Well-being is so much more than a number on a scale or a trip to the gym. Becoming your all-around best means understanding yourself and developing the skills to take on the challenges of everyday life. Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota has created BlueElements – an approach to turning the idea of total well-being into simple categories – to make it easier to see how you can be the best version of yourself at every age.
BlueElements is made up of six element categories.
Emotional
Learn to cope with life’s challenges by understanding yourself and your emotions.
Physical
Get energized with daily activities that stimulate your body and mind.
Financial
Understand your finances so you can be ready for unforeseen challenges.
Community
Create a space that supports a positive, healthy lifestyle for you and others.
Professional
Find motivation in your job or career while keeping a healthy work/life balance.
Social
Build and maintain positive, caring relationships with those around you.
Why well-being matters
Research shows that better well-being leads to decreased illness and injury, faster recovery times and better immunity. Yet the benefits go further. Your job. Your relationships. Your longevity. Every aspect of life benefits from living well.
