Well-being isn’t only about your physical wellness. It involves a lifestyle that optimizes every aspect. There are vital 8 dimensions you need to embrace to live your best life:
1. Physical
Physical well-being is the dimension of well-being many people think of first. Good physical health lets you enjoy activities. It involves looking after your body, eating nutritious food, getting enough exercise and rest, consulting medical staff when you feel abnormal symptoms.
2. Intellectual/Cognitive
Cognitive health is having an alert mind. You need to stimulate your brain to keep developing. A key approach for cognitive health is lifelong learning, which includes learning spaces where people aged 50+ and youths can both gain new life skills.
3. Mental/Emotional
Emotional well-being is the ability to recognize and manage emotions, including dealing with pressure and stress effectively. It also includes the ability to adapt and cope with change and challenging times. Having good emotional health helps us manage our lives more effectively, helping strengthen and maintain good relationships with friends and family.
4. Social
Social well-being is being satisfied with your social life and having good relationships with family, friends, and those around you. We need to be accepted and supported by our communities. Good social well-being involves feeling part of society. Social well-being supports mental and physical well-being. It makes us happy and able to face challenges effectively. Activities with other generations, creative conflict management, and family time all enhance social well-being.
5. Spiritual
Spiritual well-being is about meaning and purpose in life. We don’t need religious belief to feel connected to something bigger and have inner peace. Good spiritual well-being boosts mentally stability with the ability to face stress and problems. Activities that promote spiritual well-being include meditation, prayer, yoga, tai chi, time in nature, bird watching.
6. Environmental
Environmental health is about respecting the world and what’s around us, seeing value in it, creating less waste and pollution. Sorting trash and caring about the impact of our actions on the world boost well-being. Good environmental well-being also includes access to clean water, healthy food, walkable environments, green transport, and space like gardens or parks.
7. Occupational/Professional/Vocational
Occupational health isn’t just about having a job or career. It includes seeing value in your work, having a goal, making your loved ones proud, fulfilling own and your family's needs, and helping society. Professional well-being involves balancing success and stress. Retirement can affect self-worth. Volunteering can boost well-being and enable older adults to use their experience and expertise, maintaining brain health and function too.
8. Financial
Financial well-being is a state in which we have financial stability and can manage our money effectively A spending plan should prioritize essentials such as healthcare and a pleasant home. Good financial well-being reduces stress and anxiety and lets us live comfortably and happily.
Summary
Having good well-being across all 8 dimensions – physical, cognitive, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational, and financial – gives us good quality of life. Developing ourselves in each dimension in a balanced way will help build a happy, healthy life with good life quality. Well-being in all dimensions will allow us to face challenges effectively, living a full life with lasting happiness.
