MIND = Emotional dimension & Intellectual dimension

Mind is ‘the set of cognitive faculties that enables consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, and memory’. Wellness philosophy of life divides mind into two dimensions – emotional and intellectual.

Emotional dimension of wellness consists of the awareness and the acceptance of feelings and emotions we experience. The ability to communicate with our feelings, to capture, name and accept them will guarantee our well-being. Such an ability towards ourselves helps to accept a variety of different emotions other people have. It also helps to understand their intentions and feelings. If we understand the emotional states of other people, we can help them effectively by supporting them and helping to settle senseless conflicts that are often based on emotions.

The acceptance of who we are and what we are like is also a part of this dimension. Each of us has strengths and weaknesses; you do have them too. Awareness and acceptance of our strong and weak points is the foundation of emotional well-being and the only way to development and change.

If we take care of our internal life and emotions and constantly work on that wellness dimension, we will be able to create and maintain truly satisfying relations with other people – romantic, partnership and friendly.

Wellness intellectual dimension consists of the desire to discover the world, to learn and create. It means continuous intellectual development and learning new things every day. If we take care of the development in this dimension, it will be easier for us to accept and enjoy the diversity of the world.

Taking care of intellectual dimension, which consists in continuous development, searching for information, interest in the environment and the world, improves the quality of our life. Experts use the term ‘intellectual well-being’. A person with intellectual well-being is considered knowledgeable, not ignorant.
