Wellness Wheel: The 7 Dimensions of Wellness

Wellness is all about maintaining a balance between the many different aspects of your life. Think of it as a wheel with 7 spokes - if one spoke (one aspect of your life) is underdeveloped or neglected, the wheel (your overall wellness) will be off balance.

Everyone's optimal wellness will be different, depending on your own needs, experiences, personality, and circumstances. As we make our way through life, different aspects will fall in and out of balance - it's our job to try and maintain as much of a balance as possible.

Use this wheel to determine what areas of your life are balanced and what areas of your life may need some improvement. Each dimension includes a list of resources available to you both on and off campus.
