Dear colleagues,

It's always a good time to pause and say thanks. This quick, powerful practice can lift your well-being, energy, and mood. Bonus: It can improve the well-being of your recipient, too.

Grab a pen and a blank card, and try it now.

Write a brief thank-you note to someone who recently did something kind for you. Keep it short and sweet; just give simple thanks for what they did. When you're done, seal your note and either slip it into the mail or hand deliver it.

Why manage your energy vs. your time
We agree with a key point by Madeleine Dore, who wrote this article for BBC Capital. Taking breaks to restore your attention and energy is essential to getting any real work done. According to our experts, you can do this even if you have just a few minutes. Gaze out the window or look at a nature screensaver or office plant. Or take a quick walk outdoors; you’ll return with your focus refreshed.

NOTABLE IN THE NETWORK

Now that we've opened the doors to the High Health Network, we are happily welcoming our first members. Getting to know everyone has been such a rich experience.

We've been talking about what matters most to each of us and how real health makes that possible. We're also exploring a radical new way of gathering as a practice community—one that upends the traditional social media model of consuming posts in an ad-driven online space.

Ready to upgrade your company's well-being program? Please join us.
