Wellbeing is a multidimensional concept encompassing various aspects of human life that contribute to an individual’s overall sense of fulfillment, happiness, and health. Though definitions vary slightly across disciplines, wellbeing is generally understood as a positive state that results from a complex interaction between mental, physical, emotional, and social factors.

The pursuit of happiness is the fundamental goal of every human being. Researchers of the phenomenon of happiness operationalise this concept using the term wellbeing. Subjective wellbeing is studied as a synonymous for mental health (Diener, Lukas, Oishi, 2002) and reveals the protective role it has against stressors and the ability to prevent depression.

Promotion of wellbeing and health is optimal somatic, physiological, mental, emotional, social and spiritual functioning. Hence, to increase the level of satisfaction with life, we have to increase the level of optimism. Training of optimism through everyday actions that promotes optimism is a way of controlling wellbeing. So, the answer to the question posed in the previous stage is yes — you can control your wellbeing.
