Healthy Healers Course

1.  Wellness Wheel Activity

Go back to the Wellness Wheel you did in your Healthy Healers folder (you did this in the pre-course). Review the activities you are doing now to maintain wellness and balance in the physical, mental/emotional, social, and spiritual areas. Are you doing different activities now, compared to a month ago?

In your e-journal:
• Describe any changes you have made or new ideas or exercises you are trying.
• Have you noticed any benefits with your stress levels, enjoyment of work, or in your relationships? if so please describe.

2.   Gratitude Exercises

Gratitude Exercise
For at least one week, practice the five steps below. Decide how you want to record your reflections: in a spiral notebook, on your computer, or on a note pad; whatever is easiest for you.
1. On a post-it note, write three new things you are grateful for each day. 
2. Describe a positive experience you had over the past 24 hours.
3. Exercise for 10 minutes a day (this could be walking to and from work).
4. Sit quietly focusing on your breath going in and out for 2 minutes, or meditate.
5. Write one quick email or note first thing in the morning, thanking or praising a coworker or someone you work with.

At the end of the week, describe your experience with your learning partner. Was it hard? Easy? What steps did you like or not like? Are you planning to continue any of the steps after the week is over? We will discuss this exercise during our class together.

3.  Watch the Sam Berns video

After you watch the video, think about how you can apply the video to your own life, then share your experience with your learning partner. Be prepared to give your learning partner feedback on their reflection.  Agree what to share with everyone during the class.
