Wellbeing

Our well being is just like four walls in our house, Why you may think? it is because if one of our house walls falls down the whole house falls down. That is just like our well being if one of our dimensions fail to function then our body starts to fail and stop functioning. So that is why our 4 dimensions are important and why we have too look after it.
