Proper Management to Maintain Good Health and Well-Being

World Health Organization defined “self care” as “the ability of individuals,

families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to

cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a health-care provider”

(Webber, 2013, p. 15). Self-care includes health promotion, control and prevention of

disease, self-medication, responsible for caring dependent persons, look for hospital or

specialist if needed, and rehabilitation with medical care. Here are some examples you

can relate. Fitness comes first, it includes eating healthy foods and consume the right

amount, doing proper and right physical activity regularly, and allocate your time and

effort in joining social activities. Second, prevention of disease include youth and

pregnant women getting vaccine to prevent diseases, being mindful of personal hygiene

we must clean our environment daily. Third is self treatment or self medication. To

simplify things this is by doing everything in natural or organic way. Fourth is providing

care to dependents, in short hospitality. It is to take care of people especially those who

can’t take care of themselves like elderly, pregnant women, sick, and young children. Fifth

is seeking medical assistance. It is to ask advice from professionals, doing a regular check

up. It is better to ask for professional treatment. Lastly is the rehabilitation. It is to do

extracurricular activities, not only for ourselves but it is also helping people especially

those with disabilities. It is to restore their physical ability.

D. Mortification in Relation to Health and Wellness

Mortification is surrendering one’s gratification, to benefit to other significant

purpose, with respect to St. Vincent de Paul’s meaning, De guzman (2014) stated that the
“passions of the souls” should be denied and to let reason govern one’s life. By “passions

of the soul”, he was referring to self interests and ambitions that can bring pride and

arrogance.

Furthermore, it tells us that it is natural having the basic needs and does not denote

that the rights of an individual cannot be removed. It points out that we are self-control

who are able to see or hear the Gospel teaching. Not every suffering must be done it must

agree with Health and Wellness. Our body is the container it represents our sinful acts or

nature. Sinful nature leads us to unrighteousness. Our body is full of lies and lust. In

metaphor mortification means “put to death”. We as a Christians are told to offer our life

to Christ. Spiritual life relies on the mortification on what we do with our body.
