Center for Health Education and Wellness Director Yusof Al-Wadei speaks with UT staff on spiritual wellness, one of the 8 Dimensions of Wellness.

Spiritual Wellness

Spiritual wellness represents one’s personal beliefs and values and involves having meaning, purpose, and a sense of balance and peace.

Developing Your Spiritual Wellness

  1. Regularly practice self-reflection to increase awareness of purpose, meaning, and connection in your life.  
  2. If you are a person of faith, seek opportunities to become involved in one of the various faith-based student organizations and opportunities in the community. 
  3. Develop practices like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness to help you focus on connection and spirituality.
