Abstract
Pressure about body perception impacts well-being, and adopting holistic wellness promotes lasting health. The purpose of this study was to explore how body perceptions relate to holistic wellness by modeling a holistic wellness mirror based on the human triad of the body, mind, and spirit. The survey research method and convenient sampling were used, yielding 317 respondents from college classes and social media platforms. The survey was a combination of body perception scales and questions about holistic wellness: healthy eating, happiness, and religiosity. Analysis of variance results indicate that body appreciation and neutrality are significantly higher for individuals with higher healthy eating, happiness, and religiosity than those with low. Through structural equation modeling, body functionality emerges as a key perception attribute that contributes to holistic wellness. This study recommends that, since body perceptions are linked to holistic wellness, they should be nurtured together.
