What are the Dimensions of Wellness?

Written By Annika Karr

In 1976, Dr. Bill Hettler who co-founded the National Wellness Institute (NWI), created the six dimensional model of wellness:

Since that time, others have added additional dimensions that they value, for example:

  • Cultural

  • Financial

  • Environmental

  • Sexual

  • Creative

Our ideal individual wellness in each of these categories is personal. Each of us has different values, strengths, and ambitions. Sometimes we may be struggling in one category, and thriving in another. Defining our ideals, and reaching toward them with an open mind to change, is rewarding and is the greatest gift we give ourselves and those we love!

Would you like to take aim at your optimal wellness? Which categories could use some attention?
