All of us want to be healthy, but the term wellness has come to mean different things to different people. It can range from thinking about your body’s physical state and how you can improve it, to taking into account your emotional and spiritual well-being as well as your relationships with family and friends. Even what you eat plays an important role in how well you’re able to maintain wellness throughout life! That’s why it’s important to consider every aspect of wellness when it comes to making decisions that affect your well-being, both now and in the future.

Is your ability to know where you want to go in life. It’s your dreams, hopes, aspirations, core values—it’s who you want to be when you grow up. Yup, a lot of people haven’t done that growing up part yet. And that can be a problem when you consider that there are seven dimensions of wellness – five areas related to our bodies (called body dimensions) and two areas related to our minds (called mind dimensions). If we don’t have a clear picture in our heads about what we want from life – which is essentially what vision is all about – how can we possibly live in ways that make us feel satisfied?

The need to have a focus in life, in terms of why you’re doing what you’re doing. It is derived from Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Achieving your purpose allows you to feel fulfilled. I – Identity: The way you view yourself in terms of your strengths, weaknesses, values, etc.

The amount of energy you have to perform your daily tasks is a good indication of wellness. Even if you are eating well, sleeping well, and exercising regularly, a lack of energy can still be an indication that something isn’t right in your body. A good rule to follow: If you find yourself waking up tired every day despite enough sleep or not having much energy throughout your workday at work despite getting enough sleep and exercise—it may be time to look into what might be causing fatigue. One common cause is hormone imbalance, so consider visiting a doctor to get tested.

Choosing to take responsibility for your health is a profound way to live your life well. You are responsible for taking care of your body, mind, and spirit. Even though we are often faced with challenges that can make us feel defeated, if you take responsibility instead of blame you free yourself from feelings of anger, shame, or helplessness. When you experience these kinds of emotions it can have a negative impact on your physical health. It’s hard to be optimistic when you’re blaming someone else for a problem in your life. Instead try staying positive by taking responsibility over what happens next—it could change everything!

This dimension is all about feeling connected to your body, mind, and spirit. We are a holistic being that requires balance within ourselves. When we feel strong within our spirit, mind, body, and emotions we experience more happiness in life. In order to be fully aware of our body we must practice physical fitness regularly to keep ourselves physically healthy.

The spiritual dimension is about your relationship with yourself, with others, and with God. The essence of spirituality is trust – trust in yourself, in others, and in your connection to a higher power. Every aspect of wellness relates to spirituality because these are all aspects that help you find peace within. If you’re working on losing weight or improving your fitness level but can’t stop thinking about food or exercise, you need to work on your spiritual health so that you can develop greater self-control when it comes to how you care for yourself. Spirituality also involves appreciating both what life has given you as well as everything that is yet to come.

Are you living a healthy lifestyle that is good for your mental and physical health? It is hard to get back on track when your environment doesn’t support you. Take a look at where you live, work, or play. How are these environments healthy or unhealthy? Consider things like: Is there junk food nearby? Are people encouraged to exercise (or do they prefer sedentary activities)? Do people spend more time sitting than getting active? If so, make changes to create an environment that supports your overall wellness goals.
