Welllness
is defined as the amount
of physical and psychological energy a student invests in the college
experience with
faculty, peer group, academics health, nutrition, exercise, and spiritual
pursuits.
In
college, a large amount of unhealthiness is attributable to a categorically
small amount of health related behaviors: smoking, diet, having a sedentary
lifestyle, alcohol abuse, and unwise sexual activity.
CTG advises
(not lectures) young adults on the benefits and/or consequences of
certain behaviors. We have seen it all.
The key principle
that is communicated is for college students to learn how to formulate
and follow through on healthy and attainable goals. Unrealistic goals
cause dissatisfaction and are actually a form of sef-destructive behavior.
