COMING UP ON HEALTH, WELL-BEING & HAPPINESS

Monthly Theme:
In January 2022, Healthy Habits = Good Vibes
|
|
Positive Emotions are a key driver for flourishing. Taking advantage of the new year, new term and beginning to many masters, we want to promote positive vibes as a way to get the year started well, to ward off the the post holiday season blues, and also promote the importance of habit-creation to stay on track with our intentions. We appreciate that students can struggle to find balance and we want to support our community in creating healthy habits around nutrition, sleep and exercise and how taking care of one self, and one another, feels good and can have a positive impact on our lives and community!

In this lecture, Dr. Georgette Daoud de Daoud will review the impact that nutrition and environmental factors have on our health and discuss the following topics 1) why nutrition is important for our health, 2) which nutrients should we consume, 3) how to cook our food and 4) what happens to our health if our nutrition is not adequate.

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
Book by James Nestor
|
|
Breathing is an essential part of human life and it turns out we are doing it wrong. Interesting book on the importance of learning to breathe well for our health and well-being. We are seeing an increase in respiratory diseases: asthma, bronchitis, sleep apnea, snoring... breathing correctly can help us to avoid it. In addition, learning to breathe with a mask on, always through the nose, can prevent us from developing dental caries. In the final section, breathing techniques are suggested.

They understood that the deliberate practice of writing had significant benefits to their creativity, self-awareness, memory, productivity and wellbeing.”

We all have goals… Yet, most of us struggle to achieve our goals. A Commitment Contract is a binding agreement you sign with yourself to ensure that you follow through with your intentions—and it does this by utilizing the psychological power of loss aversion and accountability to drive behavior change.
