Following our blog on what good wellbeing looks like when successfully implemented in business, we thought it would be worth sharing our experiences on what good wellbeing feels like for those who benefit from the initiatives. It's a topic that seems particularly relevant given the busy week that many people have just experienced...
So, as a new Prime Minister arrives at Number 10, the question arises as to how you take care of your wellbeing as you take on one of the most demanding roles in the country?
And does looking after your wellbeing really help you to perform better and cope with the challenges of a demanding job?
We believe it does and many world leaders agree. David Cameron is a keen runner and cyclist, and President Obama loves basketball and the gym. And it's not just those in the top jobs that benefit from looking after themselves.
So what results do people experience and how does wellbeing change their life? Read the two examples below of how far reaching the benefits of good wellbeing can be. They both came from people we've worked with and illustrate how straightforward getting great results with wellbeing can be if tackled in the right way.
What Good Wellbeing Feels Like~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good Wellbeing 1:
Weight Loss, Stamina and a New Lease of Life
I want to thank you indeed for your good suggestions about fitness, and I want to update you about my performance:
When I started the programme my personal weight was 93 kilos and now after 10.5 month, my weight is 73 kilos.
Last Saturday I ran my first marathon (previously for me to run 5 kilometers was a mirage...) and I'm starting training for NY2011.
My work and personal life is totally different and I feel better, in particular for headache and stomachache: now only good food in correct quantities.
Good Wellbeing 2:
Confidence, Balance, Energy and Positivity
Weight loss continues. I am very pleased to say I have dropped a dress size. I put an old suit on today and I couldn't wear the pants - they were too baggy. I have now lost 11kgs and have had to buy a new wardrobe!!! I feel great!
Still wearing the pedometer and on average am doing 10,000 steps per day (yesterday I did 17,000 just in the course of work) . Am taking the stairs at work when I don't have heavy bags to carry and am now run/walking 4kms in 30 mins, three times a week and it's having a very good effect on my tennis game and at netball.
I have bought a Pilates band and DVD and am doing a session at home a couple of times per week and am really watching what I am eating (and drinking!)
I am receiving a lot of positive support from family and colleagues about the changes I have made and the changes they can see. I have more energy and am feeling really positive about work and life in general.
Can I thank you sincerely for your encouragement to give new things a try. Do keep in touch - it's lovely to be able to give a positive account of how things are going.
