The Dimensions of Wellness

The human experience is incredibly complex. It can be useful to organize components of this experience into categories to create a framework that considers our wellness holistically.

An Interrelated System

Although we can consider each dimension of wellness in isolation, it is important to recognize that the dimensions are interrelated. Steps that we take to improve one aspect of wellness often leads to improvements in other dimensions simultaneously. For example, let’s consider the impact of increasing your commitment to a regular exercise routine. Of course, your physical state is likely to improve, but you are also likely to experience benefits to your psychological and emotional well-being, given the robust benefits of exercise.
