Wellness: An active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life...
CEO’s Welcome: Why Wellness Dear ISANA Educators, ISANA has as part of its family amazing educational professionals who demonstrate a commitment to cultivating all that is good within our students. No matter the capacity in which they work, all employees contribute to the success of our students by adding immeasurable value to their lives. Therefore, providing the mechanisms through which employees are informed about and connected to resources that result in healthy living is of utmost importance to ISANA. This booklet orients you to the 8 Dimensions of Wellness we value for our employees at ISANA, and how you as an ISANA employee will be given resources for all each of these. As we journey through the 8 Dimensions of Wellness together, we encourage you to find the Wellness Champion within and actively live a life that is socially, emotionally, spiritually, environmentally, occupationally, intellectually, physically, and financially balanced.

The 8 Dimensions of Wellness
What are the 8 Dimensions of Wellness?
DIMENSION DEFINITION
Social Ability to relate to and connect with other people in our world. Our ability to establish and
maintain positive relationships with family, friends and co-workers contributes to our Social
Wellness.
Emotional Ability to understand ourselves and cope with the challenges life can bring. The ability to
acknowledge and share feelings of anger, fear, sadness or stress; hope, love, joy and happiness
in a productive manner contributes to our Emotional Wellness.
Spiritual Ability to establish peace and harmony in our lives. The ability to develop congruency between
values and actions and to realize a common purpose that binds creation together contributes
to our Spiritual Wellness.
Environmental Ability to recognize our own responsibility for the quality of the air, the water and the land that
surrounds us. The ability to make a positive impact on the quality of our environment, be it our
homes, our communities or our planet contributes to our Environmental Wellness.
Occupational Ability to get personal fulfillment from our jobs or our chosen career fields while still
maintaining balance in our lives. Our desire to contribute in our careers to make a positive
impact on the organizations we work in and to society as a whole leads to Occupational
Wellness.
Intellectual Ability to open our minds to new ideas and experiences that can be applied to personal
decisions, group interaction and community betterment. The desire to learn new concepts,
improve skills and seek challenges in pursuit of lifelong learning contributes to our Intellectual
Wellness.
Physical Ability to maintain a healthy quality of life that allows us to get through our daily activities
without undue fatigue or physical stress. The ability to recognize that our behaviors have a
significant impact on our wellness and adopting healthful habits (routine check ups, a balanced
diet, exercise, etc.) while avoiding destructive habits (tobacco, drugs, alcohol, etc.) will lead to
optimal Physical Wellness.
Financial Ability to successfully manage financial expenses. Money plays a critical role in our lives and
not having enough of it impacts health as well as academic performance. Financial stress
is repeatedly found to be a common source of stress, anxiety and fear for college students.
Keeping track of expenses, making a budget, and sticking to it are important skills to have
in order to be finically responsible and independent. The desire to maximize our financial
competencies now will help us feel prepared to handle potentially stressful financial situations
in the future contributes to our Financial Wellness.
