The forthcoming “Your Guide to Lifestyle Change” series is poised to have a significant impact on individuals striving to achieve their New Year’s resolutions and health objectives. As indicated by a recent Forbes Health poll, nearly half of individuals who set resolutions are focused on enhancing their fitness levels. Regrettably, many resolutions lose momentum within a mere four months. The upcoming lifestyle change series is designed to address this issue, particularly within the U.S. Army Sustainment Command (ASC) workforce.
Linda Ottman, the Wellness Branch chief of the G1 (Human Resources) Resilience and Readiness (R2) division, has underscored the importance of the series. According to Ottman, “This series provides individuals with best practices and processes to assist in achieving their personal goals, whether they relate to weight loss, a healthier diet, improved sleep, or stress management.”
The series is structured into six virtual classes, with each session scheduled for Tuesdays, commencing on January 23. For participants unable to attend in real-time, recorded sessions will be made available to ASC Soldiers and Civilians. Ottman has stressed that the primary objective of the series is to empower employees to implement lifestyle changes that are most suitable for them, irrespective of their personal goals.
In addition to the individual benefits, the series also aims to contribute to ASC’s mission by ensuring a contented and healthy workforce. Nick Osterhaus, the G1 R2 Resilience Branch chief, has acknowledged the potential impact of the series on the workplace environment. Osterhaus has noted the positive feedback from participants, indicating a tangible effect on both individual lives and the overall workplace atmosphere.
The topics covered in the lifestyle change series have been thoughtfully selected based on feedback from the ASC workforce. Going forward, the series will address the themes of “The Motivation,” “The Purpose,” “The Choices,” “The Setbacks,” “The Stressors,” and “The New Normal.” Each week will delve into different aspects of initiating and maintaining lifestyle changes.
The expertise and resources provided by the R2 team align with their broader objective of fostering a resilient and prepared workforce within ASC. Ottman has emphasized the relevance of the R2 programs in strengthening the command’s resilience initiatives and promoting personal preparedness and team cohesion.
Participants can anticipate gaining valuable insights and tools to support their personal growth and wellness journey. Osterhaus has highlighted the significance of being adaptable to change, as it contributes to building resilience. The series aims to equip participants with the necessary skills to navigate life’s challenges and maintain a positive mindset.
To further bolster the ASC workforce in their pursuit of lifestyle change, the R2 team has crafted a structured approach to cater to the diverse needs of the participants. With a strong focus on wellness education and prevention, the team aims to empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
In conclusion, the “Your Guide to Lifestyle Change” series presents an invaluable opportunity for the ASC workforce to embark on a journey of personal transformation. By equipping participants with the tools and knowledge to initiate meaningful change, the series has the potential to exert a positive impact on individuals’ lives, workplace dynamics, and overall well-being.
