Taking Care of You - Body, Mind & Spirit

Good intentions to be more physically active, to eat better or to take other steps toward healthier living can be pushed out of reach by all the demands on your time and attention. You may overextend yourself trying to meet the needs of others, to face daily responsibilities or to live up to expectations. These demands can lead to feeling stressed out, worn out and burned out.

Taking Care of You - Body, Mind & Spirit is a six-session program that offers practical, effective strategies and experiences to help you deal with the challenges in your life. Managing life’s demands in a healthy way allows you to take better care of yourself and to improve your overall health. Each week you will explore topics through small group discussion, self-reflection and activities.

Topics

Introduction and program overview
Dimensions of wellness and mind-body connection
Happiness and learning to practice self-care
Living in the moment
Freeing yourself from the constraints of time
Dealing with life challenges
Coping with stressful situations you can't control
What have you changed?

Past participant quotes

“Made me realize I am not responsible for doing everything. I can say no. I need to relax and find ways to play more.”

“It helps me focus on what matters. It helped me think about relaxing at points through the day to relieve muscle tension.”

“It has made me look at life in general in a much more positive way. It has made me look at others in a different way.”
