The 8 Dimensions of Wellness

Emotional wellness relates to understanding your feelings and coping effectively with stress. It is important to pay attention to self-care, relaxation, stress reduction and the development of inner resources so you can learn and grow from experiences.

Environmental wellness inspires us to live a lifestyle that is conscious of our environment. This area of wellness encourages us to live in harmony with the Earth by taking the initiative to protect it. Environmental well-being promotes interaction with nature and your personal environment. Everyone can have a strong environmental consciousness essentially by raising their awareness.

Financial Wellness involves the process of learning how to successfully oversee and manage financial expenses. Money plays a critical role in our lives and not having enough of it impacts health as well as academic performance. Financial stress is repeatedly found to be a common source of stress, anxiety, and fear for young adults: especially college students.

Occupational wellness is tied in with making the most of your word related tasks and valuing your commitments. This dimension of wellness encourages self-fulfillment and improvement in one's life through pride in work.

Physical wellness relates to maintaining a healthy body and looking for care when required. Physical health is accomplished through exercise, good eating habits, getting enough sleep and noticing the indications of sickness and getting help when required. 

Social wellness encourages you to perform efficiently in social roles and comfortably, and create a support network. This dimension of wellness allows you to not only develop strong bonds with peers, but also intimate relationships with romantic partners.

Spiritual wellness allows you to develop a set of values that help you seek meaning and purpose. Spirituality can be represented from multiple points of view, for instance, through meditation or religion. But being spiritually well means knowing which assets to use to adapt to issues that surface in regular day to day existence.
