Well-Being 101
How It Works:
Well-Being 101 is a six-week asynchronous program based in positive psychology and lifestyle as medicine. Program members will have access to online learning modules as well as an individual workbook, and will have the option to meet live online once per week. Throughout the program, members will learn how to apply the science of stress reduction and human flourishing to their own lives in order to establish balance and well-being. Members complete the program with a personalized well-being plan to integrate learnings into the rhythm of everyday life.
Approximate time commitment for the program: Two hours per week (one to three 15 minute videos, workbook reading/activities, short daily practices, and optional one hour live sessions).
Session Topics:
Week #1: Intro to Positive Psychology & Lifestyle as Medicine: What makes us happy? How can we move through our normal day-to-day life in a way that promotes flourishing?
Week #2: Positive Psychology & Cognitive Behavioral Techniques: Learn about our brains, how we can influence them to increase positive emotions and become more resilient in the face of stress, anxiety, and even depression.
Week #3: Mindfulness & Meditation: Dive deep into what science has to say about that voice in your head and how to respond rather than simply react to life’s challenges.
Week #4: Movement & Sleep: Learn the difference between exercise and physical activity and how you can use both to decrease stress and increase well-being and choose specific exercises to help to balance your emotions. Then we will lay the foundation for our mood and energy by learning how to optimize our sleep.
Week #5: Nutrition: During our nutrition section we will be introduced to the idea of supporting our mood and energy by fueling our bodies and brains well.
Week #6: Personalized Well-Being Plan: Craft a personalized well-being plan using your learnings from this program and gain tips and tricks for sustainable behavior change and habit formation.
