The 8 dimensions of wellness are a holistic approach to overall well-being that takes into account all aspects of ones life, not just physical health. These dimensions are interconnected, and neglecting any one of them over time can adversely affect the others, ultimately impacting ones health, well-being, and quality of life. The 8 dimensions of wellness are:
- Emotional well-being
- Physical well-being
- Occupational well-being
- Social well-being
- Spiritual well-being
- Intellectual well-being
- Environmental well-being
- Financial well-being
Each dimension of wellness helps create an environment that nurtures and builds a healthy lifestyle. A well-rounded balance of these wellness dimensions provides holistic harmony to ones personal well-being. While there doesnt have to be a balance among all dimensions, the goal is to find a personal harmony with the dimensions that is most authentic for each individual.
