Wellness Wheel

Wellness is about making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. This means having an overall balance in our lives – beyond diet and exercise habits. There are 7 different areas of wellness. In order to cope with stress and to live a healthy life, it is important to find balance in these areas as much as possible.

Environmental

Living in and supporting a clean and safe environment (e.g. spending time in nature, keeping your space organize).

Occupational

Satisfaction with career or academic work, feeling safe and secure in the job or school environment (e.g. studying).

Intellectual

Stimulated with activities, growing knowledge and abilities, and learning new skills (e.g. reading a book, playing a video game).

Emotional

Positive feelings, optimistic view on life, ability to express and process emotions (e.g. journaling, listening to music).

Physical

Physical health and activities (e.g. getting good sleep and exercise).

Spiritual

Connection to one’s meaning and purpose (e.g. yoga, meditation, or religious activities).
