June’s edition of the Digital Wellbeing series asks you to call instead of texting, take a walk out in nature and implement random acts of kindness to increase your sense of social connection.
Connecting with other people makes us feel a sense of belonging. People who make connections socially and emotionally have lower levels of negative emotions. That’s why it’s so important, as we emerge from two years of social distancing, to reconnect with our communities and loved ones.
Available for all our employees, the Digital Wellbeing Series by the Resilience Project includes ten 3-minute videos covering topics including devices, emotional literacy, and mindfulness.
Each month we put the spotlight on a different topic and share new strategies you can introduce into your daily routine to prioritise your health and mental wellbeing.
Access the Digital Wellbeing series
To access the Digital Wellbeing Series and to watch the video on ‘Social Connection’, log in to LATTE and search ‘The Resilience Project’ under the ‘Find Learning’ tab.
To learn more about The Resilience Project, visit their website. For more information, resources and log in details for the Digital Wellbeing Series, visit the Monash Health COVID-19 employee website. Keep an eye out for next month’s spotlight, where the topic is ‘Living with purpose’.
You can access all 10 topics of the Digital Wellbeing Series. However, the monthly spotlights aim to help you focus on one topic at a time. To make new lasting habits, it is important to start small, add in one change at a time and to remain consistent. If you feel more comfortable, you can complete all modules in your own time.
