Four Dimensions of Health
Physical Health
Maintaining a healthy body through regular exercise, proper nutrition, sleeping well and avoiding harmful habits. Also, maintaining a consistent well-rounded exercise program is crucial to physical wellness. Emotional Health
Being in touch with your emotional presence and being aware and comfortable with your own thoughts and feelings. Emotional wellness relies on being able to express one’s thoughts and sensations and to be able to absorb those of others. Environmental Health
Surrounding yourself with a healthy work and living environment free of hazards and focused on conservation of all natural resources and the role we play in bettering the environment. Environmental wellness is about respecting nature and your surroundings and in gaining personal fulfillment from our surroundings. Social Health
Social wellness is about relating, interacting and communicating well with others. Social wellness is also about being comfortable in your own skin to be able to contribute and engage in a healthy living environment. Including people in all aspects of our lives is tantamount to social wellness. |
