The Seven Facets of Wellness

1. Physical - the first dimension we think of when referring to wellness, this aspect covers bodily health through exercise, nutrition, and abstaining from harmful activities, such as smoking.

2. Emotional - this dimension covers emotional health through learning to recognize, express, and control feelings and moods – Self esteem.

3. Intellectual - this aspect covers mental health through developing creativity, learning ability, and problem-solving skills.

4. Occupational - this dimension covers job satisfaction through learning individual aptitudes and skills, and finding meaning in work.

5. Social - this aspect covers community connections through learning the part we play in our interconnected world.

6. Spiritual - this dimension covers larger life questions through learning to choose and live by a set of values that give meaning to our lives.

7. Financial - the importance of this dimension of wellness is clearly illustrated by the fact that the lack of money or mismanagement of money is a major cause, if not the largest cause of depression, anxiety, and divorce.
