Emotional Wellbeing and June EAP Newsletter

June 1, 2024

There are many ways to take care of your mental health, all of which can contribute to your emotional wellbeing. Healthy eating, exercise, and sleep habits play a role, as do supportive social connections and efforts to deal with stress. Another important strategy is to refocus your thinking. Using approaches such as positive reframing, gratitude, self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and intentional distraction, you can shift the balance from negative thoughts and emotions toward more positive ones. Deer Oaks EAP is here to support you 24/7/365 and can help with refocusing your thinking to look at problems and worries from different and more optimistic angles and to support your emotional wellbeing.

In this month’s EAP Newsletter, the following topics are discussed:

  • Online Seminar: Living Well 365 – Igniting Motivation for a Fulfilling Life.
    • Explore strategies for self-care to improve physical health, nurture mental wellbeing, foster positive relationships, and adopt healthy habits.
    • Available on-demand starting June 18th.
