Emotional Wellness
Emotional Wellness, the recognition, awareness, and acceptance of one’s own feelings. The emotional dimension focuses on striving for positivity and happiness through an optimistic approach to life. Emotional wellness inspires self-care, relaxation, stress reduction and the development of inner strength. It is important to be attentive to both positive and negative feelings and be able to understand how to handle these emotions. Emotional wellness also includes the ability to learn and grow from experiences and encourages autonomy and proper decision-making skills.
Physical Wellness
Physical wellness is the ability to maintain a healthy quality of life that allows us to get through our daily activities without undue fatigue or physical stress. The ability to recognize that our behaviors have a significant impact on our wellness and adopting healthful habits (routine check-ups, a balanced diet, exercise, etc.) while avoiding destructive habits (tobacco, drugs, alcohol, etc.) will lead to optimal physical wellness.
Occupational Wellness
Occupational wellness is the ability to receive personal fulfillment, purpose and satisfaction from our jobs or our chosen career fields while still maintaining a sense of balance in our lives. Our desire to contribute in our careers and to make a positive impact on the organizations and communities we work in lends itself to occupational wellness.
Intellectual Wellness
Intellectual Wellness focuses on engaging oneself in activities, classes or experiences that challenge our thinking and knowledge about the world and our surroundings. Engaging with others from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, in addition to using individual personal creativity to explore and innovate, can contribute to the intellectual wellness dimension.
Social Wellness
Social wellness is the ability to relate to and connect with other people in our world. Our ability to establish and maintain positive relationships with family, friends, co-workers and surrounding community through a variety of modalities such as programs, events, workshops, and outings contributes to our Social Wellness.
Spiritual Wellness
Spiritual wellness – refers to our ability to develop congruency between our own values and actions. Moreover, spiritual wellness allows individuals to define purpose in their lives and make meaning of certain life events. This dimension is about establishing our own personal morals, ethics and what we stand for as individuals in the world.
Environmental Wellness
Environmental Wellness is the ability to recognize our own responsibility for the quality of the air, the water, the land that surrounds us, and the people that surround us. The ability to make a positive impact on the quality of our environment, be it our homes, our communities or our planet contributes to our Environmental Wellness. Environmental wellness is about occupying pleasant, stimulating environments that support well-being. Focusing on environmental wellness means that you become aware of the relationships with your habits, actions and interactions and how those can affect and impact the environment you live in.
Financial Wellness
Financial Wellness is the ability to feel satisfaction about your financial situation and to manage what we currently have in a responsible manner. Finances are a common stressor for people, so being able to minimize worry about this aspect of your life can enhance your overall wellness. It’s important to continually plan out your finances both in the short and long-term.
