Seven Dimensions in Seven Days

In the final week of our wellness project, we go back to our normal lives and see which habits truly work for us! Which habits stuck and which ones were hard to keep up with? Join us for this final update episode!

In a world that values productivity and positivity, we know how easy it is to put up a facade of emotional perfection. But in our last podcast episode, we discuss our emotional journey throughout our entire trip and tips to process our emotions no matter what they are. 

In this episode, we chat about our experience in a high school environment that revolves around grades, GPA, SAT scores, and IQ (are you stressed yet? Yeah, me too). Instead of quantifying our intellect, we talk about a more holistic way of viewing intelligence and ways that you too can educate yourself with reading, street smarts, the news, and more.

In this episode, we debunk the live-to-work mentality present in our world today and find ways to make passions and hobbies into an occupation (like podcasting!). We then rework our perspectives to think of work as a source of happiness and fulfillment instead of a source of simply income. 

Have you ever wanted to try meditating but didn't know where to start? In this episode, we go over the technical definition of spirituality and the practices that we incorporate into our lives to fulfill this dimension. Esme also takes the listener through a 2-minute meditation to experience a taste of mindfulness practice.

In this episode, we dive into our experience in a completely new apartment, town, and community. We then share our new habits of staying environmentally friendly and the ways that we've connected with the beautiful nature around us.

In a world driven by mirrors, diet culture, and comparison, we take a moment to appreciate how incredible your body is -- all on its own. We share our personal experience with issues of body image, exercise, and diet to brainstorm healthy habits that will nourish and say "thank you" to your body.

We are excited to share our experience integrating the 7 Dimensions of Wellness into our lives. By forming habits around the occupational, intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual, physical, and environmental dimensions, we hope to bring happiness into our lives and your lives as well!

In this episode, we talk about the dangers of social media and ways that you too can detox from your phone and live a more mindful, social life. We allude to "10 Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now" by Jaron Lanier to truly uncover the toxic role of social media in our lives.
