Some days (or weeks, or months…) it feels like you just can’t find any time to do, well, much of anything. With so many responsibilities taking up so much of your calendar, squeezing in time for a walk or a chat with a good friend isn’t always easy. Those types of wellness goals are important, but sometimes you need a bit of help to achieve them. BetterYou is that help!

BetterYou is a digital healthy habits companion that seamlessly integrates into your life and gives you tiny boosts of motivation that add up to big changes. After setting up your wellness goals – getting more sleep, reading more, more time meditating, and more – BetterYou goes to work logging those activities without any manual entry. This limits the time you spend staring at your screen and opens up more time to spend doing the things you love. 

But you won’t be working toward those wellness goals alone. You can challenge – and be challenged by! – other BetterYou users in your community. Getting those 10,000 weekly steps in is a lot more fun when there’s some friendly competition and encouragement in the mix. And, of course, where there are contests, there are prizes. 

So, let’s review:

• Automatic wellness logging

• Friendly community challenges

• Building Healthy Habits that stick

The best part? NJIThas partnered with BetterYou to make it completely free for staff and faculty!
