Abstract
Intrinsic elements include self-esteem, self-efficacy, motivation, identity, interpersonal development, perfectionism, lifestyle choices, mind traps, fixed attitude, time management, and resilience all have a direct impact on students' mental, emotional, and physical health. Balancing academic duties with social activities, job, and personal life can be difficult, but students who have strong resilience and adaptive coping skills may do better in higher education. Literature reveals that intrinsically driven students perform better, have lower levels of anxiety, and are capable and interested in learning. Recognizing and addressing these inherent variables can assist colleges in providing supportive settings for students' overall well-being.
