In this last episode in the series on circle of control I talk about finding your bliss by living your best life and exploring the concept that we are not simply looking for the meaning of life - we are looking for an experience of being alive and feeling alive. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes;

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls." - Joseph Campbell, author of The Power of Myth

Where can you have the greatest impact on the human experience?

Where do you find your sweet spot in what lights you up?

In our continuing series, in this episode we'll talk about using the same habit stacking I discussed in the previous Opening Ceremony episode for a closing ceremony.

Get ready for three key tips I find that help as part of my closing ceremony.

In continuing our series that follows my interview of Dr. Robert Sise, I thought I'd share something that I feel is a critical benefit to good mental and physical health. It starts with your morning routine or what I like to call your opening ceremony. These fit nicely into the conversation I shared last week in episode 34 and habit stacking!

I will discuss some options with morning walks, exercise, laughing, dancing, and more!

We continue the series around one thing you can do for your mental health - this episode centers around habits.

James Clear wrote an incredible book called Atomic Habits, and I talk about one of the interesting discoveries researchers found when comparing newborns to adults, and how it's useful to know when trying to improve your habits. 

I give you some examples of "habit stacking", and how you can apply it to your daily routine.

In the current environment we are overwhelmed on all platforms but the seemingly 1 Million things we cannot control. We can spend our life worrying, posting and suggesting the future. OR we can grow where we pour our intention and energy - on the things we can control: Our relationships, health, impact of our work, and on. Join me as we make decisions on where to shift our focus.

The second part of our three-part series with Dr. Robert Sise shifts our discussion to a few very important topics, including how we can reduce the barriers for employees to get care for their dependents, plus we talk about compassion fatigue and cite some examples. He also shares an interesting story from his addiction fellowship at the Seattle VA Addiction Treatment Center.

We shift the discussion to the implementation of town hall meetings at the company and the value we both get from participating in the. We also discuss how it can be implemented in multiple settings. We talk about the Slido app within those meetings and the difficult (but important) questions it brings to those sessions.

It occurred to me recently that being in a mental health organization, I have a unique opportunity to share more with the HR world related to mental health and wellbeing.  For our employees, for our leaders, for ourselves.  I am grateful to have resources, experts and so much content dedicated to this subject that we are going to spend the next few months FOCUSED on this topic.  We are going to dive deep into topics such as burnout, finding balance, integration of work and life, mental health challenges, stigmatizing language, how-to handle employee concerns, etc. 

On this first episode with Dr. Robert Sise, we turn our focus first to the elements facing all HR teams:  Burnout, fatigue and overwhelm.  How can we see it, help it and connect with one another to work toward the new future of work?
