Nowadays, Well-being is no longer an exclusive process of the minority in our society. From a 7 year old boy to an elderly woman, the word ¡°Well-being¡± can easily be heard everywhere in our daily lives. However, people don¡¯t know or vaguely understand that the concept of Well-being is something good.
There is no official definition of Well-being, but the World Health Organization referred to Well-being in 1948 as the word ¡°Health; a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.¡± Since then, Well-being has been used in various fields, and it is directly concerned with Quality of Life(QOL).
The range of Well-being is wide. All behaviors for gaining a higher QOL are included. Eating well is basic. It is embodied in vegetarianism. Overseas, the movements for Well-being have already been diversified. The concept of LOHAS(Life of Health and Sustainability) has spread recently, which emphasizes a sustainable eco-friendly lifestyle. The Down-shifter, who goes back to rural life abandoning their high salary, and Slow-food preference, who are against Fast-food culture, are also sub-concepts of Well-being.
In the past, for the poor, pursuing mental stability in life was difficult to access. However, as the national income has increased, the Well-being industry has been developed and generalized. How about finding your own Well-being lifestyle and practicing it in your daily life?
