Components of Wellness

Physical: Taking care of yourself through the practice of good health habits. This includes nutrition, exercise, sleep, and illness prevention and management.

Social: Connecting with others and sustaining relationships with your family and friends.

Emotional: Feeling good about yourself and feeling positive about life.

Spiritual: Finding meaning and purpose in your life.

Environmental: Making sure the spaces you spend time in are sufficient for your comfort and productivity.

Vocational: Feeling fulfilled in your work and community.

Intellectual: Being involved in activities that you find mentally challenging and rewarding.

Although there is no “one size fits all” prescription for wellness, keep in mind that overall wellness requires maintaining a balance of different components: physical, social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, vocational, and intellectual factors. Ways of finding your own balance can shift over time. Be flexible, but be honest with yourself about what wellness entails for you.
