Emotional Health: Your Heart

Often, caring for your heart gets overlooked. But this is SO CRITICAL! This area includes having a fulfilling purpose, spending time with those you love, releasing emotions in a healthy way, and doing what makes you happy.

Psychological Health: Your Mind

Doing challenging things is an important step in staying healthy and happy. This category includes trying new things, taking calculated risks, learning, setting life goals, and taking breaks from technology.

Spiritual Health: Your Soul

And finally, staying centered and open is essential to a life well-lived. This category involves time in nature, time alone, reflection, and gratitude.
