What Is Wellness?
Wellness is more than fitness—it’s a daily commitment to reaching your full potential. It’s about becoming aware of your choices and taking action to create a more balanced, successful, and meaningful life.
Georgia Southern defines wellness across seven key dimensions:
- Environmental – Living in harmony with nature and promoting sustainability
- Physical – Maintaining health through exercise, nutrition, and sleep
- Spiritual – Seeking purpose, meaning, and connection
- Occupational – Finding satisfaction and growth in your career or studies
- Intellectual – Staying curious and embracing lifelong learning
- Emotional – Understanding and expressing emotions in healthy ways
- Social – Building positive, respectful relationships and strong communities
Our programs are designed to support every dimension of wellness—so you can live fully and thrive in every part of your life.
