Be proactive about your health & wellness:
It's important to stay up-to-date with doctors visits. Be proactive about your health by scheduling annual visits. Your healthcare provider can use an annual physical to track existing conditions, monitor your health, update vaccinations, perform any necessary exams, and discuss risks for hereditary diseases that may run in your family.
Learn about the types of annual visits offered at Inspired Health Group and how to schedule your next appointment online.
Focus on your mental health:
Whether it's a change in the season, a shift in your life circumstances, or for a reason you can't pinpoint — we all struggle with our mental health from time to time! Cooler months can feel lonely as summer BBQs, outdoor concerts and events wind down, but knowing you have support is essential. We are here to help!
If you're looking for ways to improve your emotional wellness, try these options to start:
- Find a hobby that allows you to express yourself
- Stay active
- Practice being mindful through meditation or yoga
- Get involved in a community event
- Keep a daily journal to write down your thoughts and feelings
- Stay social with friends and family, even if it's through phone call or video chat
- Seek help if you feel you need support

Get moving outside:
Spending time outside can boost your mood and your overall wellbeing. Bundle up and take in the stillness of winter with a stroll through the woods, help a neighbor shovel snow, or meet up with a friend for a hot tea to-go and walk around the neighborhood. There's so much we can continue to do outside to keep moving, even in cooler seasons.
Here are some more ideas to keep moving with simple activities!
