I began my work within each dimension hoping to feel better and more balanced, though I sometimes found myself overwhelmed by the information. I continued reading and researching so I could better understand each dimension. In this blog post you\u2019ll find a short summary of the 8 Dimensions of Wellness. As you read, reflect on which dimensions feel like strengths and which areas could be improved. To help you with this, I have provided a link to an 8 Dimensions of Wellness assessment in the references below.<\/p>\n<p><span>People often think about wellness in terms of physical health, nutrition, exercise, and weight management, but it\u2019s so much more than that. Wellness is an integration of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being that fuels the body, engages the mind, and nurtures the spirit. Wellness is about maintaining mental and physical fitness and having enough energy to meet your occupational and personal commitments. The Global Wellness Institute (n.d.) describes it as \u201cthe active pursuit of activities, choices, and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health.\u201d By increasing your understanding of, reflecting on, and nurturing each of these dimensions, you can achieve growth and a higher quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-tablestyle=\"MsoTableGrid\" data-tablelook=\"1696\" aria-rowcount=\"8\">\n<tbody>\n<tr aria-rowindex=\"1\">\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Physical Wellness<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Involves taking care of our bodies through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and sufficient sleep.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr aria-rowindex=\"2\">\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Intellectual Wellness<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Involves the recognition of your creative talent and seeking out ways to gain and use personal knowledge and skills.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr aria-rowindex=\"3\">\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Social Wellness\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Involves building and fostering meaningful relationships and nurturing the sense of Belonging.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr aria-rowindex=\"4\">\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Environmental Wellness<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Is related to the health of the social and natural spaces that surround the world we occupy<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr aria-rowindex=\"5\">\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Occupational Wellness\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Involves satisfaction in choice of work, balancing work and leisure time, building relationships with coworkers, and managing workplace stress.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr aria-rowindex=\"6\">\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Financial Wellness<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Involves managing finances in a way that reduces stress and promotes security.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr aria-rowindex=\"7\">\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Emotional Wellness<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td data-celllook=\"0\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Focuses on understanding and managing emotions.

We have all experienced a financial setback causing emotional stress or forcing a change to our environment, or we have experienced a loss of a loved one or a job impacting our emotional, financial, intellectual and\/or social wellness. So many events, outside of our control, can take life out of balance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wellness involves a sense of empowerment. Every day represents a new set of choices. Remember, achieving Wellness is an ongoing journey rather than a destination. By making small intentional choices in each dimension, we can strive for a harmonious life that promotes physical vitality, emotional resilience, intellectual growth, and a deep sense of fulfillment. In which dimensions did you find strengths? Which dimensions seem \u201cokay?\u201d And which dimensions can use some focus?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>References:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/ck\/a?!&amp;&amp;p=10b2fc31027c0c5cJmltdHM9MTY4OTcyNDgwMCZpZ3VpZD0xYTU1Y2YxMi1lY2NlLTY1N2YtMDQzOC1kYzI3ZWQyODY0ZDYmaW5zaWQ9NTE5Ng&amp;ptn=3&amp;hsh=3&amp;fclid=1a55cf12-ecce-657f-0438-dc27ed2864d6&amp;psq=8+dimensions+of+wellness+assessment+CU&amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY29sb3JhZG8uZWR1L2hlYWx0aC9zaXRlcy9kZWZhdWx0L2ZpbGVzL2F0dGFjaGVkLWZpbGVzL3BlcnNvbmFsX2Fzc2Vzc21lbnRfLV84X2RpbWVuc2lvbnNfb2Zfd2VsbG5lc3MucGRm&amp;ntb=1\"><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Personal Assessment: 8 Dimensions of Wellness<\/span><\/i><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:567,&quot;335559740&quot;:276,&quot;335559991&quot;:567}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:567,&quot;335559740&quot;:276,&quot;335559991&quot;:567}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What is Wellness?<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Global Wellness Institute.
