is the ability to open our minds to new ideas and experiences that can be applied to personal decisions, group interaction and community betterment. The desire to learn new concepts, improve skills and seek challenges in pursuit of lifelong learning contributes to our Intellectual Wellness.

Intellectual Wellness Check:

This is a quick check of your intellectual wellness.

• Do I participate in class?
• Am I open to new ideas?
• Do I seek personal growth by learning new skills?
• Do I search for lifelong learning opportunities and stimulating mental activities?
