Swarbrick: Honoring Your Wellness in all 8 Dimension of Wellness

November 26, 2025 by The Alliance for Rights and Recovery

Alliance Alert: Wishing you all a very special Thanksgiving holiday from our Alliance family. In the spirit of gratitude and appreciation for each of you, here’re some very apt and wise words from our friend Peggy Swarbrick, the creator of the 8 Dimensions of Wellness.  

As we pause this season of gratitude, may you honor your wellness in all 8 dimensions.
May your emotional wellness be supported with moments of calm, reflection, and compassion for yourself.
May your social wellness be nourished by connection—whether with family, friends, community, or quiet moments of meaningful presence.
May your physical wellness be cared for through rest, nourishment, and movement that restores your energy.
May your spiritual wellness be strengthened by grounding practices, gratitude, or beliefs that bring you peace.
May your occupational wellness include balance, purpose, and permission to step away and recharge.
May your intellectual wellness be fueled by curiosity and inspiration, even during rest.
May your financial wellness feel steady, supported, and aligned with what matters most.
May your environmental wellness be enriched by spaces that feel safe, comforting, and hopeful.

May this season remind us that wellness is collective, and that caring for ourselves helps us care for one another.
Wishing you peace, connection, and replenishment across all 8 dimensions of wellness.
