Intellectual wellness involves engaging in creative and mentally-stimulating activities, expanding your knowledge through cultural, artistic, or skill-based learning, and sharing knowledge and skills with others.
Ways to work on intellectual well-being:
- Make time for an established hobby or new hobby
- Learn about and gain exposure to different cultures
- Conduct research with faculty
- Journal your thoughts and ideas
- Seek academic support when needed
- Try something new in order to learn something new (visit a museum, see a musical performance, attend a lecture or a play)
- Join a club or organization with a mission you are drawn to
- Talk to your adviser and register for courses that seem interesting
- Engage in intellectual and diversified conversations with peers, advisors, staff, faculty, etc.
- Read something every day (novel, news, magazine, published research, etc.)
