With Gratitude
This holiday season, remember to honor your whole well-being, colleagues and loved ones with the gift of gratitude, acts of kindness, compassion and grace. The Greater Good Science Center tells us “grateful people may have better sleep, healthier hearts, and fewer aches and pains”, and according to The Heart and Science of Kindness blog in Harvard Health, when we “recognize our shared human experience” and lead with compassion followed with kindness, we experience a boost in our own happiness.
Wishing you all continued health and well-being,
Your Be Well at Work - Wellness Team

The UC Diabetes Prevention Program is a campus-based small-group, one year healthy lifestyle program that uses a scientifically based approach developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help you make important lifestyle changes. Trained lifestyle coaches lead one-hour sessions in which you’ll learn healthy habits that stick, while significantly reducing your chance of developing type 2 diabetes.
If you think you could be at risk of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, register to attend an information session or contact Cori Evans at corievans@berkeley.edu for more information. uhs.berkeley.edu/dpp. |

the Month:

Some favorite homemade gifts include peppermint patties, chocolate pistachio apricots, beeswax wraps, curried lentil soup in a jar, and rosemary sesame pecans. Preparing one (or more) of these recipes can be a fun virtual or in person team builder! If you need a treat for a holiday celebration, consider furikake snack mix, soft pretzels, cookie dough dip, or chocolate peanut butter apple nachos!
