Thrive Locally
Wellness Tip of the Day
Movement
Try a balance exercise, like standing on one foot.
- Stand on one foot for 30 seconds to a minute, then switch to the other foot. To increase difficulty, try closing your eyes or doing it near a chair for support.
Ways to Thrive
How’s Your Mindset?
Taking care of mental health helps us handle stress and find balance in our daily lives. When we have a strong mindset, we’re better prepared to take on life’s challenges and find enjoyment in everyday moments.
Are You Staying Active?
Moving doesn’t have to mean a big workout; it’s about keeping active in ways that fit your day, like walking, lifting, or working on your feet. Staying active keeps our bodies strong and improves energy and mood.
What Fuels You?
Nutritious food and good rest power us through the day. When we make smart choices with food and sleep, we have more energy, stay focused, and better meet life’s demands.
Who’s in Your Corner?
Relationships with family, friends, and neighbors help us feel connected and supported. Building strong connections in our community reduces stress and gives us a sense of belonging and happiness.
