What’s New
There are five dimensions of holistic health. These are ______________________,
_________________, _______________, _________________ and _______________________.
An individual is affected _____________________ if food and shelter are not fully
satisfied. The person is affected _________________________ as he/she may feel
insecure and unsafe. If someone’s relationship with his/her suffers, he/she is not
_________________________ well. ________________________ means a person is able to
seek for God’s guidance for inner peace and harmony.
It is very clear that each dimension affects the other. These are like puzzle pieces

What is It
When you were younger, you did not think much about your health.
Everything is made readily available for you by your family such as foods, regular
check-ups, immunizations and other health concerns.
As young adults, your personal health now becomes your responsibility. Especially
now that we are amidst trying times due to the corona virus pandemic which is fast
spreading in the different communities all over the world. You need to be mindful of
how to maintain your health and wellness through establishing new routines and
practices to support healthy living. It is a positive approach that includes all
dimensions of health: physical, mental, emotional, social and moralspiritual.
Nowadays, the way you learn, work, and socialize in now changed by social
distancing. There are shifts and changes in your daily life. Alongside is the looming
uncertainties of the future. It is therefore important for you to become aware of the
different healthy habits and practices that will ultimately guide you on how you are
going to take care of yourself. Health is the well-being of your body, mind and
interrelationship. Put in mind that wellness means striving to live your life to achieve
your fullest potential, making decisions and acting in healthy ways. A new normal
requires new habits and some creative thinking about your wellness. When one
wants to have a high degree of holistic health, one must practice positive behaviour.
Now that adolescents like you are studying remotely at home, you must think
differently and creatively about ways to keep healthy in mind and body. For after all,
living a happy and balanced life is everybody’s dream.
