Well Being & Self Care: for Physical and Mental Health

Overwhelm, stress, coupled with insufficient time for self-care are the reality in today’s world. Almost everyone knows what’s good for their well-being. We know that exercising is good, that meditation pays dividends, and that sleeping enough is essential for us to functional optimally. Yet, this knowledge does not always translate to action. This course attempts to bridge that gap through the creation of habits, by suggesting well-being practices that are practical, impactful, and research backed. At the same time, we realize that we can’t just meditate our way to well-being; there are other factors at play as well. The course therefore touches upon deep rooted behaviors that come in the way of our well-being and provides strategies to manage them.
