EAP Wellness Wednesday

Wed Jan 11 04:51:16 UTC 2023

Dear Colleagues,

If you are like me, it can be pretty intimidating to start the new year
with the resolution to "exercise more." Well, what if you told yourself to
just "move" more? I recently came across this article on movement health
<https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/beauty/fitness-wellbeing/a42385380/movement-health/>
. Check it out and see if it inspires you toward wellness.

If you need some resources. Here are a few of my recent favorites that I am
trying out in 2023.

Yoga With Adriene <https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene> is fun and
good for beginners and those who are more experienced.

If you're up for slightly more rigorous movement, try Lucy's 7 Minute
Workouts <https://www.lwrfitness.com/lucyssevens/>. Pick one and see if you
can stick with it for  7 days (in a row)! That's called the 7-minute
workout challenge. What I like about these is that they are great for
people who really do not like to exercise. Just when I start to get bored
or mad because it hurts or because I'm starting to sweat, it's over, I
succeeded, and usually I can actually feel the endorphins start to flow.  I
bet you could even do it in your office or find a quiet corner and do it on
your lunch break!

If you are struggling with a mental health condition, stressful life event,
or just the stress of life itself, please consider talking to someone. In
fact, do it from the comfort of your own home and at a time that is best
for you. See below for a benefit that is free and available through NYSHIP.
And remember, it is NOT just for therapy - telehealth is available to you
for medical appointments too - for you and your children!

Try to be well and if you need help - just ask!

Thank you,

Kim McCoy Coleman, EAP Coordinator
