Embracing the 7 Dimensions of
wellness for an holistic well-being
Hi there i'm Blissfull :) this is my first of hopefully many blogs to come. I thought I'd start by telling you a little bit about myself (If I told you everything I've already been through in life, its quite unbelievable when wrote down and i am only 44 years young). However, I do in some ways need to be thankful as it is why I started this journey. I have had so many jobs since leaving school over the years and I've also studied hard, I started a counseling course after a tragedy in my life, I lost my first born child when I was only 25. In my late 30's after having more beautiful rainbow children I decided to go to university. It took me longer than expected for various reasons but also I discovered I am dyslexic but I finally earned an honors degree in child and family studies. Studying with little ones, juggling family life and everything else was very hard. When I finally completed my degree life just seemed to keep throwing obstacles and some very tough situations and challenges, that no one should have to go through. Although I am overcoming them, which is only through strong resilience and understanding the balance and importance of the seven dimensions of wellness, has each dimension really does have an impact on the other.
I 'd still not found the right job or career that fit with myself and family life. All I did know was I like people and I enjoy helping and supporting others anyway that I can. If my own life experiences can help others find their path to a Blissful life through understanding the 7 dimensions of wellness then why not embrace my negatives and turn it into a positive and hopefully help me to finally succeed and thrive at something I actually enjoy doing. I would love you to join me and embrace this journey towards fulfillment and well-being. Please feel free to join my Facebook page or group where I want to create a community that everyone feels safe, wanted and most of all supported.
Some of you will love the hustle and bustle of life some of you not so much. Unfortunately, at times we can all live a fast-paced life, and the pursuit of overall well-being has become more critical than ever. Wellness is no longer confined to just physical health it also involves other various factors of our lives. Understanding and nurturing these 7 dimensions can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life or as i like to call it a BlissFULL life. In this blog post, the seven dimensions of wellness are explored and a brief explanation of how each dimension contribute to each other, I intend to do separate blogs focusing on each dimension individually. You can Subscribe now to ear more from me.
What are the seven dimensions????
Let's briefly explore the dimensions together.
1. Physical Wellness: Physical wellness involves maintaining a healthy body through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and adequate sleep. Engaging in physical activities not only improves our fitness but also boosts energy levels, enhances mood, and prevents illnesses. This doesn't mean you need to sign up for the gym, walking is good enough and has so many other benefits.
2. Emotional Wellness: Emotional wellness revolves around understanding and managing our emotions effectively. This dimension includes self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the ability to cope with life's challenges. Cultivating healthy relationships and practicing stress management techniques contribute to emotional well-being. Has you may imagine this dimension is something I had no choice but to learn and accept, but I could not have got through life without support.
3. Social Wellness: Social wellness emphasizes the importance of building and maintaining positive relationships with others. It involves effective communication, having a support system, and contributing to the community. Strong social connections have been linked to increased happiness and a sense of belonging. No one should ever feel alone, lean on friends and family, support groups anyone you feel safe to talk to.
4. Intellectual Wellness: Intellectual wellness encourages a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and personal growth. It involves stimulating our minds through activities such as learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Engaging in intellectually stimulating pursuits enhances cognitive abilities and keeps the mind sharp.
5. Occupational Wellness: Occupational wellness is achieved by finding satisfaction and fulfillment in our work or chosen activities. It involves pursuing a career that aligns with our values and interests, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and continually seeking professional development.
6. Environmental Wellness: Environmental wellness focuses on our relationship with the world around us. This includes fostering a connection with nature, promoting sustainability, and creating spaces that support our well-being. A healthy environment contributes to overall physical and mental health.
7. Spiritual Wellness: Spiritual wellness goes beyond religious beliefs and encompasses a sense of purpose, meaning, and connection to something greater than ourselves. It involves exploring personal values, practicing mindfulness, and finding inner peace. Cultivating spiritual wellness provides a foundation for navigating life's challenges with resilience.
