Spring is finally in the air, and if you haven’t already started looking for ways to detoxify and cleanse every aspect of your life, there’s no better time than the present. Why not use the start of a new season as an opportunity to help your clients embrace a\u00a0healthy lifestyle change? If you’re not already putting an emphasis on a holistic approach to health, we have a few tips to make advocating for preventative care a much easier task\u2014for everyone involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Help\u00a0your clients develop\u00a0the necessary skills to adopt a more holistic approach to health<\/h2>\n
“Understanding the link between lifestyle choices and health conditions and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle is the basis of health promotion,” according to an interview with\u00a0Dr. Michael O\u2019Donnell featured in\u00a0Corporate Health Partners. “The key here is to integrate these new changes into one\u2019s life. One of the most important components of skill building is goal setting, which actually doubles success rates.” For many people, goals often feel unattainable because they are much too large or complex to accomplish in a short period of time. Fortunately, today, holistic health practices and preventative measures have become so popular that they’re building their own community, making them much more accessible and accepted. Your clients will have a much easier time sticking to healthy habits when they have the support of others making the same changes.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Two of the best preventive-care measures are physical activity and a well-balanced and clean diet. On the more obvious side, it’s important for your clients to drop any bad habits that they may have, such as the use of drugs, or tobacco, or the overconsumption of alcohol. Nourishing the body with whole foods and challenging the body with an adequate amount of exercise is essential, but if your clients are putting their health at risk in other ways, encourage them to give up unhealthy habits once and for all. And don’t forget to be mindful of your client’s mental health. “Challenge your employees (and yourself) to stand up, walk around the workspace, and stretch often during work hours. Breaks are necessary to refresh the mind and foster creativity<\/span>” according to an article in\u00a0Quickbooks.\u00a0 \u00a0“While it may seem counter-intuitive, allowing regular breaks can\u00a0<\/span>boost productivity\u00a0and help maintain an environment of innovation and focus at your small business<\/span>.”\u00a0<\/p>\n To encourage a holistic approach to health today, advise your clients to make exercise and\u00a0a healthy diet a priority today\u2014not tomorrow or the next day.\u00a0Finally, don’t forget to remind them of the importance of recovery.\u00a0Making time for restorative methods\u2014such as yoga, sleep and scheduling quality time with loved ones\u2014is often overlooked but can help make mental and physical habits more manageable and sustainable over\u00a0time.<\/p>\n Start your journey towards becoming a yoga instructor and gain the skills you need to succeed with AFPA’s professional training program.<\/p>\nPreventative measures for a healthier, happier life<\/h3>\n
