False attributions lead to failure to cope appropriately. Socialization Socialization is an important component of a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle. Isolation and a lack of interpersonal skills increase the stress of everyday situations and contribute to negative self-esteem. These skills will be helpful in the workplace, the home, and other potentially stressful arenas. Healthy social involvement also provides fun and relaxation.
Active socialization increases an individual s satisfaction and enjoyment of life.
Physical activity also provides fun, relaxation and stress reduction. Many forms of physical activity also provide personal growth opportunities as well as a mechanism for meeting others with similar interests. Regular physical activity provides opportunities to enhance socialization. Maintaining Motivation Personal motivation and direction are enhanced when coping skills are high, stress is manageable, and goals are reasonable and desirable. Re-evaluating, restating, and refining personal goals are important steps to maintaining personal motivation.
