As the semester winds down and temperatures drop, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with finals, emotions, and the shifts in temperature and daylight that come around this time of year. December can be full of cheer, celebration, and fun, but it can also be a month of grief, loneliness, and stress.
Wolverine Wellness is here to remind you that there is warmth in this season, both around and within you.
One way to reconnect with that warmth is to focus on the eight dimensions of well-being:
- Physical
- Mental
- Environmental
- Financial
- Occupational
- Social
- Intellectual
- Spiritual.
These dimensions work together for your benefit. Even focusing on just one dimension can make a meaningful difference during a busy month like this.
As you move through these final weeks of the semester, we hope you find moments of warmth, light, comfort, joy, and care. Remember, taking time for yourself is not selfish, it’s essential. And you don’t have to do it alone! Wolverine Wellness is here to help you find the tools you need to enhance your well-being through wellness coaching and cheer you on along the way.
You can find more information about the eight dimensions of well-being and wellness coaching on our website: wolverinewellness.umich.edu.
Stay warm, stay well, and take good care of yourself this December.
