What does 'Being Healthy' mean to you

[Gullick]

I was in my health and social class in school, starting our new project on promoting health. To introduce this project, we had to do a short quiz on what health meant to us and most of these things I would never have thought about as 'being healthy'.

So, the point of this thread, heres the quiz and see what you think, you have to pick the six setances that you believe are most important for a person to be 'healthy', then put those six in order, the most important first.

1)Enjoying being with family and friends.
2) Living to a ripe old age.
3) Feeling happy most of the time.
4) Being able to run when i need to (e.g. for a bus) without getting out of breath.
5) Having a job.
6) Taking part in lots of jobs.
7) Being able to get down to making descisions.
8) Hardly taking any pills or medicines.
9) Being the ideal weight for my height.
10) Feeling at peace with myself.
11) Never smoking. *edit* or any drugs *edit*
12) Having clean skin, bright eyes and clear skin.
13) Never suffering from anything more serious than a cold, flu or stomach bug.
14) Not getting things confused or out of proportion - assesing situations realistically.
15) Being able to adapt easily to changes in my life such as moving jobs.
16) Feeling glad to be alive.
17) Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol or none at all.
18) Enjoying my work without much stress or strain.
19) Having all the part of my body in good working order.
20) Getting on well with other people most of the time.
21) Eating the 'right' foods.
22) Enjoying some form of relaxation/recreation.
23) Hardly ever going to see a doctor.

You know, I have a rather bleak outlook on life, but I still manage to get up everyday, go for a run, work out, eat healthy foods, (vegetarian, actually) and avoid drug-use. Mental health be damned!
