SMALL CHANGES with a big impact
Sam, an Assistant Business Support Manager shares her incredible transformation that has impacted her wellbeing not only at work but also in her family life.

What motivated you to enroll on the Habits for Health programme?
“I hadn’t really thought about “wellbeing” before, it meant being happy right? I knew something wasn’t quite right with me but couldn’t articulate it. I knew alcohol was becoming a monster, I knew sewing was doing something good for me. I knew I wasn’t eating well, but didn’t really connect it to my wellbeing. It was just the curve balls of life at the time. So when I heard about the programme through work, I was curious. Perhaps this is something I need. Let me try it and see. Maybe it will help…..”
How did you find the Habits for Health programme?
“Oh wow!!! Where do I begin? The programme came to me at the right time – even though I didn’t realise I needed it. At the beginning, I was surprised at how much of an impact little changes could do. The programme explained the science behind it and this really resonated with me. The videos were great, and packed in so much information in a clear way. The programme helped me to understand what was happening to my body, and with that I started to understand what Wellbeing really was.”
What’s changed for you since completing the Habits for Health programme?
“There have been quite a few changes. First, I began walking in the mornings. it was just a little walk, but this quickly increased to a 4.5 mile walk. I found getting up and going straight out for a walk set me up for the day. It really is medicine for me. It is healing me when I didn’t realise how broken I was.
The walk has become more than just a walk. Yes, there are physical benefits, I am stronger and fitter, but it clears my head – all the destructive, negative thoughts are stamped out in the first mile and replaced with things I want to achieve for the day. I’m normally walking around 4.30-5am and have begun to appreciate the peace and stillness at that time of the morning. The world is either still sleeping or just beginning to stir. The roads are quiet, the birds are waking up and I now find comfort in this peace. And that’s it. That right there, for me is good wellbeing. I understand what it feels like now. I get it now.
