The 6 Facets of Wellness

Acknowledging that you are going through a stressful time allows you to freely seek emotional wellness. Reducing your stress along with self-care is important to achieve satisfactory emotional wellness.

2. Environmental Wellness

Respecting yourself, others, and the environment is important to fully be able to experience environmental wellness.

3. Intellectual Wellness

Becoming active in your community will help open up your mind to new ideas. You increase your brain’s potential when you introduce yourself to new ideas and concepts.

4. Occupational Wellness

Being satisfied with your career is very important in order to achieve occupational wellness. Without that fulfillment, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

5. Physical Wellness

Maintaining healthy routines such as getting sufficient sleep, exercise and meals is crucial in order to achieve physical wellness. Neglecting your body’s needs for a healthier lifestyle will lead to a poor health over time.

6. Spiritual Wellness

Having something to believe in enhances spiritual wellness. Seeking for the purpose in your life helps you discover the meaning of life in a positive form and you become curious of others thoughts and wonders instead of completely shutting out everyone completely.
