Social Wellness concentrates on how we relate with others. Whether those relationships are extremely close or a distant acquaintance, our connection with others has a huge impact.
Imagine a mother with a newborn baby or a married couple. In those relationships, both parties depend on each other to have a strong bond and deep connection. Imagine two strangers passing on a public road. They also depend on each other to behave in accordance with local laws and cultural norms. Our feelings of connection in various relationships will dictate our Social Wellness.
Social Wellness can include:
- Building a support system
- Engaging in community events
- Seeking mentorship based on mutual respect and growth
- Schedule quality time with family and friends
- Approach others with a mindset of curiosity and assume positive intent
Humans are social creatures by nature. To achieve optimal Social Wellness, you will need to establish ways to interact with others that enhance your quality of life. Cooperating with others and managing conflict in a healthy manner are things we learn through trial and error throughout life. If you struggle with this, seek out resources that can help you to maintain peace in challenging situations.
