The Six Dimensions of Wellness Bill Hettler, MD 1976 DEFINITION OF OCCUPATIONAL WELLNESS The occupationally well individual contributes her/his unique skills/talents to work that is meaningful and rewarding. This person's values are expressed through involvement in paid and non-paid activities that are personally rewarding for the individual and make a contribution to the well-being of the community at large. He or she has satisfactorily integrated his/her commitment to the occupational realm into a total lifestyle that is rewarding. DEFINITION OF SOCIAL WELLNESS A socially well person contributes to one's human and physical environment for the common welfare of one's community. He/she takes an active role in promoting a healthy living environment, encourages effective communication among community members, and seeks to preserve the beauty and balance of nature. A person experiencing social wellness is living in harmony with his/her fellow human beings, seeking positive, interdependent relationships with others, and developing healthy sexual behaviors. A socially well person works for mutual respect and cooperation among the individuals within a community. DEFINITION OF INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS Intellectual wellness is evidenced by self-directed behavior, which includes continuous acquisition, development, creative application, and articulation of critical thinking and expressive/intuitive skills and abilities focused on the achievement of a more satisfying existence. Intellectual wellness is also evidenced by a demonstrated commitment to life long learning. DEFINITION OF SPIRITUAL WELLNESS A person engaged in the process of spiritual wellness is willing and able to transcend oneself in order to question the meaning and purpose in his/her life and the lives of others. He/she is involved in the process of questioning all that is around him/her and has an appreciation for that which cannot be completely understood. This person seeks to find harmony between that which lies within and the social and physical forces that come from outside. Feelings of doubt, despair, fear, disappointment and dislocation as well as feelings of pleasure, joy, eagerness and discovery are part of this search for a universal value system. The person on a path towards spiritual wellness is learning to be tolerant of the opposites and contradictions that exist within his/her world and beliefs and influences of others. He/she is able to engage in the formulation of a systematic worldview, and system of values that give unity, purpose and goals to one's hopes, striving, thoughts and action. DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL WELLNESS People experiencing wellness in the physical dimension work toward investing time each week in the pursuit of endurance, flexibility and strength. Physical wellness involves taking responsibility and care for minor illness and also knowing when professional medical attention is necessary. Physical wellness includes being able to monitor one's own vital signs whether perceived or measured. Physical wellness entails an understanding of the relationship between sound nutrition and the functioning of the body. Included in physical wellness is an awareness of the body's true identity, depth of feelings, tension patterns, reactions, balance and harmony. The body is recognized as a formal expression of physiological development and personal evolution. DEFINITION OF EMOTIONAL WELLNESS An emotionally well person is both aware of and accepts a wide range of feelings in him/herself and others. He/she is able to freely express feelings and to manage feelings effectively to arrive at personal choices/decisions based upon the integration of feelings, cognition and behavior. He/she is self-aware and self-accepting while remaining flexible and continually open to personal development. The emotionally well person can function autonomously but is aware of personal limitations and the value of seeking interpersonal support and assistance. He/she also forms interdependent relationships based upon mutual commitment, trust and respect. The emotionally well person is willing to accept challenges, take risks, and acknowledge conflict as being potentially healthy. The emotionally well person maintains a generally positive approach to life that is rooted in his/her sense of personal responsibility for, and ability to manage, his/her life in personally fulfilling ways. Emotional wellness is not an end stage but a continual process of change and growth.
