Answer 1

What are the six areas of wellness and how can they be incorporated into ones daily life?

By applying the Six Dimensional Model, a person becomes aware of the inter connectedness of each dimension and how they contribute to healthy living. This holistic model explains:
How a person contributes to their environment and community, and how to build better living spaces and social networks
The enrichment of life through work, and its interconnectedness to living and playing
The development of belief systems, values, and creating a world-view
The benefits of regular physical activity, healthy eating habits, strength and vitality as well as personal responsibility,self-care and when to seek medical attention
Self-esteem, self-control, and determination as a sense of direction
Creative and stimulating mental activities, and sharing your gifts with others
Applying a wellness approach can be useful in nearly every human endeavor. As a pathway to optimal living, wellness is being applied to related fields, such as health promotion and holistic health, and has seen a growth in "helping professions" including counseling and medical arts and practices.
