“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” - Stephen Covey Excited to share my completion of the course - 'Managing Stress and time' by Dr. Shari Collins from Arizona State University. This course has helped me with valuable tools and strategies to effectively manage stress and time in both my personal and professional life. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their productivity, well-being, and overall quality of life. #StressManagement #TimeManagement #WellBeing #MentalHealth

Comfort zones provide stability, security, and familiarity, allowing individuals to feel at ease and confident in their abilities. This can be beneficial for maintaining a sense of well-being and reducing stress in certain situations. On the other hand, discomfort zones push individuals out of their familiar territory, challenging them to grow, learn, and adapt. Stepping outside of one's comfort zone can lead to personal and professional development, as it encourages resilience, creativity, and innovation. Ultimately, a healthy balance between comfort and discomfort zones is ideal. It's important to know when to lean into the discomfort zone to foster growth and when to retreat to the comfort zone for rejuvenation and stability. #saturdaythoughts #motivationalthoughts

Cultivating resilience in the workplace is essential for navigating challenges effectively. Firstly, fostering a growth mindset is crucial. This involves reframing setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth rather than insurmountable obstacles. Maintaining a strong support network is vital. Building relationships with colleagues and mentors provides emotional support and different perspectives during tough times. Practicing self-care is essential for resilience. This includes prioritizing physical health, managing stress through techniques like mindfulness or exercise, and ensuring a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, developing problem-solving skills and adaptability helps individuals navigate unexpected hurdles with agility. Moreover, setting realistic goals and celebrating achievements, no matter how small, boosts morale and motivation. Finally, maintaining a sense of purpose and perspective can help individuals stay resilient in the face of adversity, reminding them of the bigger picture and their personal values. By incorporating these strategies, individuals can cultivate resilience in the workplace, enabling them to bounce back stronger from challenges and thrive in their professional endeavors. #ResilienceInWork #AdversityToAdvantage #WorkplaceWellness #GrowThroughChallenges #OvercomingObstacles #ThrivingAtWork #ResilientMindset #WorkplaceResilience #EmbraceAdversity #AdaptAndOvercome #ProfessionalGrowth #SuccessThroughResilience #WorkplaceSuccess #ResilienceTraining #WorkplaceDevelopment #StayStrongAtWork #PersistAndThrive #ResilientTeams #BuildingResilience #workplaceempowerment

🌟 Exciting Updates from the Transcending Resilience Program! 🌟 Following our successful launch, Jason Pascoe and I are thrilled to share some incredible feedback from our initial sessions! 🚀 We've had profound discussions in our live group Zoom calls, where participants have dived deep into their personal self-efficacy, optimism, and post-traumatic growth through our Best Hopes framework. The journey so far has been enlightening and deeply impactful. Here's a glimpse of what our participants have shared:  🌟 "The activities really made me think deeply about my journey through this topic. Speaking with like-minded people and gaining insight into the way they are working through the thought-provoking questions put to the group by Michelle and Jason."  🌟 "I really liked writing my own wellness diagram. It allowed me to think of the gaps between influence and wellness and the strategies I deployed during that low period to keep my wellness up. Since I've done it before, I can clearly do it again. The walls don't seem so thick anymore." 🌟  "The deeper connections made from the first session. The opportunities to interact with colleagues. Unpacking leadership journey and cross-referencing my wellbeing journey. I'm really seeing great utility in the 'what worked well, what didn't work well, what do I want to happen instead' template." Our sessions are not only about learning but also about building connections and supporting each other's growth. The mixture of breakout groups and individual reflections has been particularly effective, as noted by our participants.
