise, recognizing and building your strengths will help you feel good about yourself.

Good social health means communicating well with and having respect for family, friends, and acquaintances. It also means building relationships with people you can trust and who can trust you in return. You might build a relationship with a counselor or coach, someone you trust and can go to when you have a problem. A close friend at the institute may need you to listen to them if they have a problem or need advice.
