- In this video, we explore Wellness in Eight Dimensions - a widely accepted model by Dr. Margaret (Peggy) Swarbrick that is currently utilized by various organizations, including The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Whether you're a wellness enthusiast or someone seeking positive change, this video is for you. The 8 Dimensions of Wellness apply to everyone, and understanding and incorporating them into your life can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling existence.
✨The Basics of Wellness
Wellness can be defined as your overall wellbeing - it’s a holistic approach to living a happier, healthier, and more satisfying life. It gives us a sense of growth, connection, meaning, and purpose.
It is not about the absence of illness, stress, or misfortune. Wellness involves the areas of our lives we can control. It takes time and effort to improve your overall wellness, so accepting personal responsibility to make necessary changes for positive results is crucial.
⚖️ Balancing Act: The 8 Dimensions of Wellness
These dimensions form a comprehensive framework for wellness. Each dimension is a crucial piece of the wellness puzzle, and neglecting one will impact the others.
Learn how to navigate and balance these dimensions in your life. You don't need to perfect every aspect, but finding a sustainable way to address each dimension is key. I'll share insights on how to use this model to find balance uniquely suited to you - additional resources below.
📋 Breakdown of the 8 Dimensions: Tips for Personal Growth
Physical Wellness: Exercise, nutrition, and self-care for a healthy body.
Emotional Wellness: Cultivating positive emotions and coping with life's challenges.
Intellectual Wellness: Lifelong learning and mental stimulation for personal growth.
Spiritual Wellness: Finding meaning, purpose, and inner peace in life.
Environmental Wellness: Feeling safe and comfortable in your environment.
Social Wellness: Building and maintaining meaningful relationships and connections.
Financial Wellness: Managing finances for practical needs and future goals.
Occupational Wellness: Finding meaning and satisfaction in work or activities.

Remember, wellness is a journey, not a destination.
Here's to a healthier and more balanced you! ✨
Just keep making your videos and dont burn out, the frequency wont bother me i just discovered your channel and have some catching up to do. Thank you for making your videos, ive watched alot of different ones about bpd because my girlfriend might suffer from it or at least aspects of it and yours are the best. I like your sense of humor and i think its important to have some of that when conveying such serious information. I dont think i have bpd but i have had times when panic attacks were a problem for me so i think i can learn from you too. I love cats too so thats awesome you incorporate Lolita. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated!
Thank you so much for saying all that, Dawn. I put a lot of effort into these videos (and into improving myself to get here), so you don't know how much that means to me. I really wanted to make something that's both informative AND entertaining - something that highlights my authentic self. There are still many limits to my creativity here, but the more I learn about filming and editing, the more I'm able to expand that. I plan on doing this for a long time, so I'm excited to see how my video quality improves in time. There's already a huge difference from my first video.
I'm sorry to hear about your girlfriend, but I'm glad you find my content helpful, and I hope she gets the help she needs and improves and heals in time. In my "BPD Advice Part 1" video I talk about symptoms being more important than diagnosis, so even if she doesn't technically have BPD, a lot of the same things that help pwBPD would likely help her. Honestly, they'd help a lot of people - BPD symptoms are more extreme and persistent versions of issues many people struggle with.
And yes! I'm back to focusing more on BPD specific content for a little, but I also make videos on wellness and self improvement that benefit people without BPD as well. Since I was misdiagnosed for so long, a lot of the understanding and growth I've found wasn't through a BPD-specific treatment approach. It's been more holistic, and I like to think there's a little something for everyone in my videos.
Thank you so much for following and watching and commenting. I'll be sure to tell Lolita she has another fan as well :) I hope you keep enjoying the videos, and I hope to hear from you again!
Another good lesson for me. I have to work on those 7 dimensions of wellness. Thanks for your advice.
Sorry, EIGHT dimensions
I'm really glad it resonated with you ☺️
It’s better to have a sustainable pace of video production, than to push and either burn out or start ruining your life in other areas. I think you’re making the right call 🙏
Thank you, it’s all about balance!!!
Fun cat pause!
I found your channel because I just learned of the 7 Dimensions of Wellness then heard of the 8! I'm seeing the Dimensions through the lens of Getting Things Done (GTD). It might be useful for this channel...Having all the things you want to do recorded and only doing one of them can be an emotional, intellectual and spiritual relief.
From that lens, assuming you have tasks in all 8 dimensions to move you forward, what methods have you found to decide what to do next when it's not obvious? Importance/Urgence (Eisenhower matrix)? Production/Production Capacity (Steven Covey)? Tracking actual time vs what you'd like to spend on each? Magical dice...?
Welcome!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I’ve heard of GTD but haven’t looked into it much - I just made a note of it!
That’s a great question - and one I wish I currently had a great answer for 😅 I’ve tried various productivity systems in the past and haven’t had any stick long-term. I’m currently going through a productivity overhaul, trying to find what works best for me. I’ve been breaking down, evaluating, and reworking my general habits so I can build more solid routines that (in time) won’t require so much conscious decision making or willpower. There are many daily actions that contribute to the 8 dimensions of wellness that can run on autopilot, which frees up a lot of mental energy. I’m focusing more on keystone habits that trickle down into other habits.
I’m also trying to keep my to-do lists very minimal. I have 3 general quarterly goals, and I make 3 monthly tasks to work towards those, which get broken down into 3 weekly tasks that I chip away at on top of my normal day-to-day activities. I am easily overwhelmed by to too much self-imposed pressure these days, so I’m trying to gently refocus, rework my systems, and restore balance.
I’m certainly not opposed to ever revisiting systems like those you mentioned or exploring new ones, they just don’t serve me well with where I currently am in life. What have you found most helpful?
@@SarruhTonin I empathize with your feeling overwhelmed by systems that organize time/tasks. My struggles are a bit different. Once I've captured everything I need or want to do and made reasonable decisions about what to do next, I feel a bit repelled by it all. I just recently found that I really need time to let the imagination run wild, to generate new world changing ideas etc. Seeing everything I need to do laid out feel a bit like a prison even though they're the things I specifically want to do.
So far, I'm using long walks or Zone 2 exercise to allow my mind to wander. Both are good anyway, but doing "mindless" things allows the mind rest and create even better ideas.
But, I'm currently reading a book on how our emotions affect our productivity and how to shift our perspective so our tasks support our mood rather than requiring iron will to complete. It's sort of popular right now in the productivity world. "Feel Good Productivity" by Ali Abdaal.
There are some summaries on RUclips, but reading the whole book for me at least makes the insights more meaningful.
GTD is very helpful for managing a complex life, but doesn't offer specific help if you just don't want to do the things you've set out to do.
I find long walks and free movement very helpful for my mind as well! That's also where the nourshing "rest and play" aspect I mention in my video comes in handy - they can seem counterproductive in the "grind culture" that's so common now, but they actually contribute greatly to productivity. It can feel like taking a small step back at times, but it ultimately makes it easier to take multiple steps forward.
I love the sound of that book and just added it to my list - thank you for the recommendation! And thank you for commenting, I love hearing other people's thoughts and experiences on these topics.
What do you think about ASMR?
It doesn't really do anything for me, so it's not my thing
