Five pillars of wellness.

Our bodies help us move through the world and engage with the things most important to us. Valuing physical health means prioritizing fitness and function in all body systems: sleep, exercise, nutrition and monitoring substance use.

We are social creatures! Being part of a community is an important way for humans to feel connected to each other. When we communicate effectively and contribute to our communities, we feel better about ourselves.

Knowing ourselves can lead to more intentional actions and a greater sense of purpose. Becoming familiar with our personal values, emotions, thoughts, and internal life is important on the path to overall wellness.

Vocation and professional activities are an important part of our identity. When we feel good about how we are contributing our skills and talents to the world, we move closer to general well-being.

Having a strong connection to the people in our inner circle can help support our general well-being. Working toward better interactions with those we love most helps us achieve a positive sense of belonging.
