#mlk has got us thinking about we at Progressive want to make the world a better place. What does a successful and thriving 2020 means to us? How do we want to show up for ourselves? How do we want to show up in the world? How can we make a difference and make this world a better place?⁣
⁣
Here are some of the ideas our team came up with:⁣
⁣
🌟Slow is fast! Sometimes we go so caught up in checking things off the list and getting it all done, but is that really that effective? Slow and small impacts will win the race!⁣
⁣
🌟To build off that, focus on what is important. Where are our values? What are our values? How can we act on those?⁣
⁣
🌟Take time for ourselves, practice what we preach! Make time for self-care, traveling, and fill from a full cup!⁣
⁣
🌟Growth! ⁣
⁣
🌟Contributing to global causes, let's create a healthy and sustainable planet. 2020 is the time to volunteer, focus, and be an activist. ⁣
⁣
🌟Let's take aligned and inspired action. Let's help to create a healthier, happier, and more peaceful world. ⁣ ... See MoreSee Less

✨Reflecting back from WEEK 1: SELF CARE in our Roaming Wellness Program. ✨
.
You cannot pour from an empty cup. At Progressive we want to help teach you methods to enhance your #selfcare practices and create more resilience day to day.
.
Did you know our daily actions (habits) are either intentional (requiring conscious attention) or habitual (automatic behaviors triggered by cues like washing hands after using the restroom)?

Changing an ingrained habit requires patience and self control.
.
Self control helps us “lift the load” of life while focusing on our goals.
.
Be a patient of patience. Impatience increases the speed of life interfering with deep thinking making us quick to judge with a negative bias creating less self control or physical/mental health.
.
Knowing all of the above and wanting to elicit more self care and slow down a bit, how do we put this into practice? Here are a few examples of how to take back control and build up your resilience:
.
1️⃣Intentional Meditation - this is an intentional practice to improve lifestyle and well-being - resting our eyes, heart, and body. If you need a little help with practice, see the link in our profile for a short guided meditation.
.
2️⃣”Lift the load of life” - every moment in our day is a chance to be able to choose what we draw our attention to and bring our focus. Take a second to focus your attention on your favorite people, places or things that bring you joy. What do you see?
.
3️⃣Sprinkling moments of patience throughout the day focused on your self care. Start with simple things like enjoying your sip of coffee, savoring that bite of chocolate, looking at the scenes around you as you walk to work. All will help build your patience muscle and slow down a bit more.
.
👉🏻We’d love to hear your thoughts if you were able to experience Roaming Wellness @rosemedicalcenter or St. Luke’s / Presbyterian OR if you put into practice any of the above. Please share with us!

According to the Advisory Board, 69% of Healthcare workers reported feeling stressed, and 17% reported feeling highly stressed.
.
There is a major problem with that statistic. These people are caring for others needs and need help caring for their own.
.
Service industries are difficult and finding a way to alleviate or reduce stress is key for people in these professions.
.
At Progressive Health Center we are dedicated to providing Integrative and Holistic care and support to these individuals as we know they give so much of themselves every single day.
.
To this end, we’ve created a Roaming Wellness Program designed your reduce burnout by educating healthcare workers in 3 key areas of engagement: social/emotional, behavioral & cognitive.
.
Health coaches will focus on 1 principle a week over the course of 8 weeks with focused departments of the hospital to allow for personal exploration guided by core values: Self Care, Gratitude, Acceptance, Compassion, Meaning and Forgiveness.
.
We are so proud to kick off this program and are looking forward to seeing the progress and we continue through these next 8 weeks! We hope to share some very encouraging and inspiring stories!
