What Is Well-Being?

Experts define well-being differently. But most agree that well-being refers to being physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy. It's okay to be healthier in some wellness areas than others. They interact with each other. If you're struggling in one area, the others can support your overall well-being. These dimensions, or pillars, of well-being include:

• Emotional wellness: This is about being aware of and okay with your feelings. How you handle stress and how well you bounce back from hard times are also parts of emotional wellness.

• Spiritual well-being: Having meaningful connections to yourself, others, and to what you experience as greater. You feel empowered, hopeful, valued, and have a sense of self-worth. You are able to feel gratitude, to trust, and to give and receive love. You can feel wonder and engage in restorative spiritual practices.

• Physical wellness: As you might expect, this refers to things like physical activity, healthy eating, and sleep.

• Connection: Having healthy connections means maintaining positive, healthy relationships with friends and family or others. Considering new ideas is also part of this pillar.

• Environmental wellness: This is having your basic needs met—clean air, healthy food, and water. Personal safety and security are also key.
• Intellectual wellness: This includes engaging your mind by learning something new, like a language or a skill. Or it could mean teaching something you know well. Discussing and debating differing views are also parts of this area.

• Occupational wellness: This means being fulfilled by your daily work. Having a healthy work/life balance is also important.

The flu vaccine is your best defense against the flu. The flu vaccine is recommended every year in the fall or winter, ideally before the flu season starts.

The flu vaccine protects you by:
• helping prevent serious flu-related complications
• reducing your chances of getting the flu at the same time as other respiratory illnesses, which could make you very sick
• protecting the health care system from becoming overwhelmed during respiratory illness season

Everyone is at risk of influenza. You should get the influenza vaccine if you are 6 months or older.

Influenza can make you very sick and lead to other health problems, especially if:
• You have heart or lung conditions, diabetes, a weak immune system, a lot of extra weight, or other health problems.
• You live in a care facility, like a continuing care home.
• You are under age 5 years.
• You are age 65 years or older.
• You are pregnant.
• You are an Indigenous person.

It is important to get the influenza vaccine each year, especially if:
• You have a high risk of getting very sick from influenza.
• You have close contact with someone who is at high risk of getting very sick from influenza, such as family members and caregivers.
• You provide an essential community service, such as you work in healthcare, education, or public safety.

Where to get the flu vaccine:

Pharmacists can give the influenza vaccine to anyone age 5 years and older.

Public health clinics
The influenza vaccine is available at public health clinics for:
• children younger than age 5 years and their families
• people who have had CAR T-cell therapy
• people who have had a stem cell transplant
• people who have had or will have an organ transplant
Public health clinics are open from mid to late October to the end of March.

Daylight Saving Time ends on November 2, 2025, at 2:00 a.m. local time. That's when clocks “fall back” by one hour, officially marking the transition back to Standard Time.

Tips for Daylight Saving Time
Gradually Adjust Your Schedule - The timing of other daily activities, such as meals and exercise, can also be gradually adjusted.

Sleep Well Beforehand - An important step in preparing for daylight saving time is getting quality sleep beforehand.

Consider Relaxation Techniques - At any time of year, relaxation methods, ranging from basic deep breathing to mindfulness meditation, can bring calm to your mind and body and make it easier to smoothly transition into sleep.

Set Your Clocks Before Bed - This helps you hit the ground running and avoid any timing mishaps on Sunday.

Prioritize Daylight Exposure - Natural light - even on a cloudy day, natural light has a dramatically larger effect on circadian rhythm than artificial indoor lighting.

Take Precautions in Case of Sleep Disruption - Try not to overload your schedule on the Sunday or Monday after the time shift in case you’re suffering from daytime sleepiness.

Upgrade Your Sleep Hygiene - It’s much easier to get consistent sleep if you have healthy habits and a bedroom environment that is conducive to sleep
Eat a Healthy Diet - Eating well is vital for overall health, and proper nutrition is tied to sleep as well.

Strategic Napping - Keeping a nap under 20 minutes can boost your alertness without causing grogginess after you wake up.
Many people feel refreshed and more alert thanks to this extra hour of sleep.

However, those who are chronically sleep-deprived cannot erase their total sleep debt after one night.

Instead, the end of DST can be an opportunity to improve your sleep habits and get an adequate amount of rest each night.

Evaluating Online Health Information

Online health information can have many positive impacts on us, unfortunately, the quality and accuracy of online health information is not consistent, including social media where information quality can be very low.
Use the steps below to evaluate the health information you find online.

Check the date
Look to see when the website was created or last updated. Health information should be up to date to make sure it is relevant and accurate. Even if the information has not changed, it should be regularly reviewed.

Check the Author
Identify the author to determine if they have the necessary background, experience, or training to accurately discuss the topic.

Look for the Evidence: Is it True?
Health information should be based on facts rather than opinion, rumors, or personal stories. Authors and websites should clearly list their sources, so that you can check the information for yourself.

Understand the Purpose
Read a website’s “About Us” page to understand the website’s purpose and who runs it. Are they credible and unbiased? Be cautious of websites selling a product. Their information may already be biased as the goal is to make a profit rather than present clear facts. Often product claims are too good to be true.

Be Critical of the Details
Be skeptical of websites that look outdated, contain broken links or have spelling and grammar errors. Patient information should be written in plain language, making it easy to follow.

Protect your Privacy
Be careful when sharing your personal information. Look for a privacy policy to find out how and why your information is being used, stored, or shared.
You should carefully consider the source of the information you find on the internet and discuss that health information with your healthcare provider.

As you look online for health information, watch for both misinformation - inaccurate information and disinformation - false information that is deliberately meant to mislead.
