WHY PAVING

A Foundation to Build Upon

Our lives are busy. We are distracted more than ever before. Not all of us know how best to tackle what comes at us. A foundation is essential.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Being active is the first step

Aerobic exercise, strength training, and stretching are covered, as well as strategies to incorporate more movement into daily living.

ATTITUDE

The way you think determines the way you act

Participants are introduced to the “growth mindset” concept and encouraged to have an attitude of openness throughout the sessions.

VARIETY

Try different things?

Whether trying new vegetables, a different form of physical activity, or a new stress resiliency practice, “Variety” is emphasized throughout the lifestyle pillars.

INVESTIGATIONS

Exploration is in our DNA

Participants enjoy investigating which lifestyle behaviors feel best for their body and are empowered to lead healthier lives.

NUTRITION

Healthy eating is key

Nutrition content encourages increasing nutrient density, preferring whole foods over processed foods, and helps participants gain skills through cooking classes.

GOAL SETTING

Structure is paramont

Through learning to set SMART goals, successful behavior change becomes more likely.

STRESS RESILIENCY

Conquer your challenges

Participants are introduced to a variety of stress resiliency tools including deep breathing, the relaxation response, and mindfulness-based stress reduction.

TIME OUTS

Me time is key time

Participants learn the benefits of taking breaks from unhealthy influences, prolonged sitting, difficult conversations, and negative self-talk. A “Time Out” allows for increased clarity and overall wellbeing.

ENERGY

Energy powers us

Increasing the use of natural sources of energy such as healthful foods, exercise, and connecting with friends allows participants to increase vitality through healthy behaviors.

PURPOSE

Purpose is paramount

Identifying priorities, examining life’s meaning, and seeing the bigger picture in life, allows participants to align their behaviors with their purpose.

SLEEP

Rest is never optional

Through evaluation of the quantity and quality of their sleep and what enhances or detracts from sleep, participants are prepared to make their nights more restful.

SOCIAL CONNECTION

Social support is important

Throughout the course, high-quality connections with family, friends, and community are emphasized and meaningful connections with others in the cohort are experienced.
