Put A Spring in Your Step!

Time to get your Spring game on! Days are lengthening, flowers are beginning to bloom and we can all look forward
to spending more time in nature and the great outdoors.
Plus, with the promise that vaccines offer for a safer,
healthier life, there’s optimism in the air! Why not use the spring season to mimic nature and turn over a new leaf?
Your EAP benefits and services can help.

Here are just a few of the ways to put a spring in your step:

• Get outside and get fit: Adults need a minimum 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise to stay healthy, or half that for vigorous activities. Adding muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week boosts the benefits. Some ideas for moderate impact activities that will get you outdoors include gardening, brisk walking, doubles tennis, canoeing, easy biking, softball and mowing the lawn. High impact activities include hiking, vigorous biking, swimming laps, jogging, running, wheelchair sprinting, soccer, volleyball and basketball. Check your EAP online Wellness Center for more ideas.
• One-to-one Coaching for your health:  If you want to get serious about toning up those muscles and getting back in shape, why not get help from a pro?  Get one-to-one telephonic counseling with a certified Wellness Coach for Fitness, Nutrition, Stress Management, Beginning Yoga, and more.
• Learn something new: Don’t just tone up that body, keep your mind mentally sharp and fit, too. Challenge yourself with learning something new. Explore 8,000+ online courses to find ways to improve both personally and professionally, or just for the fun of learning!
• Talk to a counselor: One in 5 people will experience a mental illness during their lifetime. May is Mental Health Month, a good time to pick up the phone to talk to one of your EAP counselors to unload any worries or problems that may concern you.
