ABSTRACT

What do you need on a daily basis to maintain your wellness? Throughout this podcast, we use the wellness wheel to highlight eight dimensions of wellness and the importance of a multi-pronged approach to reviewing our own wellness each day. We encourage you to review each dimension and determine the areas where you may be thriving as well as the dimensions needing a little extra TLC (tender loving care). Our hope is that you will continue to incorporate self-care strategies each day and remember that self-care is not selfish. Finally, we are the Pack and there are a multitude of resources and support systems available here at NCSU. We encourage you to connect and explore our community. We are in this together!
