Claire and Sue discuss the term ‘self-love’ - what it means and what it conjures up for each of them. Exploring how our interpretation of words and phrases can sometimes get in the way of understanding what we really need and may even prevent us from doing what we need to take care of our mental well-being. This episode highlights how a simple reframe can help us shift our thinking and focus on what’s right for us.

Claire and Sue offer insight into the role that feedback plays in our mental well-being. Delving into the differences between feedback and criticism and the processes we can go through to give and receive feedback more effectively, in our personal lives as well as in the workplace. A real game changer!

It is National Work/Life Week so Claire and Sue discuss what this means for them, how we can adapt this for our Mental Well-being and how to bring about a communication culture within our workplaces that supports this whole theme. By understanding what we need, trying out new ways and being open to being adaptable, we can develop this concept and start the movement for ourselves and within our organisations.

Claire and Sue discuss how we regularly compare ourselves with others and how this can have a negative impact on our mental well-being. Often we don’t even realise we are comparing and we may have got into this habit that does not serve us. By simply noticing when this is happening we can begin the process of changing this habit. Instead of comparing we can acknowledge others’ skills and identify our own, leading to a healthier mindset and a more resilient nature.

Claire and Sue explore the idea of choice being our secret super-power. Looking at the difference between choice and dilemma; what to do when we feel as though our choices are too limiting and how being more intentional with the choices we make, can place us in a position of empowerment.

Claire and Sue introduce their concept of the Bank of Self. A bank that you use for your own mental well-being. By depositing tools and techniques, that work for you, you can build up your account so that when you need to, you can draw on them to help you work through the situation you face. By regularly depositing into the Bank of Self you will build your resilience and grow a healthier mindset.
