What is well-being and are you at peace with yourself?
There are many answers to this question, but it essentially boils down to three things: feeling comfortable, healthy, and happy in your life. Well-being is linked to satisfaction in life and ultimately, how you feel about yourself. Well-being is tied to your mental health and whether you find yourself in need of a counselor to help you if you are in psychological distress.
There are three questions that help address your state of well-being.
- Do you feel like yourself?
If you say no, or “I don’t know,” this may be an indicator that something is amiss even before knowing yourself what is going on.
- What is missing?
If you answered “no” to question #1, the next question to ask is what is missing in your life that will help you feel like the person you know yourself to be?
- Do you have interest, fun, and relaxation in your life?
Your sense of well-being is also dependent on your capability to explore the world around you – to live as fully as you choose. The question to ask yourself is whether you can make room for interest, fun, and relaxation in your life.
To have good mental health, it is essential to keep in touch with your own internal world. Most of us can keep up with the business of life – our external world – but that can become one-sided and detrimental to who we are as people. Seeking assistance from a counselor to help you achieve inner well-being is worth the effort. After all, your life is what you make of it. Why not feel happier? Try some counseling to help you through the process.
