Aspects of Wellness �I placed an importance on Physical Wellness because I value my body greatly and I don’t want to take for granted my ability to move without pain and play sports. �My next most valued aspect of wellness is Intellectual. I think it is very important to be knowledgeable about many topics and I enjoy using my knowledge in everyday life.

� My third most valued aspect is spiritual. It is very important to me to know that God is there when nobody else it. It is very comforting to know that I will never be alone as long as I remain spiritual. � After Spiritual wellness, I placed Emotional and Social wellness at the same value. � I have rated environmental and occupational wellness the same as spiritual. I feel that a healthy and happy environment is incredibly important to overall wellness. One’s basic needs must be met before other areas are important. � I feel that occupational wellness is crucial. We spend much of each day, and our life as a whole, dedicated to our work. I strive to find my calling – my passion – as it is my philosophy that if I can achieve this, I will not ever work a day in my life!

�I am not an overly emotional person so it is not as important to me as Physical, Intellectual and spiritual. However, I recognize that emotional wellness is important in my overall feelings about myself and life. �Social wellness is also not as important to me as other aspects because I know that God will always be there for me and therefore I don’t rely on other people as much. I enjoy being social with others but it is not something I place a lot of value on when considering my overall wellness.

�I also realize that all aspects of wellness are related and important to consider and be aware of to be a complete and healthy person.

Changes to my wellness wheel as I age �My physical wellness will remain important as my body naturally begins to slow down and everyday life becomes more difficult. �I also believe my social wellness will become more important because I will want to let the people I love know that I love them before I am gone. I will want to ensure everybody knows how much they mean to me. �By doing this, my emotional wellness will also be important because I will be more emotional and discussing my thoughts and feelings with those I love. �The only aspect I will place less importance on is my intellectual wellness because I will know that I have passed on all the knowledge that I can and I should focus my thoughts and energy on other things.
