Answer to Question 1

Antonovsky considers stressors to be omnipresent. Thus, his model suggests that adaptation to our stress-filled environments involves finding inputs from resources that enable us to resist entropy or make order out of chaos (i.e., negative entropy resources). Such resources can be classified as our personal reserves (e.g., our sense of optimism), our social environment (e.g., our social relationships), and our physical environment (e.g., our physical resources like money and possessions). He called these inputs generalized resistance resources (GRRs), which serve to reduce the pressure on us to move toward the negative end of the pole, the entropic direction, when encountering stressors.

Answer to Question 2

Wellness encompasses a global approach to health that not only includes stress management and emotional self-regulation, but also focuses on healthy living, including exercise and proper nutrition as well as activities that promote personal growth. These may include promoting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. When working together as a harmonic whole, these four elements of wellness are believed to lead to the highest level of life satisfaction.
