Well-Being
Seven Core Values • Quality of Life • Correcting Time • Emotional-Spiritual Health • Social Sustainability

Definition:
Well-being is the holistic state of physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual health in which individuals feel safe, balanced, fulfilled, connected, and able to grow.
In the teachings of the Correcting Time, Daniel Raphael, and Machiventa Melchizedek, well-being is understood as a core measure of social sustainability and a primary outcome of living in alignment with the Seven Core Values.
