HealthLaunch week in WellSet's digital studio might be over, but the wisdom we gleaned from our instructor team and their transformative classes is going to empower us—and you—for the lifelong wellbeing journey ahead. Here are just a few surprising facts and supportive insights for your emotional, mental and physical tool kit:
1. Ninety percent of serotonin, the feel good hormone, is produced in the gut. Eating probiotic-rich foods can provide a serotonin boost.
Nimisha Gandhi, How to Balance Hormones 101
2. Although we often associate burnout with shutting down, it can actually lead to a difficult time saying no, called ‘porous boundaries’.
Elizabeth Winker, LMFT, Burnout 101: How to Spot & Reduce the Signs
3. Self-confidence is not a fixed asset that you are born with or without. Self-confidence is created.
Aubree Henderson, Strengthening Self-Confidence
4. Separate fruits from veggies when storing as the ethylene gas fruit emits as part of the natural ripening process can cause neighboring produce to ripen too fast and spoil!
Delilah Bisase, RD, Sustainable Kitchen Strategies
5. During EFT, the points we tap are like a little ‘off switch’ for our stress response.
Jackie Viramontez, EFT/Tapping for Anxiety Relief
6. 'Laziness’ is based on our level of motivation—not our mood—and not something we can push ourselves out of easily. Meet yourself where you are.
Niki Saccareccia, Lazy Morning Stretch
7. Paying attention is the gateway to creativity and deeper thinking. Just for today, can you pay attention to and see more clearly what is right in front of you in every moment?
Josephine Edmondson, Breathwork for Boosting Energy
8. During meditation, you can choose to face palms up to receive or down to ground.
Natalie Valle, Meditation for Healing
9. Yin yoga gives us the opportunity to release, to let go, to surrender, and to more deeply hydrate the fascia, particularly when we breathe consciously.
Wendy Obstler, Restorative Yin Yoga
10. Most unwanted habits are ways we numb or distract ourselves from pain that we aren’t able to process. Self-hypnosis allows us to release those suppressed emotions so we can make better choices.
Lu Camy, Self-Hypnosis for Breaking Habits
