Miranda Leurquin, MBA, SHRM-SCP’s Post

World Mental Health Day was yesterday and I was just being reminded how easy it is to overlook how it plays out in our day to day life. I still remember the first time I had a panic attack at work. I couldn't even say that it was panic attack because I didn't have the word for it. I just felt my heart was racing fast and my head was spinning. I was stuck in a job with toxic environment, plus nagging coworker that I had to work closely with. I failed to do a simple task, let alone doing a complex project. I forced myself to get up everyday because I had to make it work to pay the bills. Every time that feeling came, I ran to the bathroom or my car just to catch my breath. I felt like I couldn't share it with anyone because there's this pressure of self-image. "Why would a bubbly cheery me struggles with this?" or "I'm a strong person, this is a small thing. I should be able to handle this." Those are the narratives that keep playing in my head. It wasn't until a friend noticed the change in my behavior and asked me a simple question: "Patty, how are you really doing?" I burst out crying. Everyday, we are given a chance to connect with others, whether it is our coworkers, neighbors, relatives, or strangers. I'm guilty of just throwing a simple how are you question just because it is the society's norm of saying hello. Friends, how can we be more thoughtful in connecting with others? Do you notice anyone around you that may need some help? Or in what ways can you be more intentional with your circle? #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealthday #awareness

On this World Mental Health Day allow me to share how I'm on a mission to use my consulting business to put my therapy business out of business. Did you know: 📣 83% of US workers say they experience work-related stress daily? 📣 almost 20% of workers say they work in a toxic environment? 📣 people who work in toxic environments are 3x more likely to experience impacts to their mental health? If your company wants a training on burnout or resilience but refuses to do the work to change the environment that's burning your people out, your employees will probably be more annoyed than if you don't offer the training at all. BUT if 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲'𝐬 ready to do that work, I can help. If 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 trying to get out of an environment like that, I can help. If 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 mental health has suffered due to an environment like that, I can also help but that has to be a different post because CA is very persnickety about discussing therapy and coaching through the same materials. Happy World Mental Health Day and Mental Health Month. Let's all take care of ourselves and each other for a healthier world.
