Wellness with White

  Social -      Social Wellness involves having positive connections with others including friends, family, coworkers, professors, coaches, supervisors and any other person you encounter. Relationships we create with others greatly impacts our quality of life. To improve social wellness, get to know yourself first and indulge in you time! Build a supportive network and let go of toxic relationships! This is so important as it affects your physical and mental health too. I challenge you to think of ways in which you can improve your social wellness starting today.

  Emotional-  Emotional Wellness is the thoughts you have and your ability to deal with the challenges that life brings. It has an effect on all of the other dimensions. Simply put, it is the way in which we manage feelings through awareness and acceptance of emotions. Being able to manage and express these feelings impacts our overall health. To increase emotional wellness I suggest accept and forgive yourself, strive for a balanced life, express yourself in a healthy way and find purpose and meaning. I challenge you to think about your thoughts and feelings and analyze them to understand how those affect your mindset and everyday life. 

Everyone should be aware of the seven dimensions of wellness and keep them in mind when thinking about living a healthy lifestyle and for their own well-being. These include- physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental, and occupational. All of these components together provide for a well-balanced life. It is mentioned that neglect of any one of these dimensions for any length of time has negative effects on overall health of an individual. I challenge you to look deeper at yourself and focus on your mind and body and connect to each of these dimensions and see how they play a part in your life currently.
