June 2015 is the seventh annual Employee Wellbeing Month. As you can probably guess, we’re pumped! As a wellness professional, you probably are too.
Unfortunately, not everyone is bought into the importance of focusing on wellness at work. Employee Wellbeing Month is designed to help educate, spread awareness and gain support for employee wellness. This year, you can follow along with the awesome Employee Wellbeing Month supporters by checking out #EWM15 on social media. Feel free to join the conversation with your own thoughts!
As a wellness professional, we know you’re chock full of great, interesting healthy ideas! In honor of Employee Wellbeing Month, we’d like to inform all of you about an excellent opportunity for you to not only be a part of, but to encourage wellness event participants to take part in too.
I Am Healthy 30-Day Challenge
Here at TotalWellness, we believe that everyone is healthy. Yes, everyone! While we could all use some improvements, it’s important to recognize that every single person has some healthy habits in his or her life.
The challenge is a great way for you to pick out the healthy habits in your life and encourage participants to do the same. By identifying these habits, you can start to make more. We’re encouraging 30 days of healthy choices because studies show it takes 21 to 30 days to break a habit. We’re in it for the long haul right along with you.
The whole concept is really very simple. We want to know what healthy habits you have. We also want you to know what healthy habits we have. You can use our ideas, we’ll use yours and you all better use each other’s, too!
So what do you do?
It’s simple. Take the #iamhealthy pledge by signing up here. Every day (for 30 days) share a picture or post how you are healthy that day on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. It can be anything from relaxing with some yoga, to playing with your kids, to cooking a healthy meal, or laughing with friends. Share your healthy habits via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #IAmHealthy so we can all share in your journey.
If you’re working our events, there is a blurb about this challenge in the results booklet. Be sure to point it out to event participants, and maybe help them brainstorm some ideas to get the challenge started.
Here’s an example so you can see a challenge post in action. Feel free to post other images (selfies are optional) or even just text.
Need a little inspiration? Check out our 30 day calendar that'll help you slash stress, boost happiness and improve your health. We'll also be with you along the way by posting tips on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.
If you get off track, or you start mid-month, or whatever the case may be, don’t worry! You can always hop right back on the wagon. Set your goal as 30 total days of #IAmHealthy posts. For extra support and new ideas, share it with your friends, and encourage wellness event participants as you go.
Take this awesome opportunity to celebrate Employee Wellbeing Month and develop some new healthy habits along the way. Start the I Am Healthy 30 Day Challenge today.
