Intellectual Wellness

Intellectual WellnessIntellectual wellness focuses on engaging oneself in activities, classes or experiences that challenge our thinking and knowledge about the world and our surroundings. Engaging with others from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, in addition to using individual personal creativity to explore and innovate, can contribute to the intellectual wellness dimension. Intellectual wellness focuses on pushing ourselves to ask questions, be curious, challenge our own ways of thinking, observe, listen, develop new ideas and become life-long learners. Learning doesn't stop at college as we all continue to grow and learn throughout our lives.
