About the Wheel
Imagine the different aspects of wellness represented on a wheel - like what is shown here. The results of a self-assessment determines the size of each segment of your wheel. Would you be strong in some areas and not in others? How well-rounded would your wheel be? Would your wheel be small or large in size? Generally speaking, the bigger and more well-rounded the wheel, the better your overall wellness. BetterU can help you get started on a path of developing skills to improve your overall health and wellness.
Getting Started with the BetterU Program in 4 Easy Steps
Step 1: Begin with self-assessment.
Begin by taking the self-assessment. Don’t worry, it is anonymous and will just have a few questions on each of the 7 facets of wellness. Once you complete the assessment, graph your results (details here), reflect on your results and start to identify one or two facets of wellness to focus on first.
Step 2: Make an Action Plan
After identifying these areas that you want to work on, we encourage you to develop an Action Plan (available here in Canvas) for the next 3-4 months. It doesn’t take long and can assist you in being more intentional in your efforts.
Step 3: Help with Your Plan
Finding ways to improve some aspects of wellness may be a challenge and so we have provided some help. You can learn more about each of the facets of wellness by clicking on the tiles below. You will also gain access to the lists of activities and resources both on and off campus that can assist you. Select a few key activities to include in your Action Plan.
Step 4: Get Credit While Working to Improve Your Wellness
You can start to get credit for your efforts to improve Wellness in the 360⁰ Critical Skills for Career Success Program by reporting the completion of the assessment and developing an Action Plan to gradcareersuccess@okstate.edu.
