Well-being is best defined as part of a diverse and interconnected component of wellness that includes mental, physical, social and environmental well-being.
Module 1
The Science of Wellbeing
The science of well-being has also shown us that our well-being is like the fingerprints on our hands. While we all have it, what maintains and improves our well-being is unique to each of us. What works for one person doesn’t always work well for the next. So improving our well-being, which is the goal of this program, involves our emotional intelligence, and in particular the competency of emotional self-awareness. You are said to have good levels of well-being if you typically feel confident and capable in who you are; if you have positive relationships with others and social satisfaction; have physical vitality; and a sense of accomplishment and personal fulfillment in life. How well we perceive, understand and respond to emotions, within ourselves and others, is central to our well-being. The research on emotional intelligence consistently shows a positive correlation with well-being, as we improve our emotional intelligence our well-being improves with it.
- Explore the science of emotions and how we can use our emotional self- awareness to better gauge our well-being and how improvement strategies we adopt are working for us
- Analyze what an improvement in our own well-being might mean to us
- Assess and share what strategies we are currently using to maintain our well- being
- Determine how we can make new strategies stick with action plans built around the science of behavior change.
Module 2
Physical & Environmental Strategies
Physical well-being strategies by their very nature involve things like improving our sleep, diet and exercise. Research in this area has shown that making improvements in our physical well-being not only helps us live longer, it can also make us feel happier, think clearer and improve the quality of our relationships. Environmental well-being strategies involve not only the actual spaces or physical environment we most often find ourselves in, but also the broader environment we make for ourselves. This includes things like how long we work, what activities we do and how much time we spend on them. Like physical well-being strategies, improvements in our environmental well-being can also improve our mental, social and physical well-being.
- Explore the science of forming new habits
- Determine something new we can do around either our sleep, diet or exercise to boost our physical well-being, and
- Identify how we could improve our physical environmental and structure a well-being day.
Module 3
Improving Wellbeing With Thinking Strategies
Thinking strategies by their very nature involve things like reading and learning new things; planning and definitional work; and engaging in perspective taking and sense-making activities. These well-being strategies can not only help us think clearer and feel better, they can also improve the other areas of our well-being including our physical, social and environmental well-being which are all interrelated and contribute to each other.
- Create boundaries
- Perspective taking and sense making ideas
- Emotional Agility
Module 4
Improving Wellbeing With Social Strategies
Having social well-being means having a sense of belonging and meaningful positive relationships with others. We build our social well-being through regular contact with other people including friends, family, neighbors and co-workers and by using good interpersonal skills associated with emotional intelligence.
- Explore the things we can do to boost the quality of your day-to-day social interactions
- Identify a close personal relationship you could improve and the actions you could take to do so
- Explore a coaching model for helping others respond to their challenging situations effectively
