Wednesday Wellness: Steady
Happy Hump Day! There’s no better day to hit pause and consider ways to maintain a sense of balance and steadiness within your workplace than the week’s midpoint! Take a moment to reflect on the professional accomplishments you’ve already achieved this week as well as your goals for its remaining days. Maintaining a steady pace throughout your week, and throughout each day, is key to professional success. So, instead of becoming bogged down by your workload (or thoughts of the upcoming snowy forecast) or distracted by end of year excitement, find your calm by focusing on the present. The sayings that we’re highlighting for you today will help you do just that:
- “I am living what I know.”
- “I give myself space to grow and learn because I understand that there is always room for growth in our lives.”
- “I give all aspects of my life equal focus.”
It’s okay to have areas of opportunity within your personal and professional life–that just means you have room to learn and grow, and that you are able to embark on the adventure that further developing entails. Make sure that you’re harnessing your energy of your end of year excitement and anxieties and letting it steadily fuel your growth instead of emerging in bursts. And strive to apply your focus evenly all of your endeavors, within the workplace and beyond. Join us again tomorrow as we investigate even more concrete ways to keep calm and steady in any professional environment.
