Carla has become very busy since she came to college. She is a full-time student and is very active in campus clubs and organizations. Her classes and campus activities leave her little time to socialize with her friends. She is beginning to feel that she has let her friends down because she has had to cancel several activities they had planned, but she also feels guilty if she isn't able to meet her other obligations. Carla has always thought that she was in control of her life and has managed well up until now. She wants to spend more time with her friends without giving up her other activities. If Carla succeeds in improving her target area of wellness, she will most likely see a corresponding improvement in her _______________ wellness.

Answer 1

The answer is: Emotional wellness

Emotional wellness refers to your ability to maintain the stability of your feeling, handling your stress level, and enjoying your life.

While economic factor usually play an important role in maintaining our overall wellness, emotional wellness tend to be influenced more by our social interaction.

In Sara's case, she has only two option to improve her emotional wellness.:

- The first option is to sacrifice the time that she spent for her education and allocate it to socialize with her friends. (the downside of this option is that her education result could be worsened)

- The second option is to find new people that currently pursue the same thing with her. So rather than sacrificing the time she put for education, she can find a friend that can be an emotional support for her while she focus on her education/career..
