Food is a pleasure for most of us and it is the center of most activities in our lives.

Weaving Wellbeing into Our Lives
The five universal, interconnected elements of career, social, financial, physical, and community wellbeing are the pillars that can help a person achieve a greater sense of wellbeing in his or her personal and professional life. This holistic view of what contributes to wellbeing over a lifetime is based on a Gallup comprehensive global study of more than 150 countries worldwide, representing 98% of the world’s population. Individuals with high wellbeing are more likely to thrive, no matter who they are or where they live. This class will discuss the five elements of wellbeing in detail, how each can be measured, and provide recommendations for boosting each element.

About the Wellness Wheel
This Wellness Wheel is a representation that shows how all aspects of our lives can impact our overall wellness at any given time. For example, giving all of our energy to our work can cause our mental, physical and spiritual health to suffer, and will create imbalance in our “wheel.” In order to make overall wellness a priority and to create a balanced “wheel,” it is our objective as an organization to provide tools that can support you in all areas of your life.

Is participation mandatory?
No, participation is completely voluntary.

What kind of activities can we do?
- RDOs will have a resource kit of ideas to discuss with their teams.
- Any kind of movement would count. In reality, some of your practices may already be doing things that support physical and mental wellness, either intentionally or not.
- After April 4th, resources will also be posted on the microsite and sent via email to registrants.
How do we show our participation and communicate during the event?
Once you have registered on the microsite, you can submit a picture (AKA selfie) to the Microsite. We will also have a HVP email specific for the event: [email protected]
If I have an idea for a team activity who should I talk to?
