The Empowering Wellness Initiative focuses on fast, simple, things people can do to improve their own physical and mental health; and to decrease stress and improve coping.

Is this for me/us? Do any of these questions ring true for you or your employees?

Do you want to improve your physical and/or mental health?

  • Would you like to decrease tension, pain, depression, anger, and/or anxiety?
  • Would you like to be able to incorporate exercise into your busy work day or with your kids?
  • Would you like to feel more at peace, gratitude, and calm?

Are the needs of your family and/or work limiting your ability to address your own self-care, wellness, and to find balance?

  • Would you like to feel at peace with your decision to set personal and professional boundaries?
  • Would you like permission and accountability to do simple things to care of yourself, so you can better meet the needs of your work and family?

Are you feeling overwhelmed and unproductive?

  • Would you like help incorporating simple, easy, convenient self-care and wellness activities into your daily routine?
  • Would you like to feel more confident in your ability to support your children and meet their needs?
  • Would you like your mind to be clearer?
  • Would you like to be able to focus on the immediate task at hand?

Want a boost in morale and/or health?

  • Would you like to be able to focus on opportunities and positive experiences?
  • Would you like more energy?
  • Would you like your team/family to know that you honestly care about them and their well-being?

Are you feeling the negativity, uncertainty, or weight of this pandemic?

  • Would you like to feel more gratitude and hopeful?
  • Would you like to be able to enjoy the simple things in life?

If so, this initiative was designed with you in mind, specifically:

  • Anyone who wants to improve their physical and/or mental health or overall wellness
  • Anyone who is experiencing high levels of stress or anxiety at this time
  • Parents working from home with children at home

  • People with chronic health issues such as Parkinson’s or diabetes

Four words to describe what we are offering with this initiative:

  • Resources – High quality and diverse
  • Variety – Options to address wellness of the mind, body, and spirit in a variety of formats to meet the needs of multiple personality and learning styles
  • Flexibility – Use the components of the program that work best for you on your own schedule
  • Accountability – By paying for the program you are more likely to do it. By tracking your activities or having an accountability partner you are more likely to actively engage.

With your registration you receive access to four different ways to participate.

Pick and choose any or all formats that are right for you:

  • Wellness videos
  • Newsletters
  • Wellness tracking and goal setting
  • Facebook group

What is included in these options?

  • Access to a closed Facebook group to:
    • Get support and build your wellness community
    • Find accountability partners
    • Celebrate self-care successes
    • Share and find self-care resources

Why do this?

  • Most importantly: to improve and maintain your wellness and self-care habits to be able to do and enjoy all the things you love
  • You are welcome to participate at your own level
    • If you only have time to check out newsletter resources or Facebook posts that’s ok
    • If you only want to track wellness activities that’s ok
    • If you want to go all out and do everything that’s ok too!

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • They say it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. We could all use a little buffer/grace time right now, so we added a few days with membership on a per month basis.
  • Why log our self-care and wellness activities or set weekly goals? Studies show that if you write things down that you are MUCH more likely to do them and to make healthy choices and setting goals helps to get what you want out of the experience and achieve the change you want.
  • Be it stress or eustress (don’t know what this is, sign up and we will teach you!) EVERYONE is dealing with stress in some form right now due to COVID-19; financial uncertainties; increase/decrease in work; and/or the unrest, injustice, and instability in our communities. This program is designed to provide resources to help manage stress and build healthy wellness and self-care strategies. High levels of stress are associated with decreased immune function. Improving your self-care strategies is one way to help improve your immune functioning!
  • Why is there a fee for this wellness challenge? If you pay to participate in something you are more likely to actively engage on a regular basis.

How much does it cost?

  • Living Spirit Therapy Services LLC is committed to addressing inequity and justice in our community. We are offering one month free access for our Empowering Wellness Initiative for people from historically marginalized communities. If you have the means for paid registration and choose to do so, your investment helps us provide music therapy services for those who are not able to afford them.
  • $50 registration per individual
  • $200 for whole team/organization access
