CREATION HEALTH PRESENTATION CREATION Health is Florida Hospital’s mind-body-spirit approach to resist disease, advance health, and guide people toward a more rewarding and satisfying life. CREATION Health is all about fulfilling each person’s God-given potential, and it breathes love into all interactions. The principles of CREATION Health gives us an idea of how to model holistic health in the workplace and in our personal lives which leads to being a positive influence to our coworkers, families, patients, and all who we interact with. The first principle is Choice. We have the gift of choice. We get to choose to create healthy habits and those choices can lead to positive outcomes each day. Rest – Make use of your PDO, have some downtime so that you can recharge and refresh your batteries. When you are at work, be sure to take your breaks, don’t just work through your lunches. You are going to be a better caregiver, a better coworker, if you’ve had a break from your daily tasks. Everyone needs a breather. Environment – At home create a space that revitalizes you or calms you, depending on what you personally need. My husband is the quieter one, he needs a space that’s well lit and full of bright colors, it energizes him. I need the calming space, soft lights, and the sounds of the ocean. Make your environment reflect what you need. At work this can be more of a challenge. If you are working in an office it’s a little easier. If you are working on the floor – work with your team to create a recovery room where you can take a break. Get outside on your breaks, breathe some fresh air. Activity – Whether you are at work or home you can easily fit this in every day. Take stretch breaks – if you are walking a lot each day, take time to stretch your back and legs. Maybe you are sitting at a desk a lot of the day, stand up and move around every hour. Go on that walk outside and get your blood pumping. Trust – At work no matter what position you are in, you are part of a team. You need to build trust with your team members as well as trust in God. Having trust in God makes our mission at Florida Hospital come naturally. Having trust in our teammates makes it easier to contribute to our mission on a daily basis. Interpersonal Relationships – This also builds off of trust and really all of our other principles. You know the saying – it takes a village. Well, it does, but it can start with one person. You can choose to build trust with your coworkers. You contribute to one another being able to have rest each day when you cover for someone on a break. Your attitude and outlook can affect those you work with each day. We have this thing we refer to as our Q10, it refers to us having a best friend at work. You can build great relationships with great people while you are here. You are spending many hours of your day here with other people, they become your work family. Outlook – Have you ever woken up on the wrong side of bed and everything just kept getting worse from here? On the flip side….have you ever woken up on the right side of bed and it just kept going smoothly? I’m sure most of us have experienced both of those things, but it goes to show that your Outlook can greatly affect how your day goes and how the day of others that you come into contact with goes as well. You can choose to do the things that make yourself and others feel good and have good days. Simple things like a smile can have a great impact on others. Nutrition – And of course, nutrition plays a big part in health. We know the big picture of what’s good for us and what’s not so good. Maybe we work on choosing the good, more than the not so good. We try to drink more water so we stay hydrated. During our breaks we revitalize our energy with a healthy lunch. CREATION Health is about the whole person, mind, body, and spirit. Florida Hospital has resources here to help each and every employee live CREATION Healthy.
