Enhance Your Life with the 10 Dimensions of Wellness

Wellness is a choice you make in life that requires continuous dedication and effort. It goes beyond general health and includes a positive outlook on your mind, body, and spirit. Here at the QuotableChef.com, my goal is to encourage and lead all of you towards an enhanced lifestyle through my blog posts and recipes, each of which are inspired by the ten dimensions of wellness. After all, as once said by prominent author, Virginia Woolf:

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." - Virginia Woolf

Listed below are each of the ten dimensions defined. As you continue to grow towards a healthier lifestyle, I encourage you to incorporate each of these dimensions in your daily life. When each of the dimensions of wellness are balanced and regularly practiced, you are free to begin living a whole and fulfilling life!

1. Physical - exercising and doing something active everyday

2. Spiritual - following a practice that allows for a higher power to enter your life

3. Emotional - developing inner strength and mental well-being

4. Environmental - respecting and interacting with nature and your personal setting

5. Intellectual - sharing and receiving knowledge with others
