The presentation from yesterday's Work and Life Balance lunch and learn session is posted at
S: SCRegion/Camden/Melissa/Lunch and Learn Presentations
Recap:
Keeping a healthy balance involves 3 aspects:
Self-care (personal health and wellness)
Others-care (family, friends, relationships)
Meaningful work (contributing to society, challenging, stimulating work)
Most of us don't ignore one of those things, but we try to do too much. This causes us distress, rather than peace.
It's a challenge to find a healthy balance, but we need to see our limits to do this properly. We cannot always think of just ourselves, or always say yes to others.
Circle Balance Activity
Draw a circle and divide into 3 segments, one for each of the healthy balance aspects. Draw each segment based on how much time and energy you put into the following: self-care, others-care, meaningful work. Next, divide the self-care section into how much time and energy you put into physical, mental, relational, and spiritual with a dotted line. Divide the others-care into family, friends, and reaching out. Divide the meaningful work into job and service to other causes.
This will help you see how you are balancing yourself between those 3 things.
Finding a healthy balance is an ongoing process and you must decide on it, no one else can decide for you.
We all have limits and must recognize those limits in order to keep a healthy balance. We should accept our limits, set priorities, make clear commitments to keep ourselves healthy.
Planning Guide - To Keep a Healthy Balance
Step 1: Clarify your values
◦What is your purpose in life, what are your goals?
Step 2: Set healthy balance goals
◦Use the circle exercise again to define ideal balance, your goals
Step 3: Rebalance regularly
◦Keep testing until you find what works well for you, adjust and revise until you find a style for you
Regarding rebalancing:
The goal is balance, every small change you make will help lead to a healthy balance. Perfect adjustment is never possible. Imbalance will not ruin you, as long as it doesn’t remain out of line for too long. Balance is an activity we engage in over and over again, as we make corrections throughout life.
That will be the last lunch and learn presentation for fall 2009. Look for more information coming out for the spring wellness activities!

Self-esteem recap
The powerpoint for today's Adobe Connect session is on the share drive at S: SC Region/Camden/Melissa/Lunch and Learn Presentations
Summary:
Self-esteem is our self-worth or personal value. It's also how we evaluate ourselves. Those with positive self-esteem feel good about themselves and have a positive outlook. Those with negative self-esteem demean and doubt themselves.
Self-esteem results from relationships/events/situations with parents during childhood, friends, peers, significant others in intimate relationships, teachers, co-workers, strangers, and the media.
People with positive self-esteem have positive characteristics associated with them, such as taking responsibility, self-motivated, good relationships, and respect. People with low self-esteem have unhappy relationships, poor judgment, critical view of themselves, and they don't believe in themselves. Low self-esteem can lead to worry, depression, use of substances, angry behavior, or eating concerns. Stress is also related to low self-esteem and the immune system may be compromised in those with low self-esteem.
Three tips for feeling good: think deeply about your feelings, look for the silver linings (positive things), and practice gratitude.
We can always improve our mental health, even if we think it is good. Building our self-esteem can lead to self-fulfillment, which is an essential part of our well-being.
To maintain self-esteem, you can do some of the following: join a support group if necessary, be realistic, make time for yourself, maintain physical health, ask for help when needed, let go of negativity (especially from your childhood), work to change things you don't like, avoid media influences of self-esteem, and surround yourself with those who care.

Week 2 activity - Self-esteem
Week 2 (Monday, Nov 9 to Sunday, Nov 15)
Self-Esteem Assessment
· In what ways does your positive view of yourself enhance your well-being?
· What are some of your favorite personal putdowns/criticisms?
· What qualities of yours do you particularly admire?
Most of us need an occasional boost for our self-confidence. Here are some ways to help improve your self-esteem:
· Talk to yourself gently. Don’t be your worst critic. Change negative thoughts or saying to positive self-talk.
· Be realistic. Avoid comparisons to others and accept your differences.
· Worry wisely. You can’t change everything. Don’t worry about what you can’t control.
· Affirm your resources. Keep your strengths in mind and make them work for you.
· Focus on what deeply satisfies you. Spend time on worthwhile people and things. Participate in things that give you a sense of purpose and worth.
· Hang in there when the going gets tough. Keep up with your meaningful responsibilities when you feel as though you are falling to pieces. You are strong enough.

