Social Health
As humans, we thrive on connections with others. We're a global community and we need interactions on a daily basis to feel fulfilled and to live happily. Social health involves the quality and types of relationships you have with the people in your life. Family, friends, mentors, co-workers, classmates. They're all important and they all impact your social health in some way. Social health also is a measure of how well you get along with others. This gauges your tolerance and open-mindedness to people who are different from you or live differently. The ability to develop and maintain friendships is so important. These types of relationships add value to your life and contribute to the creation of your overall social support network. Man (or woman!) cannot thrive in isolation. We need emotional and physical support to be whole.

While spiritual health can have something to do with someone's religiosity, it is not a necessity to be involved in a religious community. Spiritual health has more to do with your morals and values and how they influence the direction your life takes. It involves being able to discern right from wrong and to question the meaning of our existence.
No area is more important than the other. In fact, most times levels of each are in flux. It is possible to be doing well in some areas, while suffering is occurring in others. The key to overall health is the old cliche... BALANCE. Not an easy concept or practice. But the more we increase our focus on working towards homeostasis in the four areas mentioned above, the healthier and happier we'll be.
