Document Summary

Preparing well for your exams helps to achieve emotional wellness. Emotional wellness incorporates other psychological aspects: it is a dynamic state that fluctuates with the other components of wellness: intellectual wellness. Creativity, a sense of humour, and openness to new ideas reflect a dynamic (rather than static) intellectual wellness. One definition of aging is the unwillingness to try new things: spiritual wellness. Whether spiritual wellness is attained by organized religion or personal development does not matter; the end is more important than the means: interpersonal and social wellness. If you put yourself in total isolation for a few weeks you will begin to appreciate the value of quality social contact. Do you contribute to the community around you or are you just a big sinkhole that only receives from the community: environmental and planetary wellness. This global concept includes a vast number of environmental problems from second hand smoke to ozone depletion over antarctica.
