Wellness Champions of the Quarter
What is a Wellness Champion?
A wellness champion is, "anyone who fosters, facilitates, or engages workplaces and its employees in an active process of increased consciousness and wisdom, working toward a more successful existence.”
As a WELCOA Gold Certified member, we used the great resources provided to us by the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA) and asked for you to tell your wellness story and choose a credo that best relates to you, giving a platform to inspire others in the CG Zest Wellness community.
In the last Quarter of 2022, we are featuring Somer Zuiker from Allied World Assurance Company and Cammie Simmons at CG Insurance, both based in Bermuda.
Somer was selected by the Allied World Wellness Committee for being the most consistently improved employee in the CG Zest Wellness Program. She has been determined to improve her levels of physical energy and health over the past year.
“My regular workout routine became stagnant after years of attending the same workout classes. Throughout my well-being journey, I have focused on fostering positive social relationships while doing engaging activities together. For example, going on a walk with a friend, joining a volleyball team, and trying out new sports such as rowing and pickleball. I find incorporating activities with friends into my fitness routine makes working out more fun and improves both my physical and emotional well-being.
The wellbeing champion credo that relates best to Somer is, “I focus on process as much as on outcome, realizing that well-being itself is defined as an ongoing process toward a more successful existence. I enjoy the journey.”
“Focus on fostering positive social relationships while doing engaging activities together.”
Well-being to Cammie means self-care and loving oneself; physically, mentally, and spiritually through daily fitness, meditation, reading, and studying.
Cammie made the decision a few years ago to lead a more natural lifestyle- “Realizing that I am getting older and in order to prevent illnesses that may occur as we age, I decided to drastically change everything I do - grow my own food, use all natural and homemade products in my hair and on my body. As a result, I look at everything I do daily as a means of protecting myself and my environment from outside threats.”
And the positive outcomes resulting have been abundant! “I am happy with myself. I have more energy, and I feel good – on the inside and outside. Nothing is impossible when you truly believe in yourself and intentionally set your feet in the direction you want to go.”
Speak positive affirmations in your daily life.
“I am an influencer of the good life. I can achieve great success daily in everything I do.”
