Other strategies for well being

Figure 3.2 illustrates the five essential aspects needed to ensure well being. Research into stress has repeatedly shown how a healthy, well balanced diet and regular exercise act as protective factors against stress and other types of disease. Even a moderate amount of regular exercise can act as a buffer (Gerber et al. 2010). However, these factors need to be balanced out with a good support network (Nahum-Shani and Bamberger 2011), some kind of connection with one’s spirituality (whether that is a belief in God, or a higher power, or some kind of spiritually uplifting activity, such as listening to music or practising yoga). Finally, it has been shown that people living according to their values are more likely to be happier and live longer, compared to people who do not ‘walk their talk’ (Robbin 2006).
