Modern women juggle countless roles, often at the expense of their well-being. Multidimensional wellness ensures you’re surviving and thriving by addressing every layer of your being. It helps you align your internal health and external relationships with your life’s purpose, building a foundation for a life that shines.
As we step into 2025, “The Year of Multidimensional Wellness,” it’s time to align our lives with wellness practices that support the body, mind, and spirit and the communities and environments around us. The beauty of these foundational elements—resilience, functional clarity, vitality, harmony, power, community, and empowerment—is that they evolve with you. They are dynamic, just like your life, meeting you where you are and helping you grow into where you want to be.
This guide will walk you through the seven foundational elements of multidimensional wellness. Each builds on the other, creating a holistic approach to health that supports every level of your being. With introspection and intention, you can create your own "NOVA explosion" moments, embracing life’s changes and shining brightly as you move into new seasons.
THE SEVEN ELEMENTS OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL WELLNESS
(1) Resilience: Bouncing Back, Better
WHAT: Resilience is the ability to recover and adapt when life’s challenges arise. Internally, it’s about your emotional and physical capacity to handle stress and recover from adversity in all physiological forms. Externally, it’s about navigating relationships, careers, and environments –when things do and don’t go as planned.
WHY: Resilience is the core of your foundation. Internally, it supports stress recovery, hormonal balance, and immune function. Externally, it enables you to maintain stability and optimism in the face of uncertainty, empowering you to rebuild stronger. It also gives you a stable foundation to ground you when your life is aligned with the cosmos!
BUILD:
- Internal: Incorporate adaptogens like Rhodiola to support stress recovery and emotional balance. Our Breakthrough drink mix is the perfect resistance-building formula.
- External: Reframe setbacks as opportunities and moments when you can learn. Seek supportive environments that foster growth. Cultivate relationships that lift you in hard times and celebrate you in every achievement.
REFLECT AND GROW:
- Where am I bending but not breaking in my life, and how can I build upon that?
- What practices can I embrace to make my body more resilient to life’s challenges?
- Check in with your body. What form of resilience does it need most? Gut health? Strength? Immunity?
- Do I have the community I need to sustain resilience?
💜 NOVA Spark: Just as some supernovae form life-creating nebulas, your resilience (nebula) establishes the foundation for every other wellness element.
(2) Functional Clarity: Focusing on What Matters
WHAT: Functional clarity is about creating focus and intention in your life in ways that actually work for you (not everyone else) … that’s why it is functional. Internally, it’s the mental energy and calm needed to think clearly. Externally, it’s about simplifying your environment and commitments to align with your goals. It is aligning your presence in spaces that offer you room to create what only you can.
WHY: Clarity lets you prioritize what truly matters, preventing burnout and mental clutter. It enhances cognitive function and decision-making, which also impacts our physical health. Externally, it enables you to communicate and act purposefully, creating a more fulfilling life where you can shine.
BUILD:
- Internal: Support your brain with nootropics like lion’s mane and mindfulness practices. Write down your thoughts to try to ‘declutter’ your mind. Take a small dose of our Lift Off gummies for focus.
- External: Organize your physical space and say no to commitments that drain you. Set boundaries. Find people who pour into you as much as you pour into them.
REFLECT AND GROW:
- What distractions cloud my focus?
- What steps can I take to create mental and environmental clarity that I will genuinely act upon?
- When during the day do I need the most mental clarity?
- What will give me the boost I need?
💜 NOVA Spark: Functional clarity lets you see and move forward within your path with purpose, lighting up the next steps of your wellness journey.
(3) Vitality: Energy for a Purposeful Life
WHAT: Vitality is more than just energy—it’s the life force that powers your purpose and sustains your passion. Internally, vitality is about how well your body produces and sustains energy, ensuring your mind and body work in harmony (our next foundational element). Externally, it’s the enthusiasm and drive you bring to your relationships, work, and personal growth. Vitality is the spark that allows you to show up fully in every aspect of life.
WHY: Without vitality, even your grandest goals and dreams can feel out of reach. Internally, it’s balance—stable energy, cellular health, and endurance that carry you through your day. Externally, vitality fuels how you engage with the world, helping you live with intention and purpose rather than just getting by.
True vitality isn’t burning the candle at both ends or relying on quick fixes. It’s about nurturing a steady, vibrant energy that aligns with the life you want to create. It’s what allows you to greet each day with vigor, ready to take on opportunities and challenges alike.
BUILD:
- Internal:
- Nourish your body with energizing foods and supplements, like cordyceps, D-ribose, and adaptogens that promote cellular energy.
