Week 5 wellness activity

Last week, we talked about our thinking processes being one component of mental health and wellness. This week's activity, our final one for fall 2009, is a thinking assessment.

Week 5 (Monday, Nov 30 to Sunday, Dec 6)
Thinking Assessment
(score yourself for each statement, 1 would indicate very low while 5 would indicate very high)
· How creative are you in seeing new options? 1 2 3 4 5
· How good is your memory? 1 2 3 4 5
· How curious are you? 1 2 3 4 5

Learning is a lifelong process, so if you are interested in staying mentally healthy, here are some strategies to consider:
· Keep your thinking cap on. Nourish your mind. Read books. Explore and experiment.
· Accept and meet new challenges willingly. Be curious. Make change an adventure.
· Control your energy output. Say no sometimes. Save some energy for yourself.
· Cultivate creativity. Try something new. Use your imagination.


The Adobe Connect session for this week is on Work and Life Balance. Please join us Tuesday, Dec 1 at noon. You will receive the information via email on Tuesday morning.
