The Six Areas of Whole Person Development

As humans, we develop over time. We become more advanced in certain elements of our lives. For
example, one may build their physical fitness by working out and becoming stronger and faster or
they may gain experience in their professional work and be promoted to a higher position.

Rather than focusing on developing one, or a few of these areas, whole person development focuses
on six core components of life. These components are: emotional, physical, spiritual, social,
psychological, and professional. Focusing on these six aspects of Whole Person Development allows
you to live a balanced and successful life.

Let’s take a deeper look into these core elements so we can learn how to develop each of them.

1. Emotional

Your emotions shape who you are.They give rise to your reactions to situations, your personality,
your connection with others, your adaptation to change, your ability to handle stressful situations, and
much, much more. Developing your emotions, or your emotional intelligence, gives way to learning
more about yourself and others.

Your emotional intelligence is your capability to recognize your emotions and use them to guide your
thinking and actions. Emotional intelligence has been shown to be the driver of success, in more
ways than one. It creates leadership skills, social skills, and self-help skills. In fact, emotional
intelligence may even be a better indicator of workplace success than high IQ levels.

Your emotional intelligence also helps you relate and empathize with others. Here at Gloveworx, we
put a large emphasis on your tribe and your social connection to others. Your relationships form a
huge part of your life and thus impact your overall success.

Working on the emotional aspect of Whole Person Development will help you to become more
productive in many different areas of your life.

2. Physical

The physical aspect of Whole Person Development relates to your physical health. It entails eating
the right foods, exercising to maintain a healthy body, getting enough sleep, and managing stress.

We know very well how important physical health is. It prevents disease, helps maintain a healthy
body weight, and makes you feel good. However, we rarely pay attention to the other ways in which
physical fitness affects us.

Being healthy is good for so much more than merely your body. When you’re eating right, exercising
and taking care of your overall wellbeing, you have more mental clarity and energy to push through
daily responsibilities. It keeps you happy and confident, which translates into fulfillment in other areas
of your life, such as work, parenting, and social relationships.

Gloveworx views your vitality, or physical health, as an extremely important aspect of your overall
development that will help you reach higher levels of success.
3. Spiritual

Spirituality is an essential piece of the Whole Person Development puzzle. It’s a means of finding
purpose and connecting with yourself as well as with the world around you. It’s important to note that
spiritualism can be different for everybody. It might be faith, prayer, meditation, or even being out in
nature.

Spiritual awareness helps fulfill a variety of different human functions. It promotes compassion,
positive relationships, a sense of purpose, honesty, optimism, and inner peace. These characteristics
make up a crucial part of success and happiness.

4. Social

Almost everything we do in life involves interacting with others. It’s imperative that we understand
how to form and maintain good relationships, as well as how to properly act in different social
environments. For example, the way you talk with your boss at work will be much different than the
way you interact with friends.

To be truly successful, it’s important to understand how to present yourself in a variety of different
social atmospheres.

5. Psychological

It’s easy to portray a certain image of yourself to others. Through social media or even in-person
interactions, people see you from the outside. Your outer image is normally much different from
what’s on the inside.

The psychological aspect of Whole Person Development relates to knowing your true inner self. It
promotes self-esteem and self-acceptance. Your relationship with yourself is arguably the most
crucial driver of success. After all, if you don’t believe in your capabilities, who will?

Self-belief creates optimism, drive, motivation, and ultimately, success.

6. Professional

We spend A LOT of our time at work. It makes sense then that your professional life and
happiness are closely linked. Think about it; a high-stress job that causes you to work overtime is
likely going to bring stress and time-management issues into your personal life. If you wake up every
morning dreading going to work, that’s going to have a huge effect on your mood and on the way you
start your day.

Every job comes with problems and stressors, but if you are generally happy and doing something
that fulfills you, you will feel accomplished in other areas of your life as well.
