In understanding this definition of wellness, I am able to state the eight components: physical, social, emotional, environmental, spiritual, financial, intellectual, and occupational.

This generation is the first to experience growing up with it being “normal” to be overweight because it has become so common. American’s lifestyle has changed and so has eating habits.

By being responsible now, college students can assure their future. We must relate college and personal responsibility to have a successful life. Having a plan or layout for our education will reinforce our responsibilities. Living a healthy lifestyle, creating habits that will keep our personal, social and environmental condition in good shape. Morally we act responsible every day, and it reflects who we are and how we think. Even though sometimes difficult decisions are to be made we must never forget that we are responsible for our actions. To me personal responsibly means being aware, thus sometimes it is easier not have any, responsibility means the road towards the future. Famous writer producer and entrepreneur Walt Disney once stated that “all of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them”. (Daily Examiner [Grafton, N.S.W] 05 Oct 2011 p.2). The road to our success starts with having financial stability. Thinking outside the box having a control over our finances, what we spend every month, or even as close as to every day can ensure that we know exactly what goes in and out of our bank accounts, thus making it easier to plan ahead. I have discovered that by developing habits this can be accomplished. Like any goal being financially stable...

To get a full understanding on where you stand on your health and fitness levels, you should regularly assess yourself. There are some specific attributes that an individual should check often to properly judge where they stand on their health and fitness levels.

Before you start any exercise program, it is best to start by doing an assessment so that you know your fitness level before proceeding.

...Government Regulate People’s Choice A healthy nation translates to faster growth, productivity, innovation, and other factors that contribute to well being of its people. Therefore, government should prioritize on ensuring it’s nation is healthy. Government reluctance on health issues can cost any nation a fortune. However, government involvement should cover all sectors of the health department. The government should prioritize these sectors, for example: FDA, disease control, and many more. Concerns have been raised concerning smoking, drinking and eating habits as they are the main causes of death in the world today. Diseases related to unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, poor diet, and GMO’s are rampant in developed countries. While, trying to unearth the truth about unhealthy habits, the ideal posed in this paper has most health professionals and government officers have been struggling to answer. It is morally correct to have the government regulate personal choices on the above raised problems. As mentioned early, mortality rate caused by unhealthy habits is staggering. The leading causes of these deaths obesity and diseases like diabetes, coronary heart failure, and respiratory diseases caused mainly by unhealthy diet, smoking, and drinking (DA and DHHS, 20).

They argue a “safe environment, communicating, breathing, eating and drinking, eliminating, personal hygiene, controlling body temperature, mobilising, working and playing, expressing sexuality, sleeping and dying” (Siviter 2002). The nurse will need to be able to assess where there are problems of continuing a sufficient quality and quantity of self-care activity for the patient's health and well-being. The care is delivered to meet the requirements of the patient by means of a care plan “that is put into place on admission.” In the process of care and structure of the individualization of care exists.

...psychological and physical disorders, as well as understanding the criteria for disorders (“Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP),” 2009). What they don’t necessarily teach us in many textbooks though, is that in order to be effective, addiction counselors need to have quality self care plans in place. First, to prevent burn out, I will lean on my colleagues for guidance. Those in the areas of social work and addiction counseling are sometimes known to protect one another, even when they shouldn’t (“Interprofessional Clinical Supervision in Mental Health and Addiction: Toward Identifying Common Elements,” 2007). Sometimes, colleagues are even known to sweep the mistakes of one another under the rug, when they may have actually harmed a patient (“Interprofessional Clinical Supervision in Mental Health and Addiction: Toward Identifying Common Elements,” 2007). I very much do not want my colleagues to do that for me. If it appears that I am experiencing burn out and that my patients may be at risk as a result, I plan to have a close network of trusted colleagues in place to speak up and help me realize my own burn out. I plan to achieve this through open and honest dialogue about expectations with them prior to any type of burnout ever occurring. To avoid burn out in myself as...

...Essay - HNC Business Management Level 4 Personal and Professional Development 1.1 Cunningham1 has defined self-managed learning as “…idealised adult action learning”. Therefore, self learning is a process where the learner develops their learning goals, decides on strategies to make it happen, identifies resources needed to achieve it and adopts the process to evaluate their achievement. Self managed learning can only be effective if a person has the ability to independently decide about their learning and can manage this without much institutional support. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that most people, though understanding the need for such learning approach, are unable to identify and manage their learning without guidance and support from an institution. Hence, people go to an institution to learn. However, It is the responsibility of the learner to take charge of their learning. In an adult learning environment, where most learners have been out of touch with learning for a while, it is important that the tutors initially provide hands on approach to guide the learners. Gradually, ‘tutor dependency’ reduces and the learner becomes more self dependent, starting to manage their learning more effectively. Self learning process can be facilitated through research, using online tools such as web logs, wikis, search engine facilities, use of social software and other multimedia tools such as audio and video equipment...

...the U.S. government provides a way to plan, track, and compare meals based on the nutrients needed by the individual. The website also provides an eating plan based on your height, weight, level of physical activity, and diet goals. Additionally, the website produces a nutrient report detailing the individuals average intake of a variety of nutrients, and compares and contrasts it to the target amount. Consuming proper nutrition is extremely important in living a healthy lifestyle. Paying clear attention and keeping an eye on your personal daily nutrition values and intake is vital to maintaining an adequate diet. The purpose of this paper is to analyze my personal dietary intake as a way of better understanding the ways in which the foods I consume are helping or hurting my overall nutrition and health. My personal daily intake will be analyzed to determine what foods are providing the right type of nutrients, and how food consumption might be adjusted to provide for a healthier nutrient intake. For this analysis, I created a plan using Super Tracker that was based on my current weight and activity level, and my goal to lose weight. My physical activity was tracked for the week of March 13- March 19, and my meals were tracked for the day of March 15, 2016. Prior to this project, I had recently changed my lifestyle. My eating habits have been very poor in the past, and my activity level was sedentary. In order to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle, the recommendations I received...

...Access Access to adequate health care is very important factor in our health delivery plan. Every citizen regardless of economic status or location should be afforded the true definition of health access which is the ability to obtain affordable, convenient, acceptable, and effective personal health services in a timely matter. (Singh, 2008) As it stands today, the availability of health care is not equal for all. “Certain population groups in the United State face greater challenges then than the general population in accessing timely and needed health care services.” (Singh, 2008, p. 428) Being able to have access to adequate health care is the key factor of whether a not a person is able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We believe that by expanding access to rural areas, promoting freestanding clinics and urgent care centers, and integrating public and private sector insurance to facilitate competition are steps in the right direction to ensure adequate access to all. Over the years there has been a major increase in physicians. “Current numbers far surpass the estimated 145 to 185 physicians per 100,000 populations that the United States actually needs.” (Singh, 2008, p. 129) these physicians are not being equally distributed throughout the health care system evenly. "Although all Americans are affected by problems with our health care delivery system, an overwhelming body of evidence demonstrates that certain populations are significantly...
