Occupational wellness involves being happy with one's job, having opportunities for success, and good relationships with coworkers. To achieve occupational wellness, one should pursue fulfilling work, improve skills, befriend colleagues, keep learning, and maintain a positive attitude like the superhero Mr. Incredible. Occupational wellness is exemplified by someone who loves their job, unlike Mr. Incredible who was unhappy in his desk job before becoming a superhero.

Stress management and sports
The document discusses stress, its causes and effects. It provides tips for managing stress through meditation, maintaining a positive mindset, relaxing activities, and getting sufficient sleep. Stress can be triggered by external pressures from work, family, sports or internal unresolved situations and is expressed mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. High stress levels are linked to health issues like asthma, heart disease and depression. Regular meditation and adopting stress-reducing principles can help maintain a stress-free life.
Application of Group Process to Adolescents
This document discusses the application of group counseling to adolescents. It defines adolescence as the period from ages 15-17 when a child develops into an adult. Group counseling can help adolescents by allowing them to discuss their struggles openly, learn from peers and leaders, and understand they are not alone. Effective group counseling requires establishing trust, knowing how much to disclose, handling reluctant members carefully, having an engaging leader, and encouraging participation. The goal is to help adolescents through their development challenges by processing their experiences in a supportive group environment.
Physical activity and mental health
This document reviews the literature on the mental health benefits of physical activity. It discusses how physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms of depression and other mental illnesses when used as a treatment. Regular physical activity may also help prevent future episodes of depressive illness. However, studies on the association between physical activity and mental health are limited and the relationship may depend on the intensity and type of physical activity. Overall, the literature demonstrates that physical activity can support mental health, but more research is still needed.
Physical fitness
Physical fitness is achieved through physical activity, exercise, nutrition, rest, and stress management. It reduces disease risk, improves health by lowering cholesterol and better sleep, and provides relaxation and stress relief. The key components of physical fitness are cardiovascular endurance, strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
Keeping healthy
The document discusses different food groups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It identifies carbohydrates, dairy, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals as key food groups. It emphasizes eating a balanced diet from these food groups and limiting unhealthy fats. Maintaining hygiene, getting enough rest, and regular exercise are also presented as important factors for overall health and preventing illness.
Wellness dimensions
Wellness encompasses 7 dimensions: social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual, and physical. Each dimension contributes to an individual's overall quality of life. Wellness involves maintaining balance across all dimensions through positive relationships, effective emotional regulation, finding purpose and harmony, taking responsibility for one's environment, deriving meaning from work, lifelong learning, and healthy behaviors.
