all the dimensions of health: physical, mental, emotional, social, and moral-

As an adolescent, you must be responsible with what you should be

dealing with what we are doing daily without getting tired easily and suffering
from undue fatigue.

Lets’ read and learn the dimensions of holistic health.

A. Physical Health

• It refers to the well-being of an individual.

Example: Dorai performs simple physical exercises every

tired and undue fatigued.
Example: Jane still has the energy to play/bond with her
friends after washing her clothes the whole morning.

B. Mental or Intellectual Health

• It refers to the ability of an individual to think and improve

his quality skills in life.
Example: Go out and make new friends, keep yourself busy
with school activities.

Example: Find good reason in your failures. Think that
everything happened for a good reason.

C. Emotional Health

• It is the ability to accept failures, cope with your

environment and consider the feeling of others.
Example: If a family member has left to work in other place,
you can easily accept the reality of being away from your
love ones.
• Understanding and liking oneself
Example: Self-love means finding peace and resting
comfortably in our own home.

D. Social Health

• It is how well you build relationship with your community,

and how you interact with the people that surround you.
Example: As a teenager you easily mingle and develop
friendship with the neighborhood.
• Social acceptance means to interact with different types of
people, accept and understand different norms and values.

your values and norms. It is the fact that most people act
