There are six dimensions of wellness, occupational, physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional. This is what they mean to me. Occupational health is being in a healthy environment at your workplace and having healthy relationships with co-workers.

Intellectual health is being a critical thinker and developing your own ideas. Spiritual wellness is putting my beliefs into my health journey. Emotional wellness is expressing your feelings and relating them to your fitness journey.
