August is National Wellness Month: Taking Care of Our Minds and Bodies

This article is brought to you by our partners at Learn to Live. Learn to Live is a free wellness and mental health service offered to all Pension Fund members who are active ministers and their household members (spouse/QDP and children) over the age of 13. Learn more on our Learn to Live page.

Wellness means caring for our emotional and physical health to stay healthy and happy. Eating healthy foods gives us the nutrients we need to grow, stay strong and fight off sickness. Taking care of our minds is just as important. We can handle challenges better when managing and understanding our emotions. Overall, maintaining both mind and body wellness is the foundation for a happy, productive, and meaningful life.

Here are five ways you can help improve your well-being:

  • Stay active: Engage in exercise you enjoy. This could include riding a bike, dancing, or playing a sport. Aim for 60 minutes of exercise every day to keep your body strong and healthy but even if you can’t get 60 minutes, the goal is to just get your body moving more frequently – even 20 to 30 minutes of walking a day is a great place to start!
  • Eat healthy: Make healthy food choices by including fruits and vegetables. Try to drink water instead of sweet drinks.
  • Get enough sleep: Have a regular sleep schedule. A good night’s sleep allows our minds and bodies to rest, recover and rejuvenate so we’re ready for the day ahead.
  • Practice self-care: Take time for yourself each day to do things that make you feel good. It could be spending time in nature, reading a book, or engaging in a creative hobby.
  • Spend time with people: Having positive and supportive relationships can help your overall wellness. Spending time with friends and family can boost your mood and provide a sense of belonging.

Remember, wellness is about taking care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. It is important to find what works best for you and make positive choices to support your well-being.

We can help.

Learn to Live offers mental health programs to support your emotional well-being. You can start a self-paced digital program for Stress, Anxiety & Worry; Depression; Social Anxiety; Insomnia, Panic, or Substance Use or begin our Resilience program to find new ways to nurture your mental and physical well-being.

Agosto es El Mes Nacional del Bienestar: Cuidando Nuestras Mentes y Cuerpos

Este artículo es presentado por nuestros socios de Learn to Live. Learn to Live es un servicio gratuito de bienestar y salud mental que se ofrece a todos los miembros de Pension Fund que son pastores activos y los miembros de su hogar (cónyuge e hijos) mayores de 13 años. Obtenga más información en nuestra página Learn to Live.

Bienestar significa cuidar nuestra salud emocional y física para mantenerse saludable y feliz. Comer alimentos saludables nos brinda los nutrientes que necesitamos para crecer, mantenernos fuertes y combatir las enfermedades. Cuidar nuestras mentes es igual de importante. Podemos manejar mejor los desafíos cuando manejamos y comprendemos nuestras emociones. En general, mantener el bienestar de la mente y el cuerpo es la base para una vida feliz, productiva y significativa.

Aquí hay cinco maneras en que puede ayudar a mejorar su bienestar:

  • Manténgase activo: Involúcrese en ejercicio que disfrute. Esto podría incluir andar en bicicleta, bailar o practicar un deporte. Trate de hacer 60 minutos de ejercicio todos los días para mantener su cuerpo fuerte y saludable, pero incluso si no puede hacer 60 minutos, el objetivo es hacer que su cuerpo se mueva con más frecuencia; ¡incluso caminar de 20 a 30 minutos al día es un excelente lugar para empezar!

  • Coma saludable: Elija alimentos saludables incluyendo frutas y verduras. Trate de beber agua en lugar de bebidas dulces.

  • Duerma lo suficiente: Tenga un horario de dormir regular. Una buena noche de sueño permite que nuestras mentes y cuerpos descansen, se recuperen y se rejuvenezcan para que estemos listos para el día que tenemos por delante.
  • Practique el cuidado personal: Tome un tiempo para usted todos los días y haga cosas que le hagan sentir bien. Podría ser pasar tiempo en la naturaleza, leer un libro o participar en un pasatiempo creativo.

  • Pase tiempo con los demás: Tener relaciones positivas y de apoyo puede ayudar a su bienestar general. Pasar tiempo con amigos y familiares puede mejorar su estado de ánimo y brindarle un sentido de pertenencia.

Recuerde, el bienestar se trata de cuidar su salud física, mental y emocional.. Es importante encontrar lo que funciona mejor para usted y tomar decisiones positivas para apoyar su bienestar.

Podemos ayudar.

Learn to Live ofrece programas de salud mental para apoyar su bienestar emocional. Puede iniciar un programa digital a su propio ritmo para el Estrés, cuidar su salud física, mental y emocional.; Depresión; Ansiedad Social; Insomnio, Pánico o Uso de Sustancias o comience nuestro Programa de Resiliencia para encontrar nuevas formas de nutrir su bienestar mental y físico.
