At the Rollins Wellness Center, our goal is to create a healthier, more holistic way of life for students by promoting, educating, and providing services related to the Nine Dimensions of Wellness.
Nine Dimensions at Rollins
At Rollins College, the Nine Dimensions of Wellness is a mutually interdependent, holistic approach to achieving well-being in one's life. We promote addressing each dimension equally to achieve the best version of oneself. If one of these dimensions gets neglected over time, it will adversely affect one's health, well-being, and quality of life.
Why Nine?
Many of us think of wellness in terms of physical and mental health. At Rollins, holistic wellness has nine interconnected dimensions: physical, emotional, creative, environmental, financial, occupational, intellectual,social, and spiritual. Everyday activities that might not at first seem related to wellness can help us develop, thrive, succeed, enjoy life, and deal constructively with life challenges. For example, by seeking out artistic activities and cultural experiences, we're enhancing our Creative Wellness. When we learn new transferable skills or take strides in our career, our Occupational Wellness is increasing.
Increasing Wellness
It's natural at different times to focus on some dimensions of wellness over others, and balancing the Nine Dimensionsof Wellness in our own lives is an ongoing process. We hope the resources provided here for each dimension will help you begin, or continue, a purposeful effort to grow in the dimensions that are most meaningful to you.
