Wellness Tip of the Week
Easy Transition Tips During Daylight Savings 

Tips to minimize the effects of shorter days on your physical and mental wellbeing: 

1. Keep a schedule, especially by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day. 
2. Adjust your clocks back the night before the change so that way, when you wake up, you’ll begin adjusting to the new time right away.  
3. Welcome the sun every day by soaking in some sunlight to help you feel more awake.  
4. Exercise boosts energy levels and positively affects mood, just be sure not to do it too close to your bedtime because it interferes with the release of melatonin, a hormone that tells your brain it’s time to sleep. 
5. Prepare your young kids by starting a few days before the time change by pushing naps a bit later each day.  

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 7, 2021, at 2:00 A.M.  
On Saturday night, set your clocks back one hour (i.e., gaining one hour) to “fall back.” 
These winners became eligible for the weekly prize drawing by logging at least 2 miles of activity a week.
 
Don’t be discouraged if you didn’t win this week. Prizes will be awarded weekly, and the majority of our prizes--including the top tier prizes—will go to those earning the Fall Activity Challenge 70 badge at the conclusion of the Challenge on November 14.
 
The moral of the story—keep achieving and logging activity, and encourage your friends and group-mates to do the same! Even if you haven’t started moving and logging, it is never too late to get on track to a more powerful you!

What is the WellPower Fall Activity Challenge?

The WellPower Movement Fall Activity Challenge, which began October 11, is the final component of 2021 for the WellPower Movement, a year-round activity-tracking website hosted by The Wellbeing Partners and the Nebraska Sports Council.
The program encourages individuals to increase their daily physical activity with the opportunity to earn prizes for themselves and recognition for their company or organization. To take the challenge, participants log physical and mental activity on a personal dashboard they establish for free at WellPowerMovement.com. 
The main goal of the WellPower Movement Fall Activity Challenge is to log at least 70 miles in a 5-week period between October 11 and November 14. Activity miles can be achieved by walking, running, biking and/or converting other physical and mental health activities. Participants who log miles will be eligible for weekly random drawing prizes and those who accomplish 70 miles (average 2 miles a day) by November 14 will earn the Fall70 badge and are automatically entered into a drawing for a $250 Scheels gift card along with other random drawing prizes.
