Welcome to the Healthy Solutions Community!

I guess some may say there are many things that people have not clue about…maybe so. However, what I know FOR SURE is that most people have NO CLUE about the importance of positive, productive, and purposeful leisure time involvement.

We hear the words and titles….Activities, Activity Department, Activity Leader, Activity Director and for most what comes to mind is Bingo, Ball Toss, and (nothing social about) Coffee Social. Other health professionals say that all this department does is have fun, occupy time….and that it must be EASY to be in this department.

Really? Easy? Is it easy knowing 60, 99, sometimes even more residents/participants Leisure (activity) Interests and THEN get them involved in those activities? Sit with that for a moment.

I know, I know….it’s the mind-blown emoji.

The ONE thing most people don’t understand is that what residents, participants, humans (YOU and I) do in our Free Time Matters. What we all do in our free time has everything to do with our Health and Wellness.

Think about this…there are Healthy ways to spend free time: in activities of choice, in learning new things, exposure OR there are Unhealthy ways to spend free time: isolating, drinking/drugging, technology addiction, gambling, and other mind/body numbing activities.

Again, let me say it….we’re talking about more than Fun, Fun and more fun. Yes, the byproduct is Fun…but it’s more than that x100.

It’s about Health and Wellness. It’s the heart of our Human Experience.

This is what the heart of our work at Healthy Solutions. We will continue to spread this message and prompt our community to join us. We believe that if more people knew this the healthier our communities and world could be.

We don’t know until we know.

Onward and Upward,

Rebecca
