In the hustle and bustle of our professional lives, it's easy to overlook the cornerstone of true success: our wellbeing. As we navigate through deadlines, meetings, and projects, let's pause and reflect on the importance of nurturing our physical, mental, and emotional health. 💡 Wellbeing Wisdom: Remember, success isn't just measured by career achievements, but by how balanced and fulfilled we feel in all aspects of life. 🌱 Nourish Your Body: Fuel yourself with nutritious meals, hydrate often, and indulge in regular exercise. A healthy body lays the foundation for a resilient mind. 🧠 Cultivate Mental Fitness: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or journaling to quiet the noise and find clarity amidst chaos. Your mental resilience is your greatest asset. 💖 Prioritize Self-Care: Dedicate time each day to activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Whether it's a brisk walk, a warm bath, or simply unwinding with a good book, cherish these moments of self-renewal. 🌈 Embrace Balance: Strive for harmony between work and personal life. Remember, it's not about perfect balance every day, but about consistently aligning your priorities to reflect your values. 🤝 Build Supportive Connections: Surround yourself with a network of positivity and encouragement. Lean on friends, family, or colleagues when needed, and offer your support in return. 🚀 Unlock Your Potential: When you prioritize your wellbeing, you unlock your full potential to thrive both personally and professionally.

Prioritize your wellbeing for a healthier work life 🌱 Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and this year's World Health Organization theme focuses on mental health at work. In the Netherlands, 1 in 5 employees struggle with burnout, and 19% report burnout symptoms. These facts are a reminder that caring for our mental health is super important—personally and for our work life. Although governments and employers have the main responsibility to protect and promote mental health at work, you can also take steps to support your wellbeing. Here are some techniques I use to manage stress and stay more focused, resilient, and balanced: 🏃♂️ Running: A morning run can boost your dopamine levels, reduce stress, and clear your mind. It can help you feel energized and ready for your working day! l love joining run clubs during the weekend...it is a great way to meet like-minded people and be part of a greater community. For expats in the NL 🇳🇱: It is also a good way to make Dutch friends and practice your Dutch language skills. 🧘♀️ Mindfulness: Taking a few minutes desk break for mindfulness can reduce stress and improve concentration. I recommend you meditate for a few minutes or to try the box breathing technique. 🧘 Yoga: It can help you reduce anxiety, manage your emotions, and promote mental flexibility...preparing you to better manage work-related challenges. ❄️ Ice Baths: While it can be a bit intense, ice baths are amazing to boost your mental clarity and build resilience. Now that autumn is here and the winter season is around the corner, you can also try a cold plunge in nature. In Amsterdam, my favorites are Hima Ice Baths, Renessence or Saints & Stars (if you want a more immersive experience with Sauna). I practice these techniques every week and l can tell you it has been a game changer! Do you have any other technique? or how do you usually take care of yourself? If interested in running clubs I can share with you my favorite ones in Amsterdam. Send me a DM :) #MentalHealthMatters #WorkLifeBalance

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial for building resilience in business. Prioritizing self-care and well-being is key to coping with challenges and setbacks in a more resilient manner. By investing in your own well-being, you can enhance your ability to perform better and be more productive. To achieve a healthy work-life balance, it is important to establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. Setting aside dedicated time for relaxation, hobbies, and time with loved ones can help prevent burnout and promote overall well-being. Incorporating mindfulness practices, regular exercise, and healthy eating habits into your routine can also support both your mental and physical health. Building a strong support network can contribute to your resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks. Seeking support from colleagues, mentors, or mental health professionals when needed can provide valuable guidance and assistance in navigating challenging situations. Remember, self-care is not a luxury but a necessity for maintaining your effectiveness and productivity in the business world. So, prioritize self-care and well-being to achieve long-term success. #SelfCare #WellBeing #WorkLifeBalance #SupportNetwork #Mindfulness #HealthyHabits #Egypt #world #motivation

I am obsessed with this quote. Here’s how it relates to your health & wellness: 1. You don’t unexpectedly get fit - and then start exercising more regularly. 2. You don’t suddenly start working fewer hours - and then develop a better work/life balance. 3. You don’t magically have less stress in your life - and then commit to your meditation practice. You have to set the intention and hold the boundaries FIRST. Then you reap the rewards.

