We’re hosting a Summer Wellness Series where you are invited to explore your well-being
and build healthy habits that will support you in your doctoral journey.
It’s really about building connection + community around this important topic of well-being and helping you feel good on a daily basis so that you can do the important work you are doing and bring your voice to the table - we need you to THRIVE.
The Summer Wellness Series is designed to be flexible - you can hook in any time.
Join the portal and sign up under “resources” - today!
See the summer flow below - would love to have you join.
week one - Our why
Explore reasons behind why you are doing what you are doing. Our “why” forms the basis of our being, gives us focus and reminds us of the big picture. This first step establishing our why is an important one.
week two - Declaring + Defining
Begin the process of feeling comfortable declaring yourself a priority. So many of our students come from backgrounds where self-care and prioritizing health and wellness just isn’t a thing. Recognizing it’s okay to put yourself on your own plate is critical.
Beginning to define what well-being means is the next step. It’s an ever-evolving process, but gaining clarity early on and starting with the basics sets a solid foundation.
week three - taking stock
Self-awareness forms the basis of well-being. Explore your natural tendencies and current habits. Getting a baseline read on how you tend to operate on a daily basis will inform better choices going forward. Learn to work within your natural tendencies and get clear on which habits are supporting and which habits are hindering your well-being. We perform this exercise without judgement, but with curiosity.
week four - connecting the dots
Build on the previous week by gathering data on how they feel as a result of your key habits. The goal is to continue growing self-awareness and connecting the dots between how your choices and behavior impact how you feel on a daily basis.
week five - setting our intention
Self-awareness coupled with intention is powerful. Set an intention for your well-being to guide your efforts this summer and beyond. Envisioning your well-being and becoming excited to take small action steps toward being well is really the goal.
week six - take action
The final three weeks will be a time for you to experiment with setting and achieving small weekly wellness goals. Learn about the science behind habit formation and develop a growth mindset when it comes to your well-being.
week seven - take action
Report findings from last week and formulate a wellness goal for this week. Take part in group discussions facilitated to share insights and encouragement.
week eight - wrap up
Report findings from last week and formulate a wellness goal for this week. Craft a well-being action plan to support yourself going forward based on what you learned this summer.
Remain a part of the Wellness Portal and the 365 Mindful Days community to continue receiving support and encouragement throughout the academic year and beyond!
