Well-being isn’t simply a lack of illness. It includes various factors affecting an individual’s bodily, mental, and social fitness.

Practicing mindfulness helps with managing strain and depression. This study considers mindfulness as be a powerful device for dealing with intellectual and bodily fitness issues, in addition to commonly enhancing our overall performance, relationships, and well-being.
