Emotional well-being refers to how you relate to your own thoughts, reactions, and feelings. It involves becoming mindful of the entire range of emotions you may experience and learning to cope with those experiences that occur in your life. Being emotionally “well” means that you are able to express yourself in a healthy and appropriate manner.
Engagement (social) well-being encompasses advocacy and service to others which allows us to surround ourselves with a positive support network.
Financial well-being involves learning budget management in order to maintain a sustainable lifestyle while also learning to plan for the future through savings and investments.
Intellectual well-being refers to remaining curious about the world around us. It not only includes identifying areas of improvement, but also learning and applying new skills and knowledge that grows an employee’s ability to assess situations and make healthy and safe decisions. Being open minded and willing to hear others’ perspectives is an important step toward intellectual wellness.
Occupational well-being allows us to engage in aspects of our work to develop satisfaction such as learning transferable skills, participate in professional development opportunities, and embrace a work/life balance.
Physical well-being is living a balanced life through healthy nutrition, regular movement, and a consistent sleep schedule.
Spiritual well-being reflects finding connection and meaning in our daily lives. It may refer to a specific religious practice, but for workplace purposes, it includes finding time for self-reflection and meditation. It often includes learning acceptance and recognizing how we attach meaning to events that occur in our lives.
Sustainable well-being is an understanding of how the environment is linked to the ability to protect and promote personal and community wellness. The health of the air we breathe, water we drink, and food we eat, directly affects our ability to maintain physical health.
The same chemicals that harm the environment are also important to avoid in cleaning products, food, and cosmetics. Additionally, the preservation of natural areas for recreation and leisure is important for intellectual as well as physical health.
