What is intellectual wellness?
Intellectual wellness involves engaging in creative and stimulating activities that promote growth and development of skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, reflection, self-awareness, and nurturing curiosity and creativity. It also involves managing biases, evaluating thinking patterns, and effectively managing negative self-talk.
Ways of fostering intellectual wellness include but are not limited to:
Engaging with topics and materials outside your major
Reading and learning about topics based on personal interest
Attending a workshop, event, or conference on something unfamiliar
Taking a trip to visit a museum, attend a reading or play, or an open mic night
Building strong study and time management skills
Applying critical thinking to new ideas as well as your own views, perspectives, and opinions
Engaging in research opportunities
Being open to learning new things that challenge what you already know
