The 8 wellness dimensions

I have to be honest with you: the concept of wellness can be a little bit confusing. 

While most of the time wellness is associated with a healthy lifestyle, eating whole foods, and exercising… It’s way more than just that. 

Wellness is a set of practices that allow us to live a life where we are not just surviving but actually thriving. This means switching from autopilot to the intentional creator of your reality. 

One of the most exciting things about this concept is that are eight components to it:

• Physical dimension
• Emotional dimension
• Intellectual dimension
• Social dimension 
• Spiritual dimension
• Environmental dimension
• Occupational dimension
• Financial dimension

When working together, all those aspects become a powerhouse! Transforming you into the badass you were born to be as you create a life you absolutely love. 

All the wellness ideas I’m about to present to you cover all of those areas, so you don’t need to worry!

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to jump into those simple and fun wellness ideas right now!
