At the beginning of January, I shared an article with you about taking care of your mental health as a resolution – that it doesn’t always have to be resolutions about improving physical health and wellness. But here is an article from Illinois Extension Educator, Jenna Smith including ALL the dimensions of wellness. Jenna says: It’s the beginning of the new year and so often we set resolutions around physical health, including diet and exercise, but we might be missing out on opportunities to work on other areas of wellness, including the eight dimensions of wellness, which are all interwoven: physical, financial, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational, and intellectual. Disregarding any one of these dimensions over time, can be detrimental to one’s health and wellbeing.
