Well-Being: Beyond Just Coping

Strive for balance. Learn to balance your physical body, your emotional body, your mental body and your spiritual body. Think of each one contributing 25% to your whole balanced state.

How do you know if you are out of balance?
Poor sleep? Shallow breathing? Tight muscles? Poor posture?	Irritable behavior? Constant fatigue? Poor diet? No exercise?

The Pogust Group Well-Being Series

The Pogust Group offers a five-part series. Each one is designed for 1½ hours. The first session is an introduction, with each of the following four centered on balancing one of your bodies.

Each session uses a four-step process to structure a balance:

Set intentions.
Self assess.
Select options.
Survey progress.

There's a lot of talk right now about bringing social/emotional learning into classrooms. Educators need to be in balance themselves before they can effectively interact with the complexity of needs showcased in today's schools. This series is a great addition to a school's wellness program.
