We hear the word “wellbeing” thrown around a lot these days, but few fully understand what it entails. Is it perhaps an absence of disease or illness? Or something more complex than that?

In my opinion, wellbeing is certainly complex and the multi-dimensional model of wellbeing that I introduce in this episode will demonstrate that it goes beyond just being in good physical and emotional health, it also means that we feel comfortable and happy with our occupational, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, financial and social wellbeing.

Research by Gallup in 2021 indicated that the more of these dimensions require our attention, the more likely we are to experience mental health challenges and burnout.

Once we begin to view wellbeing from a multi-dimensional lens, we can become more in tune with our wellbeing needs and take impactful and supportive actions.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Varying definitions of wellbeing
  • An introduction to the eight dimensions of wellbeing
  • A reflective practice that can help you “check the pulse” on your own wellbeing
  • How to begin addressing gaps in your wellbeing
