The US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration describes wellness in eight dimensions, emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual, using a model developed by Peggy Swarbrick. The point of the list is that money worries or a lonely stretch count as much as fitness. This word find hides seven of the eight, along with a few everyday words like HABITS and PURPOSE. Self care and mental health have their own grids on the site.
Frequently asked questions
Which dimension of wellness is missing from the grid?
The environmental one. At thirteen letters it is too long for the puzzle, so the grid holds the other seven, from EMOTIONAL to SPIRITUAL.
Can I use this in a workplace wellness session?
Yes, as a light warm up before a talk or a health class. It is medium: words run across, down, backwards and up. It is a puzzle, not a health program.
