Physical health: When I am eating right exercising and getting enough rest I am less prone to illness, stress and exhaustion. When I have done these things in my life I find that I function on a daily basis a lot better. With exercise and a healthy diet you release happy endorphins which minimize stress and allow me to focus and complete task effectively.
Social health: Social health reminds me of what we learned about social and academic writing, I have found they have a lot of similarities. The ones that I have noticed is that you need to be able to maintain a certain level of professionalism when interacting with certain people., work staff and clients. There are certain conversations and behaviors that are not acceptable with everyone.
My personal relationships with my friends and family allow me to vent about the work place or to seek personal advice that I could not get ask for in my work environment.
Intellectual health: it allows me to review what has happened in the past and make a reasonable assumption of what will happen in the future. For instance, I have found that when I hire people that are in the business for 20 years they are not interested in following most likely not to follow the structure of the company; as if you hire a new person fresh they do not have any other experience. So there for I like to hire new people out of school because they can be molded to the SportClips way.
Environmental health: Keeping a clean environment and not doing things that are detrimental to the environment. I do my part by doing things such as not using harsh chemicals in my daily life and recycling.
