The notion of well-being is actually studied quite a bit in psychology.
It sounds like you are in touch with your well-being. This is a big part of the positive psychology practice.
It's hard for me to handle stress sometimes. I find comfort in eating a lot but I know it's not good for me. Oh, that's too bad. Overeating due to stress is sometimes considered an eating disorder. I think it's a common thing but it doesn't mean it's healthy. I usually eat sweets, sugar seems to be making me feel better. There's a phenomenon called emotional eating, which is overeating so that you can feel better about your situation. Would you say that is what you do? Yes that's exactly what it is. But it only helps for a little while, it never actually solves any problems besides adding stomach ache. Ah, I got it. Individuals have different ways to regulate their emotions, and some are better than others in doing that. Yeah, that's true. I need to improve my approach to my well-being.
Well-being is a much-studied topic in psychology, especially positive psychology.
