Wellness is a state of optimal well-being oriented toward maximizing one’s potential. Wellness has six dimensions:
- physical,
- intellectual,
- emotional,
- social,
- spiritual, and
- occupational.
Wellness education is a process that facilitates healthy, sustainable behavior change. It draws on the principles of positive psychology, motivational interviewing and goal-setting. As an individual learns to listen to their inner wisdom and identify their values, that individual can transform goals into action and enhance well-being. That person finds balance.
