ROLE OF IMMUNITY: EDUCATIONAL EMAIL SERIES
When the immune system is functioning properly, we don’t even notice its existence. Have you ever considered what life would be like without an immune system? For starters, we would have no way to defend ourselves against disease-causing germs.
To understand not only what the immune system does, but how it works, you first need to learn about the individual components of this complex mechanism. To help, I’ve created an educational email series on The Role of Immunity!
Opt-in to learn about different parts of your immune system, and how to ensure optimal functioning of it all. Join me to learn some expert tips to help improve your immune wellness!
IN THE MOOD FOR GRATITUDE
We’re headed straight into the busy holiday season where it’s easy to let the hustle and bustle and stress take over our minds and lives, but not this time!
If you’re like me and you’re so over letting the holidays overwhelm and the winter’s blues call the shots until New Year’s, I have something special for you!
All November long in the private online Healthy You community we’re getting hyper-focused on thankfulness! Every day we’ll be getting In the Mood for Gratitude for just about anything you can think of! Our past, present, future, neighbors, nature, bodies, minds, ANY and ALL the things!
You’ll be surrounded by other people who also want to develop a daily habit of gratitude, take care of their whole self, and do it all in a supportive community where you’ll know you belong. If this is speaking to you, click Join.
LIVE WELL. WORK WELL. NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER
This month's newsletter talks about the upcoming cold and flu season and how we can protect ourselves from getting sick. One of those ways is to get adequate sleep to keep your immune system strong. We will discuss the importance of a good night's sleep this month. Are you interested in meal prepping? This newsletter provides a beginner's guide to meal prepping and shares a delicious recipe for Broccoli Potato Soup.
PREVENTING BURNOUT AND MANAGING STRESS
Most people have days when they feel stressed and a bit overwhelmed with life, but what about when you feel total
exhaustion, no motivation, disengaged, hopeless, and a complete lack of care? You may be experiencing burnout, especially if you feel this way more days than not. Stress isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and it can help motivate us to act, but prolonged stress can take its toll. It’s important to learn how to balance between times of higher stress and times of relaxation. Read this month's EAP Connection newsletter to learn more.
JUST FOR YOU!
The Neenah Joint School District values your wellbeing and provides many services and programs for its staff. Check out the ways in which we bring health and wellness to YOU!
NJSD FITNESS ROOMS
Free-access fitness facilities
Neenah High School, Horace Mann Middle School, and Shattuck Middle School have fitness facilities that are free and available to staff members at any time. Email Brooke Chaltry for fob access to the buildings and the NHS fitness room. Contact building custodians at the middle schools for key access to the fitness rooms.
FITNESS VIDEOS
Fitting exercise into your day
You don't need hours in a day to devote to physical activity. We are all busy and may only have a quick 10 or 15-minute break to be active. Aside from walking the halls, you also could do a quick video. Follow the link for short and longer videos to use depending on the time you have. It's not about FINDING time, it's about MAKING time and making movement a priority. NJSD staff now have access to the YMCA online fitness library as well. Check it all out by clicking the link below.
MINDFULNESS
Take time for self-care
"Mindfulness is being aware of yourself, others, and your surroundings in the moment. When consciously and kindly focusing awareness on life as it unfolds minute by precious minute, you are better able to savor each experience. Also, being closely attentive gives you the opportunity to change unwise or painful feelings and responses quickly. In fact, being truly present in a mindful way is an excellent stress reducer and, because of that, can be seen as consciousness conditioning, a strengthening workout for body, mind, heart, and spirit"-Sue Thoele
RECIPES
Try these easy, healthy recipes!
We are what we eat, and we want to be healthy, strong individuals. I know it can be overwhelming to think of healthy ways to feed our families, especially those picky eaters, but try these family-friendly recipes, which are sure to please. Healthy living starts at home. Try having your son/daughter/loved one help you in the kitchen and make some memories!
WELLNESS CLASSES
Bringing Fitness to You
