Their website has links to each of the eight dimensions of wellness, and tips for each dimension.
I personally feel that the idea of all eight wellbeing types overlapping is a bit overwhelming and makes it hard to figure out what's going on. It especially overlooks the importance of the three inner types of wellbeing and how they interact with one another in a systemic manner: emotional, intellectual, and spiritual, as shown in the tutti frutti model.
I'm also conscious of the fact that a model is all well and good but unless there is an explanation of its practical application the idea will fall short. I intend to address the practical application of the tutti frutti model after I've reviewed the nine types of wellbeing, drawing on the ideas posted in this thread from 2021 onwards.
- Emotional wellbeing is crucial for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience. An individual with strong emotional wellbeing is better equipped to handle stress and negative emotions, which are often barriers to change.
- Intellectual wellbeing I suspect fosters an open mindset, encouraging individuals to explore new ideas and perspectives.
- Spiritual wellbeing provides a sense of purpose and meaning, which can be a powerful motivator for change. It involves aligning actions with personal values and beliefs.
- Occupational wellbeing is about finding satisfaction and fulfilment in one’s work or daily activities. It involves having a sense of accomplishment and growth in one’s professional and personal life.
