The Wellness Wheel
Halbert L. Dunn, a U.S. doctor, began using the phrase high level wellness in the 1950s, and defined wellness as "an integrated method of functioning which is oriented toward maximizing the potential of which the individual is capable. It requires that the individual maintain a continuum of balance and purposeful direction within the environment where he is functioning." He also stated that: "Wellness is a direction in progress toward an ever-higher potential of functioning."
The Wellness Wheel is a metaphorical model that offers an integrated overview of human life. The harmonious balance of these life functions results in good health and wellbeing. Like a wheel, if components of the wheel are missing, one's life cannot run as effectively.
