Why Share?
What is the best thing to do right after you accomplished a goal and hit your target? You share it with someone!
Let's share reasons to share:
- It's an expression of your new-found strength
- You're handing someone a positive feeling
- You are speaking enthusiasm right into someones feeling of defeat or lethargy
- You connect with your work-family
- Victory breeds victory | You are instilling ambition
- And by listening you partner in celebration
Share small and large successes! Each time you express an accomplished task or goal it serves as a solidifier for your value system. The "finish line" mentality becomes more concrete. Even sharing a feeling of an ambition has value. Others will pick up on your vibe and the next thing you know, buddy training is happening!
Where to Share?
Begin with people you are close to, in proximity and emotionally. The ones who you work with and the ones you care about (hopefully those are the same :) would love to hear it!
Share someone else's success too. Brag boxes are a way to drop encouragement. Begin your next business meeting with sharing someones successes.
The Coliseum is a great place to come brag! We love to hear successes on body fat loss, a body age that shows less than the physical age, a story on a member who is now medication free, teams who just finished 12 sessions together, a story of a rehabilitated knee from the Step It Up, someone who crossed the finish line from a recent race and beat their best time, etc.!
It produces an atmosphere of positive energy and cultural momentum. I like the analogy of a thermostat verse a thermometer. One simply tells you the temperature of the atmosphere and one changes the temperature of the atmosphere. Be a thermostat! Agents of change.
Generate energy where you can't see. Post a success, email a friend, drop a note... You are free to share! The power of the tangible and intangible are in your control.
Social Wellness: Connectivity Empowers Holistic Wellbeing
One of the key elements to our success with wellness programs has been the social element. Health educators and social science would agree that health is a social phenomenon. The people around us have a significant impact on our health, and we have influence on theirs as well. Creating the right kind of environment and cultural momentum toward healthy living produces engagement and sustainability.
Program design and development must have its foundation in methods that really matter to people, and will produce updated lifestyle habits. What good is having a program if it doesn't provide a platform for genuine connection? And specifically the needs of our associates.
Healthy behaviors tend to stick if you are connected to others who are involved and committed to similar goals. This is where FIT Groups come into play. We are promoting our summer semester of interest based health and fitness groups, and will have more info at the upcoming rally on May 1st.

WW Last Word(s)...
Food for thought: Everything we say either helps or hurts. Every time you share a success you are giving people positive chunks to chew on, encouraging nuggets to digest.
~Ben Franklin
"The power of life and death is in the tongue."
~Proverbs 18:21
"A few generations ago, people didn't have a way to share information and express their opinions efficiently to a lot of people. But now they do, right now, with social networks and other tools on the internet, millions of people have a way to say what they're thinking and have their voice be heard."
~Mark Zuckerberg
