Wellness means paying attention to our physical and emotional states, our social connections and our support systems. It means stepping away from the computer to take a walk around the block or planning an outdoor outing on the weekend. It could look like making space for an online yoga class or downloading a meditation app to use on a daily basis. It could be finding a new recipe for Monday night dinner or sitting down for a phone call with your best friend. It might be making an appointment with your doctor for a physical or finding a fitness coach.
In short, it’s about finding a balance of your physical and mental well-being and your work life. It’s not so much an end goal, but rather small daily changes to your lifestyle.
The upside? Finding a little balance can help with your stress and anxiety and can give you the resiliency you need to handle whatever else life is going to bring.
Explore resources from Health Services, nutrition resources, and activities like the Lab's running club.
