Let’s break the stigma around mental health and wellness, let’s don’t just learn about it or do a mental health test let’s talk and take clear simple steps that can be put in to practice.
How People Perceive Mental Wellness?
Mental wellness is a term that is increasingly used in the popular lexicon, but it is vague and not well-understood. People associate mental wellness with many different types of activities: meditating, listening to music, talking to a friend, taking a walk in nature, taking a vacation, getting a massage, taking a bubble bath, squeezing a stress ball, or just carving out some time for peace and quiet in daily life.
When we talk about mental wellness, we are not just focusing on our mental or cognitive functioning, but also our emotions; our social relationships; our ability to function in a daily life; and even our spiritual, religious, or existential state. Most people would agree that mental wellness is different than happiness, but very few could elaborate precisely how the two are different. Sometimes the term mental wellness is used synonymously with mental health or mental well-being, two terms that are also not well-defined. Below we offer a simple and concise definition for mental wellness.
What is mental wellness?
Mental wellness is an internal resource that helps us think, feel, connect, and function; it is an active process that helps us to build resilience, growth, and flourish.
This definition characterizes mental wellness as a dynamic, renewable, and positive resource, and as an active process that requires initiative and conscious action. It recognizes mental wellness as an internal experience that encompasses multiple dimensions:
Mental: How we think; how we process, understand, and use information.
Emotional: How we feel; how we manage and express our emotions.
Social: How we connect; our relationships with others.
Psychological: How we act or function, or how we “put the pieces together;” taking external inputs along with our internal capacity and then making decisions or doing things.
Our new definition of mental wellness distills the concepts included in many existing definitions, notably from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Surgeon General, to align with current practices and understanding. Key concepts included in those definitions are: feeling good, being resilient and functional, enjoying positive relationships, contributing to society or community, realizing potential, and having a sense of fulfillment or coherence.
Mental wellness is sometimes associated with the concept of psychological well-being, which includes self-acceptance, growth, purpose, autonomy, environmental mastery, and positive relationships. Mental wellness has been described as a process, a resource, a state of being, or a balance point between resources and challenges.
