Socioeconomic issue is also an important affecting factor, generally people with higher education and higher income tends to be less prone to stress. Due to their individual live is at a greater life quality. Quality of life can be defined as "individuals' perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns." (WHOQOL, 1995). Socioeconomic status tends to be inversely related to participation in leisure–time physical activity, which may be related to people with low incomes having less discretionary time and less access to exercise facilities and green spaces (McNeill et al., 2006) In developed countries, people tend to have a sedentary lifestyle which can leads to higher levels of obesity, therefore lower overall well–being.

(NHS choices, 2010) The researchers concluded: "There is an emerging trend of increased certification of obesity as a cause of death in England." (NHS choices, 2010) Levels of obesity are increasing dramatically and, if current trends continue, around 90% of men and 80% of women will be overweight or obese by 2050. (Black, DC, 2008).

What does treating the body, mind, and soul mean to you? And why is it important? Treating the body, mind, and soul means to me having balance in these areas because it contributes to a person's overall health and well–being. The seven principles of wellness include "wellness is holistic, the self is the only true healer, wellness is your responsibility, positivity is empowerment, wellness is an active process, wellness is outcome–oriented, and prevention eliminates the need for treatment" (Hopper, 2016).

Provide examples of how you treat the body, mind, and soul as you facilitate family and group sessions? How does treating the body, mind, and soul in groups and families differ from when working with individual clients? When facilitating a group or family in therapy the body, mind, and soul are treated by providing therapeutic services a social worker works with the groups and families to help them overcome problems and help them to make changes and in doing so it improves the family and individual's well–being and mental or emotional health or helps to resolve problems with behavior and beliefs, or other things and improves relationships or people's lives by addressing the issues and finding solutions. Counseling and therapy leads to wellness for the clients and improves their health and well–being and that is done by encouraging the family and group, empowering them, supporting them, and allowing them to help themselves.

I mostly have acquaintances, people who I would talk to but won't tell them personal stuff. Anyways my physical health isn't the best. I keep having of back pains, and sometimes chest pains that hurt like crazy. That is why my resolution is to exercise. I'm starting in Spring where I can do much more stuff like play sports and go walking. It's also a great thing that I'm in gym, if I wasn't I wouldn't know about all the problems that could happen to me if I kept being lazy. I judge my behaviors have something to do with my problems.
It is important to think about your behaviors because you need think about how it will affect you and the other person. If you call someone ugly and say just kidding you don't know how that person will feel about you saying that. The person might be laughing now, but later they will look back at that comment and start thinking about if they are ugly or not. There are people who can take jokes, there are people who can't. Just put together who is and isn't. There are times in class when you are learning something, and there is that one person who wants to talk in class when you're learning. They aren't thinking about how they are making others feel, just themselves. When you say something they start getting defensive for no reason. That's why you don't say something. You can't do anything but tell the teacher, or just learn from them. Don't be the person who will hurt others education. They aren't hurting anyone

According to Floyd, Mimms and Yelding (2008) Webster's Dictionary defines health as "the condition of being sound in body, mind and spirit... freedom from physical disease or pain." This definition has very much taken the holistic view. Wellbeing is a term in which reflects on the positive emphasis on health and can be broken down into six aspects know as environmental, physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual. To achieve a high balance of wellbeing it is vital that a person is able to balance and take care of each aspect effectively. Underdown (2007) implies that in 1948 the World Health Organization(WHO) defines health as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social well–being and not just the absence of disease or infirmity.' This definition took a holistic view as it mentions mental and social wellbeing and it was supported as it focused on a person being healthy rather than not being ill. However, this definition has been widely criticized. Seedhouse (1986) believed that for someone to be in perfect state of health is unachievable and unrealistic.
