Discussion Holistic Health:The 2 most important dimensions in my life as of now would probably be my physical and intellectual health. As a student athlete I am always looking to be the best athletic version of myself and to maintain good grades in the classroom. These dimensions will change in the next 5-10 years, I will probably be trying to be active in 5-10 years but it would be drastically different then the activities I am doing now. My intellectual health would be more developed and I would be focusing on my career. Psychological health effects everyones relationships because their mindset decides how they interact with people.

Reflection: Right now, I really focus on my physical and intellectual health because being a student-athlete means balancing sports and school. In the future, my priorities will shift more toward my career and staying active in new ways. I also believe that psychological health plays a big role in how we treat others and build relationships.

Discussion Characteristics Of A Healthy Relationship:
1) A healthy relationship has trust, respect, honesty, good communication, and support. Both people feel safe, cared for, and treated equally.

2) If a relationship becomes stressful, I would remind myself (or others) to step back and identify what is causing the stress. It’s important to talk openly, set boundaries, and seek help if needed. If the stress continues and the relationship does not improve I would say it would be time to move on.

3)From the chapter reading, examples of positive relationships include ones that show good communication, mutual respect, encouragement, and problem-solving together. Examples of negative relationships include controlling behavior, lack of trust, constant criticism, dishonesty, and emotional or physical abuse.

Reflection: Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, honesty, and good communication. When things get stressful, it’s important to talk about the problem, set boundaries, and know when it’s time to move on. Positive relationships help both people grow, while negative ones bring stress and hurt.
