This is a question that is at the forefront of my mind as 2021 begins…
Why?
For a multitude of reasons but primarily because I think no matter what job, the demands on all are different and Covid-19 is having a profound effect on our energy levels, emotional, mental and physical health.
I am encouraging employers everywhere to be aware of this, that now is a good time to invest in support for increasing well-being for their employees, whether they are full time, part-time or casual.
Personal & professional development to support Self-Care during this time is key to sustainability and positive outcomes for all.
One of the exercises that I recommend in my courses & workshops with individuals, organizations and centres I call~ Filling Your Bucket-
Think of water as the fuel you need to keep going and to feel centered.
Draw a line on the bucket to represent your current level of energy & self-care.
Where is your energy going?
How do you feel about where your energy goes?
What fills up your energy in a positive way?
Take a few minutes right now, grab your journal and use these as writing prompts or when you are driving or washing the dishes, take a moment to check in with yourself.
What’s next?
