Whether it's brushing teeth, checking a phone, or hitting the gym, habits shape daily routines and impact well-being. The time it takes to form a habit can vary greatly depending on the individual, the complexity of the behavior, and the level of motivation and effort involved. In this challenge, participants discover effective strategies to break unhelpful habits and build healthier ones!
A Duke University study found that about 45% of daily behaviors are habitual, meaning nearly half of what individuals do each day is automatic. To start, participants will learn about habit formation, including its five stages and reinforcement loops that sustain or break these patterns over time. They will then earn Wellable Points by engaging in five Healthy Habits Exercises, which involve watching a short video and completing an associated exercise to help build lasting routines, achieve sustainable success, and meet health goals.
For each Healthy Habits Exercise a participant completes, they will be entered into a raffle to win a reward. Grand prizes will also be awarded at the end of the challenge to three participants using a Wellable Points-based raffle where each Wellable Point earned equals one entry into the raffle.
The raffle structure helps stretch a rewards budget for maximum impact by encouraging participation throughout the challenge, as the odds of winning a prize increase with the number of Healthy Habits Exercises practiced and Wellable Points earned.
Wellable Points can be earned by tracking distance traveled from walking and running through one of Wellable’s partner apps or by manually logging these activities in a Wellable User Account.
Wellable Points can be earned by tracking distance traveled from cycling through one of Wellable’s partner apps or by manually logging these activities in a Wellable User Account.
Wellable Points can be earned by tracking other fitness activities, such as yoga, aerobics, and weightlifting, through one of Wellable’s partner apps or by manually logging these activities in a Wellable User Account.
During the challenge, participants will learn about habits and practice effective strategies to break unhelpful behaviors and cultivate healthier ones. They will watch a short educational video and log the completion of an associated Healthy Habits Exercise to earn Wellable Points. Each exercise can be logged for Wellable Points once during the challenge.
