Fantastic wellness results in just 4-weeks

This week we concluded the wellness programme on one of the 4-week executive training programmes that are a regular feature in our calendar.  

The current group has been outstanding in their dedication all things wellness related.  The participants on the programme are attending from around the world and when they arrive many of them aren't really sure what the wellness part of their programme will entail, and a few aren't really aware that wellness will feature at all.  

Without exception the entire group took full advantage of the opportunity to analyse their current approaches to their health and wellness and make a few key changes.  We provided them a selection of resources - presentations on key wellness topics, health assessments, coaching and practical sessions such as yoga, Pilates and fitness.  The rest was up to them.

The changes made by the group can be summarised as follows:

• Eating more healthily

• Drinking less coffee or no coffee at all

• Planning a more organised sleep routine

• Drinking less alcohol or no alcohol at all

• Eating fewer sugary meals or snacks

• Restarted exercise / running / swimming / gym

• Stopped skipping meals

• Eating more fruit and / or vegetables

• Walking at least 10,000 steps a day

• Trying out some new exercise ideas

• Eating more regularly and making better choices

• Listening to my body more

• Drinking more water

The benefits reported by the group include the following.  And remember, this has all been achieved in less than 4-weeks and in the middle of a very busy executive leadership programme:

• More efficient use of exercise time

• Better energy – personal and professional

• Really enjoyed new activities. Pilates and yoga very effective

• Feels like I’m on a wellness retreat

• Personal wellness much more of a priority now

• Now view wellness as essential and indispensible in terms of career and personal life

• Weight loss

• Better concentration levels

• Better quality of sleep

• Improved responsibility for my own wellness

• Thinking more clearly

• Reduced pain from injuries

• Feel more energetic, feel happier

This demonstrates very clearly that you don’t need long to make positive changes with your approach to wellness and personal performance, or to experience fantastic results.  

So why not think about the biggest difference you could make to how you feel and how you perform over the coming month?  Your results could be amazing.

Good luck!