Change Your Life, One letter at a time: #COREMHalphabet 🎉 Over the next few months, I’m sharing what I consider to be life-changing insights related to each letter of the alphabet – tools, perspectives, and reflections to help you live more authentically, connect meaningfully, and embrace a happier life. As a psychotherapist, I see how small mindset shifts can create big impacts. 💫 Each post will include mental health INSIGHTS, journaling self-reflective PROMPTS and COMMUNITY questions. 🌬️ B is for Breathwork- simple, yet deeply impactful! Breathing properly can manage stress and protect our physical health. James Nestor reveals that most of us breathe too quickly and through our mouths, which can increase anxiety, weaken our respiratory system, and reduce oxygenation. Ideally, we should aim to breathe slowly, around 5.5 breaths per minute. Paying mindful attention to the breath, just for five minutes a day, can help you feel more centred and energised. 🌬️ 🚧 B is for Boundaries🛑 🛡️Research highlights that healthy boundaries reduce stress, boost self-esteem, and empower us to say “no” without guilt. Many of us, however, fall into the trap of people-pleasing – saying “yes” to avoid disappointing others, often at the expense of our own needs. Brené Brown emphasises that setting boundaries is one of the most compassionate things we can do, for ourselves and others. ✨As a therapist, I encourage clients to start small by identifying one area in life where they feel overextended or resentful. What’s one “no” you could say that would give you more time and space for yourself? Saying “no” can feel uncomfortable initially, but each boundary we set builds confidence and respect, ultimately making us able to behave authentically. ⚖️ B is for Balance Balance is often the key to lasting happiness and health. ☯️ Strive for harmony between work, relationships, and self-care. 🧘♂️The Buddhist concept of the Middle Way reminds us to avoid extremes – to neither deny ourselves pleasure nor give in to overindulgence. Achieving balance isn’t about rigid control; it’s about creating sustainable habits that bring contentment. 🌅 Try the ‘80/20’ approach. My book on teacher wellbeing (link in comments) explores the importance of maintaining a healthy life-work balance. It’s all about making sure life is your biggest priority, with work as a meaningful, but smaller, part of it—just like the image with this post. 📝 Journaling Prompt: Take 10 minutes to reflect on this: What does my breathing say about my state of mind & body? 🌍 Let’s talk! Have you tried any breathing techniques, or are there moments when focusing on your breath has helped you? What’s one small way you could introduce more mindful breathing into your daily routine? Share your experience – I’d love to hear from you! Hope you like this post too Cornelia Adriana 💜 #MentalHealth #COREMHalphabet #Breathwork #Boundaries #Balance #Mindfulness #TeacherWellbeing

Understanding wellbeing   Defining wellbeing is a critical step in our journey to a balanced and fulfilling life. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, it's about being comfortable, healthy, and happy - outcomes we all desire. However, 1 Giant Mind offers a different perspective, emphasising the quality of our mind and self-awareness as foundational to sustaining wellbeing. It's not just a static state; it's a dynamic experience rooted in stable self-awareness and deliberate participation. For me, this definition resonates deeply. In my pre-meditation days, I believed that intense physical activity was the key to wellbeing. Little did I realise that, despite regular distance running and going to the gym, my work/life balance was askew, I felt anxious, had poor sleep and was literally running myself into the ground. Meditation opened my eyes, helping me to really listen to my body's needs and find the true path to balance. I’ve seen this happen to many of my students as well, which is one of the reasons it’s so great to teach. Understanding wellbeing as a continual balancing act between our capabilities, resources, and life's demands, provides a clear roadmap for growth. It's a journey that can lead to a stable sense of wellbeing when we can detect and respond to our needs in the moment. So, let's embrace this holistic approach, recognising that true wellbeing begins with a balanced mind.  #WellbeingJourney #SelfAwareness #BalancedMind #1GiantMind Mike RobertsNicola Burns-ThomsonJoanne SumnerLouise WhitnallKari Van Eden
