May Well-Being Tips

• Therapy in the “Little Things.”  Puttering around the house may actually be useful because it occupies the mind, devoting fewer resources to things that worry us. If you struggle with structured forms of meditation, you may find that household tasks can help you focus on the here and now.
• Staff Shortages and Stress. The nursing shortage has affected physicians and other providers alike, causing workflow issues and additional challenges. This Advisory Board article offers five ways to support safe, effective staffing – and may even help to reduce your stress level.
• Not Just a Hike, Forest Bathing! Unlike a hike or guided nature walk, forest therapy sets a deliberate slow-pace, allowing individuals to experience the pleasures of nature through all their senses. Shinrin-yoku or “forest bathing”, from which forest therapy is adapted, is simple and easy to do on your own.
