Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) Wellbeing Framework
Our wellbeing is dynamic and ever changing. During different times of our lives some aspects of our wellbeing will take priority, while others may be less significant. This is OK and normal.
All aspects of our health and wellness are interconnected. Each dimension of wellbeing affects the others and vice versa.
It is important to take time to check in with ourselves to notice if we are spending time on the areas of wellbeing that are important to us.
Developing each dimension is about practice, not perfection. We seek to strengthen our overall wellbeing and try to let go of the idea of perfection.
The image above is based on the stained glass rose window outside of Memorial Hall. We love this image because wellbeing is just like stained glass. Depending on the type of light hitting the stained glass, it will change. It is always dynamic, just like us all.
