Behavioural wellbeing refers to one's characteristic behaviours and conduct in going about one's life, and responding or reacting to various situations. It's influenced by:
Personality
Attitude
History
Motivations
a. Personality: This remains largely unchanged throughout life, being roughly 60% nature and 40% nurture. That said, it can be informative to consider its relevance to one's behavioural makeup.
b. Attitude: You get to choose your attitude to life, which can positively or negatively shape your behavioural wellbeing and, in turn, influence your three internal kinds of wellbeing: intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Attitude includes self-efficacy and mindset.
c. History: You can't do much about your history, aside from stepping back and considering if your values, which inform your beliefs, which inform your rules, and which you acquired subconsciously from your parents, teachers, friends, and society as you grew up, are still working for you. The same goes for examining your habits.
d. Motivations: Motivations include your goals and aspirations, which can equally benefit from self-consideration.
The results of the interactions between your three internal kinds of wellbeing (intellectual, emotional, and spiritual) in determining your overall wellbeing are mediated by your behavioural wellbeing.
Here are some strategies that could be considered to improve or maintain behavioural wellbeing:
Personality
Attitude
History
Motivations
General Strategies
By focusing on these areas, you can actively improve your behavioural wellbeing, which in turn positively influences your intellectual, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, ultimately enhancing your overall wellbeing.
