Applying Holistic Health Concepts-Alter Ego

Applying Holistic Health Concepts-Alter Ego

Individuals learn so many aspects of life when growing up. They develop the nature of judging and treating people around them. They also judge themselves, creating a self-ego. Apart from the primary ego, individuals also have a secondary ego, which they create by themselves. This is another identity or another name for people who are out there (Collver & Weitkamp, 2018). This is known as an alter ego, and it can either be a positive or negative attitude. In other words, an alter ego is an alternative self that is different from an individual’s original personality.

Holistic health has six dimensions: physical, social, occupational, emotional, spiritual, and social (Eliopoulos, 2017). In an ideal alter ego, the secondary ego that will be demonstrated is perfect in all aspects of holistic health. In this assignment, the person being created is a man named Jacobs with a holistic alter ego. Jacobs is a smart man. He is a university professor at the age of twenty with two PhDs in Pharmacy and the Secretary-General of the World Health Organization. He has published many papers that are glorified worldwide. He is in a loving, healthy relationship with his wife, Riki, and their son, Havila. He has effective stress-coping skills, and he shares issues with his wife. To add to this, he is careful about his skin and always applies SPF 50 sunscreen to protect himself from sun radiation.

He is a physical specimen who fits and goes to the gym for at least two hours a day. He jogs every evening with his wife. He eats healthy meals with no fats and minimum carbohydrates in his diet. He sleeps for at least eight hours. He has strong interpersonal skills and participates actively in the community. He is a compassionate man who loves freely and readily forgives others for their mistakes. He seeks fulfillment in the most mundane things of life.
