The 5 Pillars of Wellness Challenge is a 4-week comprehensive wellness challenge that helps participants build healthier habits across physical, mental, nutritional, financial, and social well-being.
This challenge focuses on five key areas of well-being: physical wellness, mental well-being, nutrition, financial wellness, and social connection. Participants can earn points by completing activities that support one or more of these areas.
Participants can complete a wide range of eligible activities, including yoga, meditation, sleep, walking, running, bicycling, eating fruits and vegetables, drinking water, financial wellness education, joining a club, connecting with others, and volunteering.
