Intellectual Wellness

Intellectual Wellness is one of the 7 Aspects of Wellness.  Essentially, Intellectual Wellness is focused on learning.  Any activity that helps you explore the world around you, learn more about yourself, or expands your mind in any way supports healthy Intellectual Wellness.  This can be accomplished in a number of ways.  Reading, learning new skills, taking part in hobbies, being creative, and appreciating art are all ways to support your Intellectual Wellness.  In fact, whenever you’re learning something new about any of the other 7 Aspects of Wellness, you’re supporting your Intellectual Wellness as well. 

Many people might hear the term “Intellectual Wellness” and think that it would be dull or boring.  Reading is a great way to learn new things, but if you’re not into reading, there are other things you can do to support your Intellectual Wellness.  You can include positive media sources, like radio programs, news and TV that promotes an Aspect of Wellness.  You can exercise your mind by creating your own art, picking up some new skills from a community college course or learning about a new hobby.  You can learn more about your culture with a visit to a history museum.  You can change the way you perceive the world with a trip to a play or an art museum.  All of this leads to greater Intellectual Wellness.  And, if you do decide to read, you don’t have to read boring literature.  You can read romance novels, magazines, or newspapers.  Intellectual Wellness helps you live a more fulfilling life as you feel stimulated and engaged with the world around you—if you’re learning something new, you’re focusing on your Intellectual Wellness!
