Abstract

The article answers the research question „What kind of multi-component content emerges when the person is creating a constructive relationship with the self and others when s/he chooses a healthy lifestyle?“ through qualitative empirical study. Findings led to the conclusion that results of the creation of a personal relationship by choosing a healthy lifestyle are the transformations of the personality and quality of life, which are conditioned by personal change in the person’s becoming and the promotion of inner motivation.
