The Wright Model of Applied Well-being is a tool designed to support everyone’s personal well-being journey. It identifies four inner dimensions—spiritual, cognitive, emotional, and physical—which together shape how we experience ourselves, with physical health influenced by the others (think of them as spirit, mind, brain, and body). External dimensions—social and environmental—are dynamic, shifting throughout the day, with energy flowing both inward and outward. Financial and professional (or occupational) dimensions are also external, often goal-oriented, and influenced by both inner and external states. Cultural and community dimensions reflect how shared narratives shape our collective sense of belonging and acceptance.

The model was developed over the course of daily journaling for more than a year, reflecting lived experience, observation, and iterative learning. It is intended as a practical guide to help individuals understand and connect all dimensions of well-being into everyday life.
