Wellness is "the balanced development of the total person..." (BYU Mission Statement), and is holistically comprised of six dimensions,
Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Financial, Emotional, and Social.
"Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith."
D&C 88: 118
Intellectual Wellness
Intellectual Wellness is the earnest and lifelong pursuit of knowledge and skills which creates a person who is more prepared to "go forth and serve" others with great capacity. Such open minded individuals find great joy and meaning in the beauty of creation, cultures, innovation, and the possibilities of a life well lived.
This year, we will highlight Intellectual Wellness during May and June.