- Prioritize rest as much as action—quality sleep is the foundation of sustainable vitality.
- Practice breathwork or mindfulness to regulate your energy and avoid burnout.
- External:
- Identify the activities, environments, and relationships that energize you—and lean into them. Remove the ones that drain you or do not offer much value.
- Engage in purposeful movement that feels good for your body, whether it’s a hike, dance, or a strength session.
- Align your energy with your goals by setting small, purposeful milestones that motivate you.
REFLECT AND GROW:
- Is my body prepared for a life filled with joy? How does my current energy level reflect the life I want to live?
- Does my daily routine reflect a purposeful life? How can I make changes to create a more fulfilled day—not just life?
- What moments in my day make me feel the most energized and alive?
- What areas of my life feel energized, and where do I feel depleted? Why?
- How can I intentionally fuel my vitality?
- What slight shift could I make today to nurture my vitality and align it with my purpose?
- What activities or people bring me joy and amplify my energy, and how can I invite more of them into my life?
- What dream or goal would I pursue if I had boundless energy?
(4) Harmony: Balance Across Systems
WHAT: Harmony is the equilibrium that allows all parts of your life and body to work together seamlessly. Internally, it creates homeostasis, hormonal synergy, and gut-brain balance. Externally, it’s the integration of work, relationships, and self-care.
WHY: Harmony reduces friction in your life. Internally, it supports mood regulation, digestion, and overall wellness. Externally, it helps you live a balanced, fulfilling life.
BUILD:
- Internal: Use supplements that balance stress hormones and address the gut-brain connection. Take CBD to create an overall bodily homeostasis. Practice mindfulness.
- External: Set boundaries and seek environments that align with your values. Your peace and contentment are non-negotiable. Find places where you can be yourself and take the ‘mask’ off.
REFLECT AND GROW:
- What areas of my life feel out of sync, and what steps can I take to restore balance?
- Should I seek a functional medicine practitioner to do a full hormonal panel?
- Are there situations in which I don’t feel like myself?
- When do I feel at peace, and how can I work more of those environments into my life?
💜 NOVA Spark: True harmony is like a living constellation—each star shining in its own place with its own purpose, creating beauty through connection and flow. Balance isn’t perfection; it’s finding your rhythm and letting your unique light shine.
(5) Power: Tapping into Your Strength
(This is a long one as it fuels our agency, elements, and uniqueness as we step into communities and empowered life. It ensures we can sustain our ultimate multidimensional wellness.)
WHAT: Power is multifaceted—it’s the physical strength that carries you through life’s demands, the mental fortitude that keeps you focused, and the inner courage that propels you forward. True power is about understanding and owning your ability to shape your life. It’s not just about what your body can do but also about knowing you have the strength to make choices and face hard truths to uncover your unique path and the bravery to move in that. Internally, you can build physical and emotional resilience. Externally, it’s the confidence to assert yourself and take action.
WHY: Internally, power fuels your sense of agency and resilience. It allows you to say, “I can handle this,” when life challenges you. Externally, power radiates as confidence and purpose, influencing your relationships, decisions, and how you show up in the world. It empowers you to lead and make decisions confidently.
We all need strong bodies to sustain us, but true power comes when we build a strong mind and spirit alongside the physical. It’s the courage to ask tough questions, like:
- What’s holding me back?
- What habits or beliefs no longer serve me?
- What do I truly want versus what I’ve been told to do?
- Where do I want to direct my energy to create the life I envision?
Sometimes, stepping into your power requires facing these questions head-on, even if the answers feel uncomfortable. Because only when you embrace your truths can you harness the power that is authentically yours.
BUILD
- Physical: Incorporate movement that challenges and empowers your body, like strength training or yoga. Walk a few times a week. Include that support recovery and endurance.
- Mental: Practice resilience by stepping outside your comfort zone. Start small—a new skill, a bold conversation, or even a moment of stillness to face your thoughts.
- Inner Strength: Reflect on where you feel powerless and explore steps to reclaim your control. Reflect on where you have power and how to cultivate that power to help all areas of your life. Journaling or speaking with a trusted friend, mentor, family member, etc., can help you uncover your truths.
REFLECT AND GROW:
Illuminate Your Current Power:
- What challenges have I overcome that prove my resilience and strength?
- When was the last time I surprised myself with what I could achieve?
- What choices have I made recently that I’m proud of?
- How have I stood up for myself or others in a meaningful way?
