Beyond the absence of mental and physical illness, health is a feeling of strength and energy from your body and mind.

Feeling part of and contributing to something bigger than yourself. Knowing that your contributions in life matter. Having purpose in your life.

Knowing that you are safe from physical and psychological harm. Feeling secure enough to take calculated risks and show vulnerability. Free of concern about meeting basic life needs.

Experiencing positive, trusting relationships with others. Feeling a sense of belonging, acceptance and support.

Feeling you have the support, resources and autonomy to achieve your goals. Succeeding at meeting your individual goals and aspirations.

Feeling like you are progressing in life. Learning and being challenged to use and expand on your strengths.

Maintaining a positive outlook on life.  Not to ignore challenges but rather persevere through them.  Feeling grateful and expressing appreciation.
