Envisioning the Future

My definition of wellness is now different. Before starting this course, I thought that wellness involved physical health only. I am now aware that wellness has so many dimensions. The dimensions of wellness that I have discovered in this class include physical, mental, spiritual, intellectual, social, and emotional wellness (Stoewen, 2017). No dimension of wellness is more critical than the other. This class has taught me many things about wellness; now, I view it differently. The four lenses help an individual comprehend an issue in wellness. It allows someone to understand if they have any problems with wellness. It also helps us understand the impacts of wellness-related matters on society. The four lenses have created a new perspective on viewing wellness. When you critically analyze a situation in wellness through the four lenses, you get a better picture of the origin of the problem.

Wellness has exciting implications in the future. I wonder if many people viewed wellness only in the physical dimension as I did. Many people do not understand that wellness is not only related to physical health. I hope that wellness will be a subject that will be extensively explored to ensure most people understand all the dimensions of wellness in the future. Suppose all aspects of wellness are not considered in decision-making at the societal level, which will create imbalances. I will apply everything I have learned in this course. I am not someone who judges others, but when I see others pass judgment on individuals due to issues in wellness, I will talk to them and explain to them what wellness is all about. Lessons learned from this course will help me live a more balanced life. I will implement self-care strategies such as physical activity, adequate sleep, and a healthy diet to improve my wellness (Martínez et al., 20221)
