Arianna Huffington has said, ‘create a wellbeing culture, a healthy workforce is a productive workforce’. There is profound truth in this sentiment as only healthy minds can work well. When you are a modern tech entrepreneur or an office worker, we can assume that the proportions of work related tasks placed upon you are approximately 10% physical and 90% mental. It is theref...

Back in 2017 CoFounder Magazine published an article by Marc Dillon entitled, ‘Stress Test’, it raised a question how to effectively deal with stress and how to get the best results from the organizations that you lead. This article inspired Dr Helena Lass to write a story to Co-Founder Magazine and answer that question. Proactive mental wellness is&nbs...

Mental wellness is a proactive approach to mental health – it is the discipline that helps to keep all our inner capabilities in good shape. When people are equipped with effective methods to handle every-day challenges, pressures will not escalate to stress and from there on to burnout and mental illnesses like depression, anxiety etc. Why pre...

All success stems from personal initiative. When people are not engaged with what they do or feel passive they lack intrapersonal skills that enable them to take individual initiative. This means that their life is at a standstill until this changes.  Nature has organized us in a excellent way, so that we can survive as physical entities without ever having to use our self-awareness a...

Good news! Dr Helena Lass has her second article published on Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global. It’s her sixth article published in UK, US and New Zealand media. We would be extremely happy if you could share those stories with your colleagues and friends. Dr. Lass’s latest article, 'New Path Towards Mental Wellness', maps out our inner systems and brings into focus ...

Focusing on mental wellness is an opportunity to positively influence the lives of all employees, entrepreneurs and achievers. In her latest article published in Human Resource Institute New Zealand (HRINZ) magazine entitled “High Performance is the Result of Mental Wellness”, Dr. Lass discusses the importance of mental wellness and the benefits it can bring individuals, e...

“Positive stress is a double-edged sword. It releases energy for you to float high on the tides of life, but can just as quickly turn against you…” With burnout being one of the most common byproducts of our always-on society, it should not be taken so lightly. Burnout can have adverse effects on not only an individual’s mental wellness, but also a business’ profi...

With it being Mental Health Awareness week in the UK this week (14-21 May 2018), HR Magazine UK has today published and shared an article entitled “Intrapersonal Skills As A Proactive Way To Personal Sustainability” written by Dr Helena Lass.  The article pointed out that the business costs of poor mental health are increasing, and businesses can n...

The arena of mental health has been stagnating for some time, as there is no single gene known to cause psychiatric illnesses there are no simple medical solutions. Historically the focus on mental health topics has been placed upon disorders and the cure. The majority of methods in psychology have been developed as forms of intervention for a therapy setting and not as a proactive education. When...

Wellness Orbit’s new and innovative e-trainings have been on the market for a year. Despite the success, the most common question we have had from user feedback is: “Am I able to have Wellness Orbit only for certain teams within my company?” Absolutely, we hear you! From now on the answer is always, yes! We changed our pricing focus from whole companies to teams, ...

For any company, hiring an experienced and insightful professional who is already trained and fully competent is the dream for any employer. In reality those organizations that have trained such people (and they do exist!), also value them enough to keep them. You therefore need to build your own talent. If you want to start retaining your own talent, you have probably wandered at some point &n...

We suggest taking an inventory of Yourself before fully journeying into 2018. What if you are like an idle supercomputer that is currently only utilizing a few outdated apps, but are failing to use your newer and more effective tools/programs that could boost your performance tenfold? Bet you didn’t even know you could access these! Your current autopilot mode runs the very much-outdat...

2018 has been amazing for all of us in the team of Wellness Orbit. We started this year without any trainings on the market. And we finished it with the best Christmas present that we could get. This best present is actually our newest client - University of Tartu. What makes it so special? University of Tartu is established 1632 and is one of the oldest Universities in Europe. That ...

Are you a mere body? In the modern era we tend to see humans more or less as material entities, prioritizing the physical body, ignoring the mental and discarding the spiritual aspects. However, if a human being is considered to be just a physical body it equals to being a bio-robot. With the change in aspirations (from mere survival to being happy) alongside with the shift in the nature of wor...

Everything we do for work, directly depends on mental functions Although we work with the “head”, relying dominantly on inner mental functions to get our work done, the approach at workplaces to this vital resource has been of a reactive type – becoming highlighted only when serious problems emerge. The approach to mental wellness needs to be very systematic and pro-active....
