Transform your happiness and well-being with mindfulness
Build Scientifically Proven Mindfulness Skills with eMLife
Hoos Well has partnered with eMLife to provide employees and spouses on the UVA and UPG Health Plans with complimentary access to mindfulness resources that you can apply to everyday life to promote health and happiness, manage stress and anxiety, and enhance focus and overall well-being.
The eMLife website and mobile apps (iOS and Android) include:

This quarter's theme is Cultivating Joy! Joy is often mistaken for a fleeting emotion—something that arrives unannounced, sparked by luck, success, or external validation. But joy, unlike momentary happiness, is not something we stumble upon. It is something we can grow. It is cultivated—deliberately, patiently, and with care.
Monthly Themes for Fall 2025:
October: Resilience skills and flourishing
November: Gratitude
December: Happiness and holiday joy

Bringing Calm & Focus to Overwhelming Situations: Whether we’re at home or at work, life gets overwhelming. Learn tools to be fully present in situations or with people that have previously led us into difficult emotions. Explore individual stress factors and explore ways that we can stay with the intensity of feelings that come up during overwhelming situations by learning to recognize and sit with them, rather than reacting on automatic pilot or needing to get rid of these feelings.
