In this episode, we dive into the 8 Dimensions of Wellness framework, exploring how each dimension contributes to our overall well-being. I’ll introduce you to the eight dimensions emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual—and walk you through practical examples of how you can nurture each one.

You’ll learn how to integrate these dimensions into your daily life, empowering you to create a holistic approach to wellness. For instance, you can enhance your emotional wellness by practicing gratitude through journaling, and you can support your social wellness by reaching out to friends and family regularly. By the end of this episode, you'll have three practical strategies to start using the 8 Dimensions of Wellness framework today, helping you build a more balanced and fulfilling life.

To assist you on this journey, I invite you to check out the Wellness Starts with You wellness journal, designed around the 8 Dimensions of Wellness framework. You can find it here. Additionally, the Feelings Wheel is a great tool for better understanding and expressing your emotions, while the 8 Dimensions of Wellness Assessment can help you evaluate your current wellness levels in each area.
