This weeks' Wellness Theme: Stay Active & Creative

Long-term health & wellness is a goal for most people, and building a sustainable wellness routine is key to longevity...but so is variety. We want to participate in wellness activities that make us feel good (exercise, meditation, eating healthy, etc), but doing the same thing continuously can get boring, and lead to taking days off, and maybe event falling off the wellness wagon. By staying creative with a variety of activities, we can sustain our excitement about improving our mental and physical well-being. It's also very import to keep our wellness routines manageable so they aren't competing with life's other priorities. That's why we have a variety of wellness videos with varying lengths from 5 - 60 minutes including breathwork, chair yoga, meditation, traditional yoga, workouts, and even foam rolling! (https://bcwellnessplus.org/videos) Adding variety to our wellness journeys not only keeps us excited to learn more, it also provides a well-rounded approach to supporting different aspects of our mental and physical health. So try something new, and feel good about every step you take to health and wellness.

This week's wellness theme: Keep Trying, Keep Smiling
Have you ever thought of working out, doing yoga, meditating, or eating healthy as fun and enjoyable? I imagine most people would say no to that question. What if we had the ability to truly enjoy going for a jog, holding a challenging yoga pose, saying no to the ice cream sundae, etc. That may be possible if we can stop taking ourselves too seriously. Our minds are great at building up challenging situations and thinking about them over and over. For instance, when we're putting on our running shoes, getting our yoga mats out, saying no to the ice cream, etc our minds usually tell us that this is no fun! To break the negative mindset, all we have to do is to take a step back, laugh at ourselves for being a little crazy, and then keep going. We don't have to be perfect, but by continually trying to improve ourselves we will slowly but surely train our minds to enjoy doing things that aren't so "fun". So just keep trying, don't take yourself too seriously, and try your best to laugh at how crazy our minds can be.

It's Wellness Wednesday, and we've got another yoga class that will help you stay healthy, happy, and focused. This is an 18 minute beginner yoga class that focuses on standing balance poses. This class goes well with this week's wellness theme of "Filling your Daily Tasks with Delight", as we have fun with standing balances and don't take ourselves too seriously. It should bring some joy, focus, and fun into your day, so why not give it a try. It's a wonderful class for beginners and experienced practitioners who want to revisit the fundamentals. Happy Wellness Wednesday!
