Can you believe it's already September? It’s also officially Self-Care Awareness Month!
As we return to routines after the adventures of summer, let's not let taking care of ourselves reach the back burner of our priorities. Engaging in regular self-care activities helps us to reduce impacts of stress, enhance physical well-being and more.
Bright Breaks has new content to help us get into the spirit of Self-Care Awareness Month!
Identifying Your Self-Care Needs Series - 3:05 pm

See more live and on-demand breaks that enhance our self-care journeys here.
Are you sitting down most of the day?
It's easy to get stuck at our desks, but moving more can make a HUGE difference to how we feel
We often hear that 10,000 steps a day is the gold standard, but studies now show that hitting just 5,000 steps a day can help boost our mood, increase energy levels, and improve our mental and physical health. Getting up for a walk or run is an excellent form of self-care!
There's a 7-minute break on Bright Breaks designed to help you get more steps in, even if you can't make it outside:
Step Challenge - Monday, Wednesday and Friday at multiple times
Check out Step Challenge on-demand to get your step count up anytime!
Mondays: love them or hate them?
There's debate on whether a 'case of the Mondays' is a thing or not, but there's no arguing that the first day of the work week is when we recalibrate ourselves for a (hopefully) successful week ahead.
Bright Breaks has us covered with 7-minute Monday breaks created to help us launch our week with self-care:
Energize Your Week Bootcamp - 9:05 am
Monday Motivation w/ Dietitian Grace Anderson - 3:35 pm
Weekend Recovery Stretch - 8:50 am (watch on-demand)
There's hundreds of live and on-demand breaks to choose from, in the Move, Breathe, Stretch, Eat Well & Learn categories.
The Week of September 23 is International Week of Happiness at Work Week!
Second to sleeping during our lifetime, most us spend much of our time contributing within our workplace.
Being happy at work plays a big role in our happiness in our lives overall!
In the spirit of Happiness at Work Week, here are breaks on Bright Breaks to help us amp up the joy:
How to Get Happy Now - on-demand
Gratitude Session - Various days and times, as well as, on-demand
Blues Buster Dance Break - Tuesday - 11:05 am
