5 Pillars of Wellbeing—Taking Care of the Whole You 

You have likely heard the term “wellness” many times. However, have you ever stopped to think about what wellness means? Think about wellness as completing activities and making choices that lead to reaching your fullest potential and living a life where you are thriving, not just surviving! This means wellness is much more than just your body’s physical health—it looks at many different areas of life that make you a whole person. At BMW, we refer to these areas of life as pillars.

There are 5 pillars of wellness that make up the BMW Wellbeing. Your Way Program: mind, body, finance, career, and community. Think of yourself as a building and each of these pillars serves as an important support to keep you standing. If you spend all of your time making one pillar strong, but do not work to make other pillars strong, the building will eventually collapse. Take a second to read the brief description of each pillar below and think about how each applies to your current lifestyle.

1) Mind: becoming aware of and understanding the thoughts and emotions of yourself and others.

2) Body: nourishing your body through nutrition, exercise, sleep, substance avoidance, etc.

3) Finance: learning skills to help take control of finances for security throughout your life.

4) Career: developing professional goals while finding enrichment and satisfaction in your work roles.

5) Community: volunteering time to help those in need and improving your community.

One of the BMW Wellbeing. Your Way Program’s goals is to help you explore each of these pillars in your life and provide opportunities for you to grow into a happy, whole person—where all pillars of wellness are equally strong and supportive. In the new year, we encourage you to consider participating in this free program not only for the flex credit perk, but to learn practical ways to grow your personal wellbeing. Look for opportunities listed on the Daily News and Wellbeing Portal as well as offerings at the Associate Family Health Center.
