Wellness Wednesdays: November Challenge
It is hard to believe that October is almost over! Thank you for your continued interest in our Wellness Wednesday topics. Today we invite you to participate in a 30-Day November Challenge.
What is the 30-Day November Challenge?
This challenge promotes healthy lifestyle changes. Complete 30 minutes of planned physical activity and 30 minutes of other wellness activities three to four times a week.
Other activities may include stretching, yoga, prayer, unplugged quality time, decluttering and organizing your space, doing something you enjoy, making a healthy meal, improving your sleep hygiene, getting a foot massage, etc.
Doing something nice for your body promotes more positive self-talk, which makes you feel better holistically. A bonus is that self-care is accessible and not a major time commitment for our busy days.
How does it work?
Log in your hours and basic information about your activities on your calendar or this Google Form from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30 and submit it by Dec. 4 for a prize draw. Depending on participation, we plan to have several prizes. Let us know if you are interested here.
Any questions? Contact Aga Luptak (aluptak@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2181).
Please remember to stay hydrated, wear your mask, and keep your six feet of distance if you are in a public space.
Expanding on last week’s topic:
We would also like to expand on the topic of emotional eating that we raised last week. Emotional eating is a complex term and can be a real challenge for some of us. Not every solution or advice may work for everyone. Therefore, we would like to provide you with more resources today, especially if you feel that you might be struggling in that area.
If you need assistance with a possible eating disorder, please contact your healthcare provider. You are also welcome to find out more about the topic on this website, which has both support groups for individuals dealing with eating disorders, as well as a screening tool to start conversations with healthcare providers and a grocery buddies support system to help those who feel anxiety when grocery shopping.
Be well and let us know if there any specific topics you need more information about.
