ARTA Mental Wellness Challenge Bingo

Jennifer Hope | Manager of Marketing and Promotions , ARTA
These past few years have been hard on our mental health . ARTA ’ s purpose is to support our members in an engaged lifestyle , which includes being mindful of our members ’ mental health . The ARTA Wellness Committee is dedicated to providing members with new ideas and programs to initiate habits that improve mental well-being .
Improving one pillar of mental illness affects the others , as each pillar is closely related to the next .
● Emotional wellness is the ability to navigate and regulate our feelings .
● Spiritual wellness gives us a sense of purpose and connection to something bigger than ourselves .
● Intellectual wellness is the capacity to solve problems , learn new information , and think for ourselves .
● Physical wellness is our overall bodily health , including diet , exercise , and medical care .
● Social wellness is the act of making connections and forming relationships with those around us .
ARTA ’ s annual Mental Wellness Challenge Bingo provides members with new ideas and motivation to explore the pillars of mental wellness . We hope to inspire you to recharge and refresh your mental well-being to enable you to live a longer and more fulfilling life .
HOW IT WORKS
Once you have completed a mental wellness exercise on the bingo card , cross it off and move on to the next exercise . For every completed “ bingo ” ( a line across , down , or diagonal ) you will receive one entry into a draw ( up to a maximum of three entries ). If you get a “ blackout ,” you will get five entries ! Each entry will give you the chance to win some great prizes including ARTA gear from the ARTA apparel store . The bingo card can be found online at arta . net / bingo if you would like to download a copy . You can submit your bingo card by emailing a picture or scanning your card to contests @ arta . net .
