Staying Connected

Staying connected and keeping a sense of community is more important now than ever in times of ever changing circumstances. We all need human connection to positively impact all aspects of our well-being. You may feel like your colleagues appear to have it all worked out and you are still struggling.  Remember, work-life balance looks different for everyone.  You will figure out what works for you, but it takes time and support! 

Being kind and compassionate to yourself and staying connected to family, friends and colleagues is a priority for ISU WorkLife!  We host several live events each week to support our ISU community and create opportunities for connection: Mid-Morning Mindfulness, WorkLife Connections, and Friday Walk and Talks.

If you have any questions, please email ISU WorkLife.

Keeping Community.

Staying connected and keeping a sense of community is more important now than ever in this time of working at home, social/physical distancing and ever changing circumstances. We all need human connection and unfortunately, this prolonged social isolation can really impact all aspects of our well-being. You may feel like your colleagues appear to have it all worked out and you are still struggling.  Remember, working remotely and work-life balance look different for everyone.  You will figure out what works for you, but it takes time and support! 

Being kind and compassionate to yourself and staying connected to family, friends and colleagues during this time, is a priority for ISU WellBeing!  We will be hosting several live events each week to support our ISU community and to help create some opportunities for connection. Check out the details below for three new offerings: Mid-Morning Mindfulness, Well-being Wednesdays, and Friday Walk and Talks.

Keeping Community.

In this time of working at home, social distancing and endless and ongoing changes, sometimes it is difficult to figure out which is the right way.  Your colleagues appears to have it all worked out and you are still struggling.  Remember, work-life balance looks different for everyone.  You will figure out what works for you.  Be kind and compassionate to yourself as well as others.  

Once of the challenges during these changing times is how to Keep Community and Stay Connected.  

This is a priority for Iowa State University and ISU WellBeing, so beginning now ISU WellBeing will be hosting several live events each week to support being a community and staying connected. 

Check out the details below for Mid-Morning Mindfulness, Well-being Wednesdays, and Friday Walk and Talk.
