Why Workplace Wellness Needs More Practice and Less Talking
We talk a lot about workplace stress and burnout. But knowing you're stressed doesn't necessarily give you the ability to change how you feel in the moment.
That's why I created The Energy Reset™, a three-week workplace wellness experience built around one simple progression:
Breathe. Move. Center.
Instead of beginning with meditation and asking an already-busy mind to suddenly become quiet, we start with the body.
Week 1: Breathe
The first week is all about conscious breathing.
Employees explore how breathing changes when we're stressed and experience different breathing styles for calming, focusing, and increasing alertness.
The goal is to develop a personal toolkit so employees can begin asking: What does my body need right now?
Week 2: Move
Next, we add movement.
Sitting for hours, staring at screens, and moving from task to task can leave us feeling tense, restless, or depleted.
Employees explore simple movements including stretching, rocking, twisting, spiraling, and rhythmic movement. We discuss circulation, tension, body awareness, and the traditional concept of prana or life-force energy as another way of exploring our experience of vitality.
No workout clothes or yoga experience required.
Week 3: Center
Meditation comes last intentionally.
For some people, trying to meditate while the body is restless and the mind is racing can be frustrating.
What happens if we breathe and move first?
During week three, employees begin combining everything they've learned and finish with meditation as the resting point.
By the end, the complete practice becomes:
10 minutes breathing + 10 minutes movement + 10 minutes meditation = a 30-minute Energy Reset.
Why Three Weeks?
Because I don't want employees to simply hear about wellness.
I want them to practice it.
The Energy Reset includes five facilitated lunch-hour sessions each week for three weeks. Light nourishment is provided while we learn and discuss topics such as stress, energy, hydration, mindful eating, movement, and body awareness.
Then we practice together.
After 15 experiences, employees leave with something they can continue exploring long after I've left the workplace.
The goal is simple: recognize what your body needs, learn tools for changing your state, and know how to return to your center.
