“By taking action when you’re lonely, by changing your responses to failure, by protecting your self-esteem, by battling negative thinking, you won’t just heal your psychological wounds, you will build emotional resilience, you will thrive.” This is an excerpt from Guy Winch’s Ted Talk at Linnaeus University “Why We All Need to Practice Emotional First Aid.” During his talk, Winch compares how much we prioritize and focus on our physical health while neglecting our emotional health, despite the two being connected. This concept relates to the seventh habit in Stephen R. Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” as well as “Emotional Intelligence 2.0” written by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves. Winch uses the practical ideal of analysis …show more content…

In society we take great pride in maintaining our physical health but we neglect our emotional and mental health. He questions why we value our physical health so much more than our psychological health. This compliments Covey’s seventh habit, Sharpen the Saw. It is considered to be a principle of balanced self-renewal and “surrounds the other habits on the Seven Habits paradigm because it is the habit that makes all the others possible” (Covey, 2004). This habit in particular is composed of four dimensions – physical, spiritual, mental, and social/emotional. The physical dimension is constructed of exercise, nutrition and stress management while the mental dimension relates to reading, visualizing, planning and writing. The spiritual dimension consists of value clarification and commitment, and study and meditation and the social/emotional dimension is made up of service, empathy, synergy, and intrinsic security (Covey, …show more content…

He addresses the theories that low self-esteem can lead someone to be more vulnerable to stress and anxiety; that rejections and failures can be hurtful to one’s self-esteem; and that it can take longer to recover from these psychological injuries than physical injuries. Instead of taking your emotions out on something or someone when you receive rejection, one should focus on reviving their self-esteem (Bradberry & Greave, 2009). For someone to improve their self-esteem and avoid emotional pain, having a strong sense of self-awareness and self-management would be greatly

Two of the definitions are written in this book. Bradley and Howell state, “dimension is the number of coordinates required to specify a point in the object” (p.64). They also mention some main topics of dimension such as: fractal dimension, a twist on dimension, higher dimension, and entering lower dimension which allows the authors to discuss fractal geometry. A pivotal part of this chapter is Herman Grassmann’s research which describes dimension as a bridge that connects science and faith. Additionally, the material of higher dimensions helps us to understand how God transcends the universe through observable principles such as our senses, and experiences.

The old saying, “An apple a day will keep the Doctor away,” may pertain to more than just ones body. Just like an apple is healthy for ones body, using ones mind is healthy for the overall well-being of oneself and everyone else around. An individual has the choice on what to “feed” their mind just like they have the decision on what to feed their body. Benjamin Franklin did not fail to utilize his mind wisely during the eighteenth century. Franklin used his mind to contribute and innovate to others and the things around him because for many, an underused mind and an overused knife are the same — dull.

Confidence is essential to living a happy, successful life. It is extremely hard to find any motivation or work hard at something if you have low self-esteem. However, there is a fine line between self confidence and arrogance or ignorance. While confidence is a great motivator, too much of it tends to end in more negative rather than positive consequences. In “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer and “Last American Man” by Elizabeth Gilbert, Chris McCandless and Eustace Conway share a passion for the wilderness.

Orem’s Self-Care Deficit theory includes 3 constituent theories, namely; the theory of self-care, the self-care deficit theory and theory of nursing systems. The theory states that an individual as an obligation to tend to their own needs. The person has a right and responsibility to engage in continuous self-maintenance, the capability to do so is termed an ‘’agency’’ ( Denyes, Orem and Bekel , 2001). In a nursing environment promoting independence is integral to practice, as with the thinking behind Orem’s theory , ‘’Implementing interventions to maintain a sense of control over their own experience of health maintenance promotes better outcome’s ‘’ (O’Shaughnessy ,2014).

Over the course of this winter quarter, I have learned in my class of Psychology of Wellness how to incorporate mindfulness into my daily life. The definition of mindfulness is considered an art. In the book of the Fully Present, the authors Susan Smalley and Diana Winston transmitted their wisdom on how to learn, practice and cultivate this art. According to the mentioned authors, they defined mindfulness as “the art of observing your physical, emotional, and mental experiences with deliberate, open, and curious attention” (2010, p.78). This definition shared by the authors is simple, but it communicates what are the characteristics that an individual needs to consider when it comes to being mindful.

When exploring what is health, it looks at the idea of an individual being free from illness or injuries (World Health Organization 1948). WHO further explains that it is the state of complete: physical, mental, and social well-being and not the absence of disease or infirmity (health context, 2018) In 1986 during Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, WHO said health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living, also is a positive concept emphasizing social, personal resources, and physical capacities.
