CODAC Management Manual

• Participating in a stimulating conversation Intellectual wellness can look very different for different people because everyone has different intellectual needs. What’s important is to recognize your own needs and find ways to create meaning in your life and increase your sense of fulfillment. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL WELLNESS Environmental wellness has to do with how your surroundings support your well-being. As with intellectual wellness, this can look very different for different people. One person might decorate or paint a room to foster environmental wellness, while another might move to another city. Environmental wellness has some elements that apply to everyone. These include: Living in a clean and safe environment, free from violence and other health and safety risks. Noticing how your environment impacts your physical, mental, and emotional health is key. Taking stock of environmental wellness means becoming aware of how your surroundings add or detract from your well-being and taking steps to make positive changes. 8. OCCUPATIONAL WELLNESS We often don’t discuss occupational wellness as much as the other dimensions of wellness, but it is imperative to our quality of life. The average adult spends 40 hours a week at work. Occupational wellness involves: • Working at a job you enjoy • Finding meaning or belonging at your place of employment • Doing work that is consistent with your values Increasing occupational wellness can mean leaving a toxic work environment for a healthy one, or it could mean undertaking skill training to pursue a career you’d like. Finding a sense of meaning or enjoyment from your occupation is an integral part of building a life that inspires you to stay in recovery and focus on increasing wellness in all dimensions of life.
