In Slovakia, the term \u201ewellbeing\u201c is becoming established. Translations like \u201equality of life,\u201c \u201ecomfort,\u201c \u201ewelfare,\u201c and \"positive development\" are not entirely felicitous, or rather, do not encompass the full breadth of its meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wellbeing is a combination of feelings and states that create a kind of overall harmony.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to well-being, it's about enthusiasm for one's work (not just economic profit), the need to build and maintain healthy relationships, and it also captures the need for stability in one's own finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this package of feelings, we mustn't forget to add the level and quality of our health \u2013 both mental and physical \u2013 both took a hit during COVID. Last but not least, this also includes a feeling of harmony with the social environment in which we live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though the concept of wellbeing is unknown to many, its history goes back 80 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on long-term research 5 statistically significant factors were identified<\/strong>. The good news is that we can all influence them to some extent. Let's take a look at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Meaningfulness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The mission of every person is (or at least should be) to create value. It doesn't matter if it's in personal or professional life. The goal should be meaningful work with a specific purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Finance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Everyone needs money, but we perceive the feeling of financial stability differently. A stable economic situation within the family, and at work, contributes to a sense of well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Relationships<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Interpersonal relationships, whether in the workplace or within the family, are an extremely important part of well-being. The quality of relationships has a proven impact on our health and overall life satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Health<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Let's stay on the topic of health, as it's an inseparable factor of well-being. During COVID, the importance of mental health increased significantly. We should not forget about physical health either \u2013 we can influence this with good lifestyle habits and physical activity, or mental exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Company<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Empathy and helping others fills us with satisfaction. Participating in activities (in our city or workplace) helps us socialize more and achieve common goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These individual factors are interconnected and influence each other.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let's illustrate this with an example. If you have the flu with a fever, your health is affected. At the same time, this condition affects your financial well-being (less income from sick pay, expenses for treatment, etc.). Interpersonal relationships (especially at work) are significantly limited during illness. Your condition prevents social contact and at the same time, you are unable to perform your full duties at work or at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a Gallup poll, Two-thirds of people are successful in at least one area. Only 7% of respondents reported being successful in all five factors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
We've already mentioned that factors influence each other. If you start doing exceptionally well in one area, it also affects the remaining 4 factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People with higher well-being are healthier, more productive, more resistant to stress, and better at facing challenges. <\/strong>They cope more easily with social crises (for example, the current pandemic). They recover more quickly from unexpected events, are more willing to help, and contribute in various ways to the development of communities, organizations, and society.<\/p>\n\n\n
