A THRIVE Event

Here we go, with another THRIVE Lunch Stop Spot! Every Thursday lunch time we'll be having a drop-in event in Study @ Bloom, where you'll be able to stop by for a few minutes out of your lunch time for a new event or activity!

This week it's a Plank Competition - bring along a friend and challenge them to see who can hold their plank the longest. Whoever wins gets a prize - whether you share it or not is up to you!

All THRIVE events and activities are set up to align with the PERMA model of positive psychology and are designed to meet at least TWO of the model's five core elements of wellbeing: Positive Emotions; Engagement; Relationships; Meaning; and Accomplishment.

Here's how this activity meets the model:

POSITIVE EMOTIONS

Movement and exercise releases endorphins, creating feel good emotions. So, why not sweat (just a little bit) with friend as you both hold your picture-perfect planks? Even a moment of exercise is better than none, plus, it'll help wake up your body when you hit that afternoon slump.

RELATIONSHIPS

A little friendly competition never hurt anyone! Bring a friend, or even partner up with a stranger! Joint activities (whether it's a competition or you're working together) can bring you closer with those around you. You may even find yourself gaining a new workout buddy afterwards! Afterall, accountability makes it more likely for you to do the difficult things in life.

ACCOMPLISHMENT

Whether you hit a new PB or not, you would've came and given it ago! Being able to tick this off your list can help you feel a little more satisfied with yourself. It doesn't matter how long you plank for (and it really doesn't matter who wins) - what matters is that you came and gave it a go!
