Begin with Who, Not What, Why or How for Health and Wellness
SESSION INFO
Monday, February 6, 2023
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Creating intrinsic motivation is the secret to producing sustainable health and wellness daily behaviors. Understanding “who” we are doing these health and wellness activities is when we create sustainable healthy behaviors. Your physical and mental health is foundational to your success on the job and at home. When departments provide incentives for healthy behaviors, they are giving perks that produce some results. To instill sustainable healthy behaviors, officers and staff must understand “who” will benefit from them doing these healthy behaviors. Once they know their family, themselves, and their co-workers will benefit, they will internally create their motivation to practice healthy behaviors habitually.
