Remember when…
… you were a kid waiting for dusk to turn to darkness so you could watch the fireflies (aka lightning bugs) come out?
How about the sound of the ice cream truck moving up your street as you scramble to find money for a melts-on-your-hands dreamsicle?
Lighting sparklers then making figure 8s with your arms?
Running through the sprinkler playing freeze tag on the hottest days?
Picnics? Sandcastles? Stargazing? S’mores? Sidewalk chalk? Campfires? Skipping stones? Water balloons? Kite flying?
Participants in this one-of-a-kind workplace wellness challenge take advantage of longer daylight to relive memories like these. Recapture the vitality of childhood in our physical activity program with an all-things-summer theme.
More Than a Walk (or Jog) Down Memory Lane
Did you know fond recollections of childhood do more than make you feel good in the moment? Those memories have substantial mental and physical health benefits. Nostalgia can:
- Helps people find meaning in their lives by increasing social connectedness, self-continuity, and promoting psychological equanimity.1
- Can promote health optimism, leading to positive attitudes and increased physical activity, promoting better physical well-being.2
- Fosters self-continuity through social connectedness, leading to eudaimonic well-being and a sense of aliveness and energy.3
