the individual’s ability to use her/his brain and think. This ability enables an
individual to face the problems as they arise, take her/his own decision, as well
as set reasonable goals.

Social Dimension

to the ability where an individual is able to make personal
Note adjustment, as well adjustment in the group or society. Sound
social health means having a good relationship with family,
friends, neighbours, and other members of the society. It also
includes maintenance of socially acceptable standard in life.
When we have a sound social interaction and relationship with fellow beings,
that significantly affects our health.

Emotional Dimension

Emotional dimension refers to emotional health which means emotional balance
and fitness. It is the ability of an individual to comprehend and
express feelings effectively when required. A person can be
called emotionally healthy if his/her emotions are always
positive, and has full control over her/his emotions. On the other
hand, a person who has no control over her/his emotions or is
over powered with negative emotions can be called emotionally
imbalanced or emotionally weak.

Spiritual Dimension

individual contributes significantly in recognising and attaining
meaning and purpose of life. It is our spirit which plays an
important role in genesis of ideas, values, beliefs, and ethics. This
dimension plays a significant role because if you are spiritually
healthy then you will be able to come with best ideas and you
will have good values, beliefes as well as ethics.

Occupational Dimension

Occupational dimension, also known as vocational dimension, is the ability to
satisfy our personal needs from our job or business. Our progress
depends upon our capacity to earn our livelihood and to meet
our economic needs. If we are occupationally satisfied that will
provide us emotional stability and mental relaxation.
Occupationally satisfied persons also contribute to the nation in
increasing production as well as national wealth. Thus,
