Events
Our wellness events can help you prioritise your health and wellbeing. Check out some of the events you can attend this month:
New year wellbeing ideas
To help improve your wellbeing, try to:
- take a digital detox – turn off the electronics for a weekend
- set a micro-goal – make your plans realistic, but stay flexible
- drop the all or nothing thinking – try not to deal in absolutes
- find your recharge space and use it
- make an effort to connect (or reconnect) with others.
Sleep well in 2021
To get better sleep this year, try to:
- keep the bedroom cool – between 15-19 degrees
- set up a night time wind down routine
- be regular – try to go to sleep and get up at the same time
- bring your bedtime forward in 15 minute lots
- dim the lights and turn off the electronics.
