Fresh Start Reset Toolkit

Space, time, digital life, relationships

Life rarely changes all at once. It drifts. Desks fill up, weeks get crowded, screens follow us from room to room, and the story we tell ourselves slowly becomes, “This is just how it is.”

The Fresh Start Reset toolkit gives your team a simple pause to notice that drift and choose a better direction. The printable Fresh Start Guide walks through four common areas: physical space, time and energy, digital life, and connections with other people. Employees can pick the one area that fits their current season, then choose one or two small actions that feel realistic, like clearing a single shelf, protecting a quiet hour on the calendar, taking a phone free walk, or trimming late night scrolling.

You can also highlight support like your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and any identity theft protection benefits, so people know they have backup while they reset.

Take a moment to reset

Body

Hi team,

After big goals or busy seasons, many of us notice a quiet drift. Papers pile up, calendars get crowded, screens stay within reach, and we feel a little less like the person we want to be.

To support you, we are sharing a short worksheet, the Fresh Start Guide [attached/linked]. It walks through five areas where life often needs a reset: physical space, time and energy, digital life, relationships, and the story you tell yourself about who you are. You do not need to tackle everything. Just choose the one area that matters most right now.

You might clear one small space, protect a weekly block of time, set a simple limit around late-night scrolling, take a walk outdoors without your phone, or reconnect with someone you have been missing. Research suggests that even modest changes in device use can support better mood, focus, and sleep.

[Employers: include this paragraph only if you offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)]
If this brings up stress, grief, or questions about your role or identity, you do not have to figure it out by yourself. Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers free, confidential support for you and your household members. You can talk with a counselor about work strain, family conflict, long term habits, or feeling stuck. Contact your EAP at 888-720-5237 any time.

[Employers: include this paragraph only if you offer identity theft protection]
If your plan includes identity theft protection, you can also turn on tools that help watch for unusual activity and support you if a problem comes up. For example, some programs offer credit and social media monitoring, device security, secure VPN, and help with certain costs and expert support if identity theft occurs. See the attached identity protection flyer.

[Employers: include this paragraph only if you offer Nice Healthcare through BHT]
If you have Nice Healthcare, you can also take a first step in your reset by talking with a clinician about stress, mood, sleep, or habits. Nice offers $0 virtual and in person visits for primary care and mental health, often with same day or next day appointments, so you can connect from home, work, or even during a walk. Check your Nice Healthcare app or flyer to get started.

We hope the Fresh Start Guide gives you space to reflect and pick one or two steps that fit your life right now. If you have questions about your benefits, please contact [HR/benefits contact].

Tómese un momento para reiniciar

Body

Hola equipo:

Después de grandes metas o temporadas muy ocupadas, muchos notamos un cambio silencioso. Se acumulan papeles, las agendas se llenan, las pantallas siempre están cerca y nos sentimos un poco menos como la persona que queremos ser.

Para apoyarles, compartimos una hoja de trabajo breve, la Guía de Nuevo Comienzo [attached/linked]. Recorre cinco áreas en las que la vida suele necesitar un reinicio: el espacio físico, el tiempo y la energía, la vida digital, las relaciones y la historia que usted se cuenta sobre quién es. No tiene que trabajar en todo. Solo elija el área que sea más importante para usted en este momento.

Tal vez limpie un espacio pequeño, proteja un bloque de tiempo cada semana, ponga un límite sencillo al uso del teléfono por la noche, dé un paseo al aire libre sin su celular o se comunique con alguien a quien ha extrañado. Estudios sugieren que incluso cambios modestos en el uso de dispositivos pueden ayudar al estado de ánimo, la concentración y el sueño.

[Employers: include this paragraph only if you offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)]
Si estos temas le generan estrés, tristeza o preguntas sobre su papel o su identidad, no tiene que enfrentarlo solo/a. Nuestro Employee Assistance Program (EAP) ofrece apoyo confidencial y sin costo para usted y las personas de su hogar. Puede hablar con un consejero sobre el estrés laboral, conflictos familiares, hábitos de muchos años o la sensación de estar estancado/a. Comuníquese con su EAP al 888-720-5237 en cualquier momento.

[Employers: include this paragraph only if you offer identity theft protection]
Si su plan incluye protección contra robo de identidad, también puede activar herramientas que ayudan a vigilar actividades inusuales y le apoyan si surge algún problema. Algunos programas ofrecen supervisión de crédito y redes sociales, seguridad para dispositivos, VPN segura y ayuda con ciertos gastos y con especialistas si ocurre un robo de identidad. Consulte el folleto de protección de identidad adjunto.

[Employers: include this paragraph only if you offer Nice Healthcare through BHT]
Si cuenta con Nice Healthcare, puede dar un primer paso en este reinicio hablando con un profesional sobre el estrés, el estado de ánimo, el sueño o sus hábitos. Nice ofrece visitas virtuales y en persona por $0 para atención primaria y apoyo de salud mental, a menudo el mismo día o al siguiente, para que pueda conectarse desde casa, desde el trabajo o incluso durante una caminata. Use la aplicación o el folleto de Nice Healthcare para comenzar.

Esperamos que la Guía de Nuevo Comienzo le dé espacio para reflexionar y elegir uno o dos pasos que encajen con su vida en este momento. Si tiene preguntas sobre sus beneficios, comuníquese con [HR/benefits contact].
