    2. Resilience: Demonstrating the ability to bounce back from setbacks and cope effectively with stressors.
    3. Healthy Relationships: Maintaining positive connections with others, experiencing trust, and enjoying supportive interactions.
    4. Productivity and Focus: Being able to concentrate on tasks, set and achieve goals, and maintain a sense of purpose.
