Hi 👋

I've been quiet on here, and busy in the background.

Got something new for you soon.

I'm back with a visual about procrastination to help us all understand what lies beneath.

Often leaders are perfectionists and high achievers, whick can lead to, and perpetuate cycles of procrastination.

YOU ARE NOT LAZY.

Whatever feeling you have about returning to work today, you'll probably be battling some emails.

It might seem like everything is urgent today, but we can get caught up in the anxiety and the panic.

Here are a few tips I share in my short masterclass, designed to beat annual leave anxiety.

It's important to maintain perspective, pause, and manage the back to work feelings with some clarity.

1.) Pause
2.) Plan
3.) Prioritise

Some people find it helpful to categorise emails in terms of urgency.

People often make us feel everything is urgent, but we can't do everything at once.

The return to work anxiety can create a nervous energy that is contagious.

Most people want to survive the return, and establish their routine.

Compassion is required in BUCKETS this week to support the collective anxiety.

And remember how many times you have survived the post holiday return to work.

You can do it 🙏

Step away from work.

For MOST of us:

1.) work can wait 99% of the time
2.) our loved ones would rather have our company than know you're up to date with your email
3.) annual leave is designed for rest. Let it do it's job, by you not doing your job
So set your out of office on, and mean it.

If you are secretly checking your email when on leave, it's probably a sign you shouldn't be.

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas Eve.

Thanks to everyone who works in front line services and any industry that keeps on going to keep us safe, fed and entertained throughout the festive period 🙏

A little note today to thank all my connections and supporters for this rollercoaster year.

I've made a few changes to my work, and my focus this year. It feels so good to do what feels right.

I remain completely enthused about workplace wellbeing and I am looking forward to facilitating workshops, and nurturing relationships next year. I know it's cheesy but we're truly all in this together.

I'm looking forward to new projects, while I continue to work clinically with clients who are courageous and committed to improving their mental health.

I'm finished work now, until the 8th January, when I will respond to all queries.

You can still send in enquiries for booking workshops on my website.

There's nothing quite like facilitating groups and helping people discover how to support themselves and their team.

In a supportive environment, when feeling safe, the little aha moments flow freely. When in the midst of stress, we often can't see past our own nose.

For the festive season, a reminder to REST when you can, and allow your body and mind to recharge.

Amongst the chaos, take note of the little things.
These are usually the moments we treasure and are not bound up in expectation and perfectionism.
Just little bursts of joy each day ❤️

This is for anyone who struggles to switch off during leave from work.
Do you reach for the laptop?
Check emails?
Worry about work during time off?
It's common, but it keeps us stressed and can prevent true rest.

I know there are caveats but most of us work in roles where our work is not essential every single day.

Being present....

And not worrying too much about the
🎁🎁🎁.

Ask yourself if you remember which gifts people gave you last year?

Then think about what you REALLY remember, and focus on the most meaningful stuff.

I love giving gifts. But they're not the most memorable part of the festive period, despite the stress they can cause.

Enjoy the little moments ❤️
