I'll start by being honest... I need to work on my interpersonal wellness. Which is exactly why I don't want you feeling bad if you need to work on yours too.

What Is Interpersonal Wellness?

To explain interpersonal wellness, it's basically the same as 'social wellness.' To work on your interpersonal dimension of wellness, the goal is to make or be involved in a community. Another important aspect is the 'pursuit of harmony' in family. However, interpersonal wellness isn't just friends and family... it also involves a connection with pets and nature.

Be Social, It's Healthy!

Fun Fact: People with a healthy social life perform better under stress.

The Wellness Journey

Think of working on your Interpersonal Wellness as a journey. As you get further on you journey you will become more comfortable socially and in your surroundings. You will also become more aware of your importance and general impact in society, this includes you impact on nature. You will find yourself thinking more about a healthy vs. an unhealthy living environment. You will discover your own superpower in making choices that improve your personal relationships. Ideally, you will realize that it is better to live in harmony with others, rather than in conflict. As well as realize the value in contributing to your community.

Interpersonal Wellness Includes:

having positive interactions

enjoying being with others

communicating feelings to others

developing and building close friendships

practicing empathy and listening to others

caring for others (including pets)

More importantly, allowing others to care for you

What Is Self-disclosure? Why Is It Important?

Self-disclosure is anytime you tell something about yourself. It can be as small as likes, dislikes or favourite foods... or it can be as big as fears, dreams, feelings, aspirations, goals and failures. Self disclosure is more important than I first thought it would be. Personality is a huge part in any relationship, in order to create a genuine relationship, disclosure is a must.

Why Worry About Interpersonal Wellness?

It will help build better communication skills. It promotes better mental health. It is healthier for you and the others around you.
