Guess what?

You just found it.

Wellness is the solution.

The 8 Dimensions of Wellness all work together cohesively to create a sense of satisfaction and happiness. These dimensions can be exactly what you need to transform your life.

We, humans, tend to think that no one else is like us. As though no one else thinks the way that we do or feels what we feel, not in exactly the way we feel anyway. 

With all the diversity in the world, humans at their core desire the same things.

Those things that all humans desire are:

• Love
• Acceptance
• Happiness
• Belonging
• Success

Humans, want to be like everyone else. No one wants to be labeled a freak or a weirdo or be stuck on the outside looking in.  It’s in our nature to belong to something and to be accepted by others.

We all desire to be loved and to give love in return.

In our nature to want to be good at what we do. We want to be successful in our endeavors. we want people to recognize our success as well.

And lastly, we just want to be happy. I mean is that too much to ask? 

I think nowadays everyone understands at least a little bit and on some level something about wellness and what that means. But my question today is this, when we hear about wellness do we really fully understand how important it is for our health? 

Before today, had you heard of the eight dimensions of wellness? And if you had, did you fully understand what they really meant?

None of which are more important than another. All working together so you can be the best version of yourself, the person that you always were meant to be.

Let’s get to it.

EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

What does emotional wellness mean?  

Emotional Wellness refers to the way you handle your feelings, process your thoughts, and of course, your mental health.

It can refer to how you cope with things, stress levels in your life, anxiety, depression, it can refer to the way you treat others, and your daily ups and your downs.

Why is emotional wellness important?

Everyone faces challenges and hardships.

How we respond to these difficulties is what determines our state of emotional health. Having the appropriate response to stress spell situations indicates a healthy emotional well-being.

On the other hand, freaking out, crying, yelling, or shutting down are all indicators of emotional stress.

Here are some ways to improve emotional wellness

• Practicing mindfulness
• Connecting with others
• Journaling
• Being self-aware
• Reducing Stress

Remember, Emotional Wellness is just the first of 8 Dimensions of Wellness that we will be examining in this guide. By the end, you will have a better understanding of how the 8 dimensions of wellness will improve your life and hopefully, you will be ready to take the next step in your wellness journey.