Categories:

What do you observe about your responses?
Do you rely on only one person? Are some of your important needs currently not being met?
What might you like to strengthen or change? Note some of your observations.
Keep the following things for getting your needs met as you review your interpersonal needs assessment.
- Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Try to depend on more than one person for your support network.
- Don’t beat your head against a stone wall. Accept that some may not be appropriate for all needs.
- Accept willing substitutes. You can find people to support you even if one important person is gone or unable.
- Don’t wait for a mind reader. You have to reveal yourself; don’t make people guess what you need.Speak up. The risk of not speaking up outweighs loneliness and fear.
Stress Management recap
If you would like to see the powerpoint presentation from yesterday's Stress Management lunch and learn, it is available on the share drive at S: SC Region/Camden/Melissa/Lunch and Learn Presentations.
Summary:
There is good and bad stress and there are different causes of stress (psychosocial, environmental, and self-imposed). Stress can be general or cumulative, as well as acute tramatic and post-tramatic. One lately recognized type of stress is related to technology.
Some stress management involves finding balance, assessing stressors, coping effectively, changing your response, managing emotions including anger, and by thinking positive.
Other stress management techniques include taking physical action (exercise, relaxation, rest, etc), seeking control of the present, laughing and enjoying life, organization, social support, spirituality, looking at what triggers negative emotions, and finding an outlet for your frustration. One technique may not work for everything so try different things.
Mindfulness is enjoying the present moment and living life to the fullest. Try to do this more and less on auto pilot.
There are many different ways to relieve stress, some are: journaling, physical activity, reading, talking to someone, crying, deep breathing, and laughter.

Fall 2009 wellness activity
Here is the information for the fall 2009 regional wellness activity. Faculty - I will be talking for a few minutes at the regional meeting and ITV on Oct 20. NPAs and support staff- please look over the information and let me know if you have any questions.
Basically, there are 5 activities focusing in on social/emotional/mental wellness, one activity per week for 5 weeks. These activities are not complicated, nor should they take you very much time. There are reflection questions with each activity for your personal use.
There are also 5 Adobe Connect (similar to Centra) sessions, one per week for 5 weeks. Those sessions are voluntary, but it may be a good chance for you to bring your lunch to work and eat while listening to the session during the 12 to 12:45 time frame (probably more like 12 to 12:30 but I wanted to allow plenty of time). Your office may also choose to do a potluck lunch as a group and listen to the session that day. This is not a competition, like we have done in the past. If you are even remotely interested in any of the sessions, I need to know one week in advance of the session. For the first session on Monday, Nov 2, I need to know by Tuesday, Oct 27 so that I can send the information to ETCS ahead of time.
I encourage everyone to participate in these activities and start your way to better social, emotional, and mental wellness.
The information was emailed out to everyone, but I will also be posting them each week on this blog. I will also post a short summary after each Adobe Connect session.

Where do foods fit on Mypyramid?
Most everyone has seen Mypyramid from the USDA. If you haven't, check out http://mypyramid.gov. Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out which food group a certain food fits. The website Food-a-pedia can help you determine which food group they will fall into and it's very user-friendly, http://www.myfoodapedia.gov/Default.aspx.

Laughter
You can get more out of everyday and improve your emotional wellness with laughter. If you can't laugh, fake it!
- Start with a big smile on your face. Say, "he he he, ho ho ho, ha ha ha" and keep repeating until you start to giggle. Have others join you.
- Don't be afraid to look or act silly. It will put a smile on your face.
- When you are in a stressful situation, fake a laugh. This instantly improves your mood. -
- Make someone else laugh or smile, this act is contagious and will make yourself or others smile.
- A pretend giggle can usually turn into a laugh.
- Give it a try, you don't have anything to lose!
