Blogtober Day 20: Think About It Thursday

Blogtober Day 19: Wellness Wednesday
During the month of October, we are focusing on two deminsions of wellness each wednesday. Last week, we focused on the physical and social deminsions. This week will be occupational and spiritual.
Occupational: personal satisfaction in your job/career.
Spiritual: the search for purpose and meaning in life, knowing which resources to use to cope with everyday life, values, and beliefs
For me occupationally I think having work life balance helps me to be a better employee and more satisfied with my job. I think prayer, self reflection, and spending time in nature really help my spiritual wellness.
What about you, what are some things that have, do, or will help you achieve occupational and spiritual wellness?
Be Peaceful,

Blogtober Day 12: Wellness Wednesday
During the month of October, we are focusing on two deminsions of wellness each wednesday. Last week, we focused on the intellectual and emotional demensions, and this week’s two will be the physical and social.
Physical: all areas of the physical body. Nutrition, exercise, and disease prevention.
Social: social connections, relationships, and personal expression.
I can think of so many to obtain both of these deminsions of wellness. However, I have one that I really enjoy doing, and I think it covers both deminsions, walking with friends or family.
What do you do to help keep you physically and/or socially well? Do you have any tips or tricks for others? Please share in the comments.

What does Wellness mean to you?
Per Oxford Languages, Wellness is the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.
Per Wikipedia, Wellness is a state beyond absence of illness but rather aims to optimize well-being (quality of life).
The original six dimensions of wellness included intellectual, emotional, physical, social, occupational, and spiritual wellness. Later environmental and financial wellness were added to make eight dimensions of wellness.
Each week we will dive a little deeper into 2 dimensions and discuss ways to achieve or maintain wellness in that dimension.
Week 1:
Intellectual: Brain health, learning, creativity, memory, knowledge, skills.
Emotional: Coping, identifying personal feelings and handling them. Controlling feelings and behaviors, overcoming obstacles. National Institutes of Health describe emotional wellness as “the ability to successfully handle life’s stresses and adapt to change and difficult times” (NIH, 2018)
So, what are somethings we can do to achieve or maintain our intellectual and emotional wellness? Share in the comments.
I love to learn and read often which I think can be helpful to both dimensions.
Be Peaceful,
~Nettie
