- The Seven Dimension of Wellness:
- Emotional — the ability to understand and deal with your feelings
- Environmental — the livability of your surroundings
- Intellectual — constantly challenging your mind
- Occupational — personal fulfillment from chosen career and maintaining a positive work-life balance
- Physical — maintaining a healthy quality of life and your ability to take care of yourself
- Social — the ability to develop and maintain satisfying and supportive relationships
- Spiritual — the use of a guiding beliefs, principles, or values that give meaning and purpose to your life