- What is something I do effortlessly that others admire or rely on me for?
- How have I shown courage in the past, even when I didn’t feel ready?
Identify The Power You Want to Cultivate:
- What area of my life feels the most aligned with my strengths, and how can I build on it?
- What energy or confidence do I want to bring to my relationships, work, or personal goals?
- What bold step would I take right now if I knew I couldn't fail?
- What part of myself do I feel ready to step into or embrace more fully?
- What truth about my life or goals can I face with strength and determination?
- How would it feel to own the power of my choices entirely, no matter the outcome?
(6) Community: Connection as Support and Upliftment
WHAT: Community is the constellation of people, places, and environments that uplift, inspire, support, and nourish you. Internally, it’s about how connection nurtures your emotional and mental well-being. Externally, it’s about the role you play in the lives of others and the environments you help create. At NOVA, our community is more than just a network—it’s the NOVA(Verse), a space where every individual shines brightly and contributes to a collective belonging and upliftment.
WHY: Humans are inherently social beings. Internally, a community provides a sense of belonging and reduces feelings of isolation. Externally, it helps you see the bigger picture, reminding you that your journey is part of something greater. In the NOVA(Verse), every star matters, and together, we create a galaxy of shared strength, encouragement, and empowerment.
A supportive community doesn’t just catch you when you fall—it amplifies your victories and reminds you of your potential. It’s where you can feel safe being vulnerable, celebrated for your successes, and inspired to grow. It creates a ripple effect of positivity and love.
BUILD:
- Internal: Reflect on the connections that make you feel seen, valued, and supported. Strengthen your role in those relationships by showing up authentically.
- External: Engage in communities that align with your values and aspirations. Whether it’s joining a wellness group, supporting a friend, or actively participating in the NOVA(Verse), surround yourself with people who encourage your light to shine.
- Create Space: Foster environments of inclusion and connection, whether in your personal relationships, workplace, or broader community.
REFLECT AND GROW:
- Who makes me feel truly supported, and how can I nurture those connections?
- How can I contribute to the communities that have shaped me?
- What new connections or communities align with the person I’m becoming?
- Where can I build deeper bonds?
- How can I bring my unique energy into the NOVA(Verse) to inspire and support others?
💜 NOVA Spark: Every star belongs in the universe, and so do you. The NOVA(Verse) is your place to shine and draw strength from the brilliance of others. Together, we shine as bright as supernovae.
(7) Empowerment: Living Authentically in All of Your Elements
The Ultimate Element of Multidimensional Wellness
WHAT: Empowerment is the confidence and freedom to live as your most authentic self - the culmination of multidimensional wellness. It’s about embracing your unique elements—your strengths, passions, and vulnerabilities—and using them to live boldly and unapologetically. It is knowing and celebrating your worth at every moment. At NOVA, empowerment means stepping into your light and being audaciously original, no matter the season of life you’re in.
WHY: Life is full of transitions – what we call ‘explosions’ and ‘NOVA Moments’ - and empowerment ensures that you remain grounded in who you are, even as you evolve. Internally, it fosters self-awareness, confidence, and the courage to grow. It transforms challenges into opportunities. Externally, it inspires others to embrace their authenticity, creating a ripple effect of confidence and originality within your community and contributing to meaningful change.
Empowerment isn’t about perfection; it’s about owning your journey, celebrating your progress, and confidently stepping into every season of life. It’s about making choices that align with your truth, even when they challenge societal norms or expectations. In the NOVA(Verse), empowerment is the fuel that drives transformation, turning moments of uncertainty into opportunities to shine brighter.
BUILD:
- Embrace Authenticity: Reflect on what makes you uniquely you, and commit to living in alignment with your values and passions.
- Practice Audacity: Take bold steps toward your goals, even if they feel uncomfortable. Remember, originality often requires courage.
- Celebrate Growth: Recognize the beauty of your evolution, no matter how messy or non-linear it may feel.
- Lift Others: Empowerment grows when shared. Encourage others to embrace their authenticity and be unapologetically themselves.
REFLECT AND GROW:
- What does living authentically mean to me, and how am I honoring that today?
- What bold steps can I take to embrace my unique power and live audaciously original?
- How can I honor my own seasons of growth while supporting others in theirs?
- What is one area of my life where I can confidently say, “This is who I am,” and how can I amplify that?
💜 NOVA Spark: Empowerment is about stepping boldly into your light and inspiring others to do the same. In the NOVA(Verse), you are celebrated for who you are, and your unique brilliance becomes a beacon of originality and strength.
