Well-being.

Well-being is a concept related to how a person sees their situation in life. It can refer specifically to physical health, but it is often applied to an overall feeling of physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual health. Well-being includes aspects such as health, feelings of competence and purpose, connection to others, optimism, and financial status. It is important because people with a good sense of well-being tend to be happier and experience greater satisfaction with their situation and better motivation to continue doing well. Conversely, having a poor sense of well-being can limit a person’s ability to thrive and be productive.
