A. Describe each of the eight dimensions of wellness.


From information gathered from Western Governors University (n.d.-a), the eight

dimensions of wellness are listed and described below:


 Emotional- Being able to appreciate others and their feelings and to

express yourself.

 Physical- Anything you do and do not do to maintain your physical

health, like eating healthy and not abusing substances.

 Occupational- Finding a job that uses your talents and skills excellently.

 Intellectual- Anything you do to feed your knowledge and foster your

curiosity.

 Financial- Being able to live within your means.

 Social- Healthy relationships with the people around you, like your

friends and family.

 Environmental- Being able to be and feel safe with and in your

surroundings.

 Spiritual- Anything that concerns your personal beliefs and religion.


As a result, these eight dimensions of wellness are taken from other

interconnected dimensions of wellness (Western Governors University, n.d.-

a).
