Healthy Life Survey 2020 is now open! (60 PATHpoints in October!)

 

The Healthy Life Survey is now open on PATH to give you an opportunity to assess your health using VEHI's personalized survey. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. When you have finished, you can see your results which highlight where your wellness is going well, and note areas you may want to work on. If you have been doing the survey each year, you can compare to see where you've improved.

You will also receive 50 PATHpoints! And, if you finish by October 31, you will receive an additional 10 points (that's 60 points toward the 200 needed for an LL Bean gift card!)

If you are new and do not know what PATH is, go see a Wellness leader.

Helpful hints for online classes: Please make sure you have downloaded Zoom to your computer.  I will open the zoom meeting about 10 minutes before class starts to troubleshoot any electronic assistance needed.  Your computer will be muted upon entering the meeting, so un-mute it if you have any questions.  Feel free to use your own music during classes once class begins.

Set up your yoga space before the meeting.  Be sure you have your mat or blanket space set, clear your area to allow for reaching arms up and around you, bring any props you like to use.  For restorative class: be creative - blankets, pillows, yoga strap (scarf/belt/dog leash), and couch cushions can be helpful but not necessary.

In light,

Lucy

Weekly Wellness Tip (from Nan Johnson)

Hello friends!

One thing I've heard from many staff members is that you are finding it hard to remember things. I know I am! The stress we've been living under during the pandemic can make it more difficult to remember things. Then add on all the additional responsibilities at school, we are juggling a lot! I've even heard a podcast all about it... but I can't remember which one it was! :-)

I would be completely lost without my reminder app. I used to use the app that came with my Iphone, but last year I downloaded a new one: Todoist: https://todoist.com/

Here is the link for it in the app store for Iphone 

Here is the link for the app in Google Play

I use the free version but there is also a paid version. I like the ease of setting up repeated reminders. And of course crossing off a completed task makes me feel like I've accomplished something. The first task for every school day is to take my temp and fill out the health survey.

Let me know if you give the app a try and feel free to share with me any tricks you use to help remember all the things you do every day! 

And also don't forget about the flu shot clinic! (October 6 and October 8)

Stay well!

Nan
